摘要： A prize progression graphic displayed at a gaming machine includes a number of prize progressions with each respective prize progression including a respective prize and a respective set of progression segments. The respective prize associated with a prize progression represents a prize that may be won if all of the steps are taken, that is, all of the progression segments for the given prize progression are completed. In addition to displaying the prize progression graphic, a number of player selectable objects are displayed at the gaming machine. In the course of play, a player is enabled to select from among the player selectable objects to reveal prize progression affecting elements. Some prize progression affecting elements cause a corresponding change in progress along of one or more prize progressions, while other such elements modify the prize progressions such as by shifting prizes associated with the prize progressions.

摘要： An apparatus for producing shared image games includes a number of gaming machines, with each gaming machine having a respective video display device. The apparatus also includes a shared image display control arrangement and a shared image prize controller. The shared image display control arrangement controls the respective video display device associated with each gaming machine in the number of gaming machines to produce a shared image graphic effect such as a multi-segmented prize reel that appears to extend across the different video display devices. The shared image prize controller operates to award a shared image prize for at least one of the gaming machines. This shared image prize corresponds to a prize represented at least in part by a respective one of the reel segments displayed at the video display device of the respective gaming machine when the reel segments appear to come to a stop. For example, a given reel segment may show a prize value that is awarded to the player at the particular gaming machine, or may show a multiplier value that is applied to some value accumulated for the player at the particular gaming machine.

摘要： A gaming machine and a method of conducting a game of chance on the gaming machine are disclosed. In response to a wager from a player, the machine conducts a selection game including a plurality of selectable elements associated with respective outcomes. In response to a player's selection of one of the selectable elements, the machine awards the outcomes associated with the selected element and at least one of the non-selected elements. The awarded outcome may, for example, include a payoff, a bonus game, or awarding the outcome associated with yet another of the non-selected elements. If the awarded outcome includes the bonus game, the bonus game may re-trigger the selection game.
