An electronic gaming machine includes a display device and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a game-state-retention sign based upon a plurality of game variables representing a state of a wagering game, where the game-state-retention sign includes a first two-dimensional machine-recognisable image that encodes the plurality of game variables. When executed, the instructions also cause the processor to display the game-state-retention sign on the display device for image capture by a handheld player device, where the handheld player device is configured to display a game-continuation sign generated from the game-state-retention sign for resuming play of the wagering game.

Systems and methods for game state retention and continuation at electronic gaming machines

A gaming machine and method comprising independent displays and controls to play a game individually or as a group game between players. The gaming machine comprises a controller that controls, in individual games or group games and irrespective of wagers applied, each reel of a first set of reels and a second set of reels spin to a respective stop position to thereby select, at a conclusion of spinning, symbols that fill a first set of columns of symbol display positions and a second set of columns of symbol display positions, and evaluates the symbols displayed in the first set of columns of symbol display positions based on a pay table and wagers.

Gaming machine having independent controls and displays for single and multi-player play

A gaming device is provided that includes a plurality of game windows, each game window having an identical array of symbol positions displayed therein. Symbols are selected for each column of symbol positions, and the columns are then each evaluated to determine if the selected symbols for a column meet a predetermined criterion, e.g., all symbols for the column being the same. If the selected symbols for a column meet the criterion, and the selected symbols of the corresponding column in the other display window do not, the corresponding column may be caused to change its selected symbols to match those in the column that has the selected symbols that meet the criterion. If all of the columns have selected symbols that meet the criterion after such evaluations and potential selected symbol changes are performed, then an award may be provided.

Gaming device with a user interface incorporating a feature indicator

A gaming system includes a game controller to determine from a base game if an outcome meets a first eligibility, in response to the outcome meeting the first eligibility, increment a first counter, determine if the first counter meets a feature eligibility, in response to the first counter meeting the feature eligibility, increment a feature counter, determine jackpot features having jackpots, the jackpot features being associated with eligibility thresholds, and some of the jackpot features have different eligibility thresholds, provide on a display device one or more of the jackpot features having respective eligibility thresholds satisfied by the feature counter, receive, via a player interface, a selection of a first jackpot feature of the one or more of the plurality of jackpot features, and display the first jackpot feature selected.

Gaming system enabling multiple feature modes selectably triggerable with accumulatable eligibilities

Certain embodiments involve a system comprising at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to: cause a first symbol array to be selected and displayed on at least one display in a display area, the first symbol array including a plurality of selected symbols from each reel of a plurality of reels at respective symbol locations of the display area; add at least one first Wild symbol to the display; cause a second symbol array to be selected and displayed on the at least one display in the display area, the second symbol array including a plurality of selected symbols from each reel at the respective symbol locations of the display area; add at least one second Wild symbol to the display; and move the at least one first Wild symbol relative to the display area.

Gaming system

Provided herein are systems and techniques for providing for wager-associated parameter control graphical state management. In such systems and techniques, a portion of one or more displays of an electronic gaming machine that is used to display all or part of a virtual button deck may be transitioned between two graphical states—one in which wager-associated parameter controls are in default positions and enabled for selection by users, and the other in which such controls are minimized or hidden and their wager-associated parameter functionality is disabled or otherwise non-usable by users.

Systems and techniques for wager-associated parameter control graphical state management

A described gaming system implements an arrangement wherein, as part of a first base game instance, a gaming device is caused to include, at a first symbol position of a symbol array to be implemented by a gaming device, a first Wild symbol at a first symbol position on a reel of a plurality of reels; and, as part of a second base game instance following the first game instance, a modification of the reel of the plurality of reels is performed to move the first Wild symbol into a second symbol position different than the first symbol position.

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

A gaming device comprises a processor, a credit input device, a credit meter, a win meter, a bank meter, and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to generate a game outcome, add any win amount resulting from the game outcome to the win meter to establish a win meter balance, upon a win amount added to the win meter satisfying the automatic bank condition, transfer the win meter balance to the bank meter, and upon a residual credit balance of the credit meter being below a desired wager amount corresponding to a desired player selection for a subsequent game after transfer of the win meter balance to the bank meter, conduct a random trial having a probability of success proportional to a ratio of the residual credit balance to the desired wager amount to determine whether to conduct the subsequent game using the desired player selection.
