Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that include an enhanced symbol upgrade feature. In an embodiment, if a triggering event occurs in association with the play of the game, such as a slot game, where the triggering event includes a first special symbol of the plurality of special symbols stopping on a payline at a first symbol position on a first reel of the first reel set, the first special symbol is superimposed at a symbol position on a second reel of the second reel set corresponding to the first symbol position on the first reel, and the second reel continues to rotate during the superimposition of the first special symbol thereover.

Method and system including enhanced symbol upgrade feature

A gaming device having a display device including one or more display screens and a blank physical mechanical rotatable wheel mounted behind the display screen(s). Each display screen is capable of showing one or more images in a coordinated manner with the blank mechanical wheel. The display device is particularly suited for a server based gaming environment as discussed below, where the symbols on the mechanical wheel may need to be different for different games caused to be displayed by a central server.

Gaming system having display device with changeable wheel

A gaming device that enables players to accumulate awards until there are no more awards or until one or more termination variables reaches a predetermined limit is provided. A random generation device generates awards upon a player input. One or more termination variables is used, each defined by or divisible into a plurality of units, wherein a random generation device generates an amount of units upon a player input. A game termination limit of accumulated or lost termination units is provided, wherein a player generates awards until accumulating the termination limit of units.

Gaming device having termination variables

A method of operating gaming device that enables players to accumulate awards until there are no more awards or until one or more termination variables reaches a predetermined limit is provided. A random generation device generates awards upon a player input. One or more termination variables is used, each defined by or divisible into a plurality of units, wherein a random generation device generates an amount of units upon a player input. A game termination limit of accumulated or lost termination units is provided, wherein a player generates awards until accumulating the termination limit of units.

Method of operating a gaming device having termination variables

The present invention is a gaming device that enables players to accumulate awards until there is no more awards or until one or more termination variables reaches a predetermined limit. The gaming device includes at least one random generation device, one of which generates awards upon a player input. The gaming device also includes one or more termination variables, each defined by or divisible into a plurality of units, whereby a random generation device generates an amount of units upon a player input. The gaming device also includes a game termination limit of accumulated or lost termination units, whereby a player generates awards until accumulating or losing the termination limit of units.

An electronic gaming terminal includes a game portion which allows a user to select one component from among a plurality of components, in each of a plurality of categories. Preferably, at least one category relates to an entertainment component such a selecting a song, video or the like, and/or selecting an artist, performer and the like. A bonus prize is awarded in an amount correlating with the degree of correspondence with the selections made by the user and a final, preferably randomly selected, combination. In one aspect, one prize is awarded if a player correctly guessed only the artist and a higher prize or bonus is awarded if the player selected correctly both the artist and the song. In one embodiment, the player's selected song is performed during at least a portion of the bonus procedure.

Combination selection and display method and apparatus for a gaming terminal

A single point watering system for a battery having a plurality of cells is provided with a bracket secured to an end wall of a battery casing in overlying spaced relation to an upper surface of at least one cell of the battery. A clamp is provided for securing an inlet fitting on the filler tube of the single point watering system to the underside of the bracket for securely positioning the inlet fitting in a protected, readily accessible location for quick connection and disconnection with a water supply system.
