An electronic gaming device including a display device operable to display a portion of a plurality of reels, and a controller. The controller includes a processor to associate a first lookup table and a second lookup table with a first symbol and a second symbol from a first reel, respectively, select a first entry in the first table that satisfies a target threshold, convert the first symbol with the first entry, and evaluate the portion of the plurality of reels for a win combination that satisfies the target threshold.

A gaming machine may be configured for supporting games that include use of pay modalities, which are overlaid on selected symbols. The gaming machine includes a credit input mechanism configured for establishing a credit balance that is increasable and decreasable based on wagering activities, a display having a plurality of display positions, and a game controller to select a plurality of symbols, to cause the display to display the selected symbols, to determine if the selected symbols associated with at least one of one or more predetermined reels of the plurality of reels include a special symbol, and if so, to determine one or more special values associated with the special symbol, and to overlay a particular one of the one or more special values on each displayed instance of the special symbol. The game controller determines a payout based on assigned special values associated with the displayed special symbol.

Methods and systems for overlaid pay modalities on selected symbols in gaming machines

The disclosed technology describes various embodiments for providing a non-standard progressive jackpot mechanic, which can be used to control an electronic gaming machine ('EGM'). Certain embodiments, for example, comprise inputting wager data identifying a wager selected by a player of a reel game offered by the EGM, wherein the reel game includes one or more progressive jackpot awards; and in response to the inputting, computing updated values of the one or more progressive jackpot awards, wherein the updated values are computed based at least in part on a multiplier value that alters a first set of the one or more progressive jackpot awards into a second set of the one or more progressive jackpot awards different than the first set.

A cashless gaming method including receiving payment for a selected gaming ticket having a predefined fixed value, the gaming ticket being redeemable at a cashless-enabled gaming machine for an associated amount of wagerable credits, and issuing the fixed value gaming ticket to the player responsive to receiving the payment.

System and method for cashless gaming

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for electronic gaming are disclosed. The method includes generating a plurality of reel strips that each include a column of symbol display positions, where each symbol display position includes a symbol, and evaluating each of the symbols in the symbol display positions. The method also includes determining that at least one of the symbols corresponds to a first in-game event, where the first in-game event is associated with a first value, and adding the first value associated with the first in-game event to a first progressive jackpot.

A movable box, indicator, or other area-based selector may determine whether a game instance generates a payout to a player (e.g., the player 'wins'). Thus, the selector may be used to control either or both of a return to player (“RTP”) or volatility. The selector may change its position between games or during a game, such as while values for one or more positions on a playing field are undetermined, move (e.g., change its position) in a random or semi-random fashion, change its size between games or during a game, such that it encompasses more or fewer positions on the playing field than during the previous game, or be used to control either or both of a gaming device's RTP or volatility. The selector's position, size, or the like may vary between games to ensure that the gaming device's RTP and/or volatility remain within acceptable ranges.

Gaming device with mobile win selector

The present invention relates to gaming machines, systems and methods of gaming. There are a number of different ways available for determining an award by current gaming machines and systems. In this embodiment, a game controller is arranged to determine an award depending on the number of columns spanned by a cluster of symbols and the number of symbol positions in the cluster.

Gaming method and apparatus using cluster based awards

According to some implementations, when a triggering symbol lands in a defined area of a slot game display during an instance of a base game, there is a chance that the triggering symbol may change to a new symbol. If so, the new symbol may be held in the defined area and may persist during one or more additional purchased base game instances. The new symbol may persist if at least one additional triggering symbol lands in the defined area in subsequent bought games. Each additional triggering symbol may automatically change to a new symbol as the additional triggering symbol lands in the defined area of the slot game display. Whether the triggering symbol will change to a new symbol may involve a random component. In some examples, the greater the number of triggering symbols, the greater the probability the triggering symbol will change to the new symbol.

Metamorphic persistent symbols using random probability distribution

Many gaming devices use a movable box, indicator, or other area-based selector (collectively, a 'selector') to determine whether a particular instance of a game generates a payout to a player (e.g., the player “wins”). Thus, the selector may be used to control either or both of a return to player (“RTP”) or volatility of the electronic gaming device. The selector may change its position between games or during a game, such as while values for one or more positions on a playing field are undetermined. The selector may move (e.g., change its position) in a random or semi-random fashion. The selector may change its size between games or during a game, such that it encompasses more or fewer positions on the playing field than during the previous game. The selector may be used to control either or both of a gaming device's RTP or volatility, and the selector's position, size, or the like may vary between games to ensure that the gaming device's RTP and/or volatility remain within acceptable ranges.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for electronic gaming are disclosed. In a first aspect, a method of electronic gaming includes initiating, in response to an initial wager, a primary game, selecting, in response to the initiating the primary game, a plurality of primary game symbols, and displaying the plurality of primary game symbols in a plurality of symbol display positions associated with a plurality of reel strips. The method may further include initiating, in response to the initial wager, a jackpot game, selecting, in response to initiating the jackpot game, a jackpot game symbol from a plurality of jackpot game symbols, displaying the jackpot game symbol in a symbol display position associated with a single reel strip, and determining a jackpot award based upon the jackpot game symbol.
