Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for providing sliding symbol operations in grid-base games. The sliding symbol operations allow a player of the gaming device to move, by sliding or dragging, a particular symbol from one cell to another in an array of cells between plays of the grid-based game. Movement of the particular symbol from one cell to another allows a player to control their chances of winning and alter the proposed payouts for winning sequences of symbols for at least one subsequent play of the grid-based game.

Abstract: A method comprises initiating a gaming session for a grid-based game, tracking a number of consecutive losing plays of the grid-based game during the gaming session, and providing a player of the grid-based game with an option to reuse a wild symbol that appears in one play of the number of consecutive losing plays in a next play when the number of consecutive losing plays exceeds a threshold. The method further comprises receiving first input from the player to reuse the wild symbol in the next play, generating, in response to the first input, a sequence of symbols comprising the wild symbol, and causing a display to display the sequence of symbols populated in the array of cells.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to or gaming system providing a game enhancement feature. The electronic game can be conducted on a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of a grid and a variable plurality of symbols can be presented in the plurality of rows and the plurality of columns of the grid. When the game enhancement feature of the electronic game is activated, an indication of the game enhancement feature can be provided to a player of the electronic game. A determination of an outcome of the electronic game can be made based on the variable plurality of symbols presented in the plurality of rows and the plurality of columns of the grid upon termination of the electronic game and the determined outcome of the electronic game can be modified based on the game enhancement feature.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that independently randomly determine and display one or more symbol pattern sets associated with symbol display positions for multiple plays of a game. The gaming system displays each determined symbol pattern set adjacent to the symbol display positions. At various points during the multiple plays of the game, the gaming system removes one or more of the symbols of each of the symbol pattern sets based on and corresponding to one or more of the symbols displayed on symbol display elements at the symbol display positions. Responsive to all of the symbols of one of the symbol pattern sets being removed, the gaming system displays an indication of an award associated with that symbol pattern set.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that provides plays of a game wherein the selection of different symbol display positions of a symbol display position matrix to be active symbol display positions changes volatility of the plays of the game. The systems and methods also provide plays of a game wherein the selection of different symbol display positions of a symbol display position matrix to be non-active symbol display positions changes volatility of the plays of the game.

Abstract: Gaming systems and methods that provides a blocking symbol set bypass feature for a play of a game, wherein the player to elect whether or not to employ the blocking symbol set bypass for the symbol evaluation for that play of the game. When a blocking symbol set bypass is employed for a symbol evaluation for a play of the game, for at least part of the symbol evaluation, the gaming system can skip one or more symbols of a blocking symbol set in evaluating the displayed symbols of the displayed outcome of the play of the game to determine any displayed winning symbol combinations and any awards associated with the displayed symbols.
