    摘要: A gaming system includes a game controller configured to, for each game round of a game: select symbols from a first set that includes first special symbols for display in symbol positions associated with reels to form a game outcome; select a second special symbol from a second set and associate the selected second special symbol with an initial reel; associate each previously selected second special symbol with a subsequent reel or remove a previously selected second special symbol; evaluate the game outcome to determine any winning symbol combination occurring in the game outcome; for each reel, accumulate any first special symbol occurring in the game outcome and determine a prize value based on the accumulated first special symbols and any second special symbol associated with the reel when an accumulation threshold for the reel is met; and generate an award based on a total of prize values.

    摘要: An electronic gaming machine includes a game controller configured to execute instructions stored in a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium, which, when executed by the game controller, cause the game controller to at least: (i) simulate spinning and stopping a first plurality of reels to display a first plurality of symbols from each reel of the first plurality of reels, wherein, while the first plurality of reels are spinning, a second plurality of reels are held stationary; (ii) determine whether the first plurality of symbols include at least one trigger symbol; and (iii) simulate spinning and stopping, in response to the at least one trigger symbol, the second plurality of reels to display a second plurality of symbols from each reel of the second plurality of reels, wherein, while the second plurality of reels are spinning, the first plurality of reels are held stationary.

    摘要: 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.
