An integrated active control system includes gaming devices, a server, and a network connecting the server and gaming devices. The gaming devices include gaming terminals and gaming tables. The integrated active control system aggregates gaming transaction information from the gaming devices and determines, for example, the effectiveness of the gaming establishment's floor configuration. Based on this effectiveness determination, at least one of the gaming devices are instructed to change their configuration. Staffing information may also be considered and reconfigured. The integrated active control system further monitors and configures gaming chips. The gaming chips are programmable, and may store monetary chip value and chip identification information. The programmable gaming chips are monitored for tracking the wagers made with the chips as well as for detecting their location.

Gaming machine

A gaming machine displays, via a display device, a base game outcome in a base game matrix comprising a quantity of base game display positions, and triggers a series of feature game spins in response to determining that the base game outcome comprises at least a threshold quantity of configurable symbols. For a first feature game spin of the series of feature game spins, the gaming machine displays, via the display device, a feature game outcome in a feature game matrix comprising a quantity of feature game display positions. The feature game outcome comprises at least the threshold quantity of configurable symbols from the base game outcome and feature game symbols selected, based on the random number generator, from a feature game symbol set comprising configurable symbols and non-configurable symbols. The quantity of feature game reels is greater than the quantity of base game reels.

A gaming system randomly selects a trigger value for a feature, which starts when the current value of a symbol counter reaches the trigger value. In some examples, a gaming system includes memory that stores data defining reel strips. When a symbol counter is initialized, an initial value of the symbol counter is randomly selected from a range of allowable initial values having an upper limit. A trigger value is randomly selected from a range between the initial value and a ceiling value, which is greater than the upper limit. For each of one or more instances, symbols are selected from the reel strips for display, and the current value of the symbol counter is incremented based on the count of designated symbols, if any, among the selected symbols. Responsive to the current value of the symbol counter reaching the trigger value, the feature is started.
