An electronic gaming machine includes a game controller that executes instructions stored in a memory which cause the game controller to display, on a display of the gaming machine, a plurality of jackpots and a plurality of bonus meters. The instructions also cause the game controller to display, on the display, a plurality of player selectable symbols and to receive a player selection of at least one of the player selectable symbols. In response to receiving the player selection, the selected a jackpot symbol is revealed in place of the selected player selectable symbol, and the game controller adds a prize amount to the bonus meter of the jackpot corresponding to the revealed jackpot symbol. When at least a predefined number of jackpot symbols are revealed, both of a value of the jackpot corresponding to the jackpot symbols and an accumulated value of the associated bonus meter are awarded to a player.

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

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 transitional graphical user interface

An electronic gaming machine and method having independently operable game display windows comprising independent displays and controls to play a game individually or as a group game between or among players. The electronic gaming machine comprises a video display and a game controller configured to display on the video display a first set of reels and a second set of reels, control the video display to initially synchronously spin pairs of first and second reels to a stop, and, upon a potential trigger condition being met, control the video display to asynchronously spin pairs of first and second reels to a stop. The game controller is further configured to control the video display to move a special symbol on the video display in a direction opposite to an evaluation direction towards an evaluated position.

A gaming machine having a game controller, a display, and a player interface. The game controller generates a game state to be displayed. The display also displays an object outside of the game state to be moved into a location within the game state. The player interface receives a player selection of a direction or a speed to move the object into the location to effect a change in the game state.

An electronic gaming machine comprises a symbol selector, in response to game initiation, selecting a plurality of symbols and causing the selected symbols to be displayed at respective ones of a plurality of symbol display positions; a trigger monitor to determine whether one or both of a first feature game trigger condition and a second feature game trigger condition are met by the displayed plurality of symbols; and a feature game controller to conduct: a first feature game having a first game play characteristic if only the first feature game trigger condition is met, a second feature game having a second game play characteristic if only the second feature game trigger condition is met, and a third feature game that combines the first game play characteristic and the second game play characteristic if both the first and the second feature game trigger conditions are met.

Gaming machine having related trigger condition and game play characteristics

In certain embodiments, a gaming system is disclosed that comprises at least one display, a game controller that includes at least one processor and at least one memory device. The at least one memory device stores computer-readable instructions for controlling the at least one processor to cause a symbol array to be selected and displayed on the at least one display in a display area, the symbol array including a plurality of selected symbols from each reel of a plurality of reels at respective symbol locations of the display area. The processor also causes a character to always be displayed, and causes the character to interact with the symbol display area based on defined criteria.

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.
