摘要： A gaming machine comprises at least one visual display (mechanical or video) and a game of chance controlled by a processor in response to a wager. The game of chance includes a primary game and a sorting feature. The sorting feature is triggered by certain start-feature outcomes of the primary game. The sorting feature includes a collection of scrambled objects, such as letters, symbols, pictures, or puzzle pieces, that are at least partially sorted during operation of the sorting feature. The sorting feature generates an award, such as a payoff, a payoff multiplier, or extended play, if the sorted objects match predetermined criteria.

摘要： A gaming machine controlled by a processor in response to a wager includes a chance game feature. The chance game feature includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is associated with the processor and randomly generates a first bonus. The second portion is associated with the player and randomly generates a second bonus. The processor awards the first bonus to the player in response to the second portion prevailing over the first portion in a competition between the first and second portions. The processor preferably awards the second bonus to the player, regardless of the winner of the competition.
