    摘要: An electronic slot machine game is set forth which includes an on-screen bonus and one or more separate screen bonuses. A processor randomly selects to activate a coordinate of a game matrix having one or more pay lines. The coordinate remains activated until a bonus is triggered. When a triggering symbol is randomly assigned to an activated coordinate, an on-screen bonus is issued. When the bonus is issued, all activated coordinates are de-activated. The bonus is related to the amount wagered to play the game, the number of activated coordinates and assigned values or multipliers. Second screen bonuses are triggered by scattered symbols or symbols on enabled pay lines and include a game themed screen for the player to select from a plurality of hidden bonuses or issues a random bonus accompanied by an entertaining video segment.

    摘要: Methods to provide an enhanced likelihood of winning an award and to provide enhanced awards based upon the appearance of symbols on free paylines or free hands of cards. One embodiment uses fifty base paylines and one free payline. The base paylines and the free payline are defined using the same symbol matrix and same reel strips. The free payline is an additional payline with same frequencies of wins and losses as the base paylines. The player wagers upon any number of base paylines. In addition to the wagered upon base paylines, the player also receives a free payline if a designated number of base paylines are wagered upon. A multiplier enhances the award for winning symbol combinations appearing on the free payline, with the multiplier value equal to the total wager. Another embodiment includes a poker game in which a player wagers upon any number of displayed poker hands. In addition to the hands wagered upon, the player also receives at least one free hand if a designated number of hands are wagered upon.

    摘要: The present invention includes a variety of methods to issue awards based upon the order of appearance of symbols in the symbol matrix. An “In-A-Row” embodiment of the present invention displays symbols in random positions of the symbol matrix and issues awards for three or more same symbols appearing in sequential order. For example, the first symbol displayed is an “A,” the second symbol is a “B,” and the third, fourth, fifth and sixth symbols are “C”s. The sequential appearance of four “C” symbols results in an In-A-Row award.

    摘要: A slot machine issues awards for winning combinations formed by an initial spin of all symbol positions in the symbol matrix and subsequent re-spins of all “unlocked” symbol positions until all symbol positions have been “locked.” In a preferred embodiment, an initial spin uses all slot reels and pays for all winning combinations displayed; a pre-determined symbol “locks” all of the symbol positions on that slot reel; “unlocked” reels re-spin and re-pay until all slot reels are “locked.” Other embodiments of the present invention are described within the application.

    摘要: The present invention includes a variety of methods to issue awards based upon “short” and/or “long” pay lines. In general, short pay lines fewer positions than the conventional pay lines; long pay lines use more positions than conventional pay lines. In particular, games using conventional, horizontal pay lines may also use short pay lines with fewer positions, or long pay lines more positions, than the number of columns; and games using conventional, vertical pay lines also use short pay lines with fewer positions, or long pay lines more positions, than the number of rows.
