Abstract: In various embodiments, the gaming system, gaming device, and method disclosed herein maintains a designated award which is associated with a variable score for a skill-based game. In one such embodiment, the gaming system enables a player to play a game, wherein the gaming system forms a score for the player. The player's formed score is based on zero, one or more inputs made by the player during the play of the skill-based game (i.e., which tends to measure one or more aspects of that player's skills). If the player's score does not reach the variable score associated with the designated award, the gaming system modifies the variable score associated with the designated award of that skill-based game. If the player's score reaches or exceeds the variable score associated with the designated award, the gaming system provides the player a designated quantity of opportunities to win the maintained designated award.

Abstract: The gaming system and method disclosed herein provides a plurality of symbol combinations that are each associated with a dynamic award. Such dynamic awards increase based, at least in part, on one or more random events which occur in association with one or more plays of a game. In one embodiment, the gaming system increases the dynamic award of a designated symbol combination based on the random generation of another, different symbol combination. In this embodiment, if the gaming system randomly generates the other symbol combination, the gaming system: (i) provides any award associated with this other symbol combination, and (ii) increases the dynamic award of the designated symbol combination. Additionally, if the gaming system randomly generates the designated symbol combination, the gaming system provides to a player the dynamic award of the designated symbol combination.

Abstract: A gaming system having a first skill, partial skill, or pseudo skill based game having a plurality of individually activatable designated components and a plurality of second chance based games each respectively associated with a different one of the individually activatable components of the skill based game. When each designated component of the first game is activated through one or player inputs, a corresponding chance based game associated with that designated component is activated. Each chance based game randomly determines whether the player wins an award. In one embodiment, the likelihood of activating each designated component is different and the chance based game associated with each different designated component is different.

Abstract: A processor-based gaming machine or system running traditional wager-based primary games includes a secondary game component that provides a secondary game associated with the primary games. The secondary game includes persisting credits having a monetary value that remain across the play of multiple discrete primary games. The persisting credits can be cashed out by a player at any time, and have a value that can rise, fall, or remain constant based on the play of each discrete primary game. The secondary game can involve a themed game where players develop and maintain virtual entities and/or vanity items or statuses. Persisting credits and vanity items can persist across multiple primary game plays and separate gaming sessions, and may be available on separate social gaming venues. Systems can include a remote server that administers the secondary game and a database that stores player profiles for customized secondary game progressions.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a gaming system includes a plurality of gaming devices and a controller configured to communicate with the gaming devices. The gaming system enables a plurality of players to play an interactive game in a non-competitive mode and in a competitive mode. If at least two players play the interactive game in the competitive mode, for a competitive wagering event, which includes a competition between two players, the gaming system determines a winning player and a losing player. The gaming system causes the winning player to contribute a winning player portion toward a wager associated with the competitive wagering event and causes the losing player to contribute a losing player portion toward the wager associated with the competitive wagering event. The losing player portion is less than the winning player portion. The gaming system randomly determines and provides any awards to the winning player based on the wager.

Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中，游戏系统包括多个游戏设备和被配置为与游戏设备进行通信的控制器。 游戏系统使得多个玩家能够以非竞争的模式和竞争模式来玩互动游戏。 如果至少有两名玩家以竞争的方式玩互动游戏，那么在竞争性的投注活动中，包括两名玩家之间的竞争，游戏系统决定了一名获胜者和一名输家。 游戏系统使得获胜玩家向与竞争性投注事件相关联的赌注贡献获胜玩家部分，并且导致失败玩家向与竞争性投注事件相关联的赌注贡献失败的玩家部分。 失败的玩家部分小于获胜玩家部分。 游戏系统根据下注随机地确定并向获胜者提供任何奖励。
