In an electronic gaming device, instances of a target symbol are swapped in to symbol positions of one or more reel strips using one or more index tables to identify the symbol positions at which to swap in the instances of the target symbol. The index table(s) can be configured to cluster instances of the target symbol according to a deterministic approach. Subsequently, spin results are determined for one or more spins of reels using the reel strips.

Low-complexity reel symbol replacement strategy with clustering

A method of playing a feature game on a gaming machine. A display displays a first game and a second game. A game controller determines if a merging condition occurs, and if a merging condition occurs, animates a merging of the first game and the second game into a merged game at the display. The merged game has a plurality of display positions from the first game, the second game, and a set of additional display positions.

Merged game matrices on an electronic gaming machine

An electronic gaming machine includes a display device and a game controller configured to initiate a feature game that uses a plurality of mechanical reels and the display device, identify a number of feature game symbols initially available for use during the feature game, display a plurality of symbol columns, each symbol column of the plurality of symbol columns is associated with a reel, perform a spin of the reels, in response to the player initiating the play, distribute the number of feature game symbols into the plurality of symbol columns based on an output of a random number generator, each feature game symbol being displayed in a determined symbol column of the plurality of symbol columns, evaluate an outcome of the feature game based on attributing the feature game symbols to associated reels, and award credit to the player based on the evaluating.

Systems and methods for supplementing a wagering game

An electronic gaming machine includes a display device, a player input interface configured to receive player input from a player; and a game controller configured to execute instructions. The instructions cause the processor to display a plurality of game reels including a first game reel type having a plurality of symbol positions and a second game reel type including a grouped symbol position. The instructions also cause the processor to display a bonus symbol in the grouped system position and, in response to displaying the bonus symbol, to display an expanded display area comprising at least one additional symbol position located above the reels of the first game reel type. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a game outcome based upon a combination of the at least one additional symbol position and the plurality of symbol positions.

Systems and methods for providing a feature game

Gaming machine with stepper reel and display screen with a transitional graphical user interface

An interactive electronic gaming machine that includes cumulative free games and a spinning wheel feature is disclosed. The interactive electronic gaming machine is a video slot machine game that includes a base game, cumulative free games, and a spinning wheel feature. The spinning wheel feature may include a plurality of values, selectable in response to a spin and stop of the spinning wheel. The selected value can include a multiplier associated with cumulative free games, which enhances a payout to a player of the interactive electronic gaming machine.
