    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for providing game features. In a game of chance involving at least one outcome, a plurality of alternative outcomes can be derived for a gaming event, such as when one of the outcomes will provide a payout at or above a certain level. The player is presented with an opportunity to select among the alternative outcomes, without being aware of the particular characteristics or values associated with the outcomes. While the player will only select the outcome having the payout at/above the threshold level a certain percentage of the time, the opportunity can be presented to the player more often, while keeping the mathematical probabilities the same or similar if desired, thereby providing the player with the feeling of getting higher value opportunities more often.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for providing multiple spins during gaming events to provide increased opportunities to receive winning outcomes. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to have a plurality of reels with multiple symbols on each reel. A portion of the symbols on each reel are displayed on a game grid having a number of symbol positions. During a gaming event, the symbols are randomly arranged via a first spin on game grid to generate a first configuration and a determination is made as to whether the first condition satisfies a predetermined condition. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the reels or symbols in the symbol positions associated with the predetermined condition are held while the remaining reels or symbol positions are subjected to a second spin to randomly generate a second configuration.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses, computer-readable media, and/or methods that are configured to concurrently utilize presented game components in multiple games or game features within the same or different game. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to enable randomly-presented game components, such as slot game symbols, to be concurrently useable in one or more other games, and/or one or more other game features within the same overall game. Hence, one or more symbols presented in a first game segment are also available in a second game segment, where the game segments may be interrelated or alternatively independent from one another.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses and methods for increasing or otherwise enhancing gaming awards based on correctly predicted occurrences. In a poker context, a prediction of an occurrence may be made, such as predicting a characteristic of a poker card. The prediction is compared to a random selection among a plurality of available items, such as comparing the predicted characteristic of the poker card to a random selection among a plurality of poker card characteristics. Where the prediction is correct, the player may be awarded with enhanced payouts on current and/or future game plays, and in some embodiments concurrent correct predictions results in increasingly higher enhanced payouts.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus, system, computer readable storage media, and/or method that involve or otherwise facilitate a card game or secondary card game played on a gaming device. The card game may be structured to use similar rules to a blackjack-styled card game. The card game may be played against an opponent, such as a computer, dealer, or another player. Alternatively, the card game may include the display of one or more cards and a process to determine if a total value of the cards meets a predefined criterion. A win against an opponent or satisfaction of the predefined criterion may progress the card game to another round of play. These rounds of play may continue until an opponent wins, or until the predefined criterion is not satisfied.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses and methods for enhancing payouts in gaming activities. One or more payout modifiers may be presented in the game play area, where portions of the game play area identified by the one or more payout modifiers are made eligible for award enhancement for awards occurring on paylines or other pay areas that pass through or otherwise use the identified portions of the game play area that are currently eligible for the award enhancement. In various embodiments, the payout modifiers may identify different volumes of the portions of the game play area to be eligible for the award enhancement, and/or may move about the play area, and/or intersect to form new and potentially more lucrative payout modifiers.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for bonusing symbols in subsequent games of gaming devices based on a current game outcome. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to initiate and display a first gaming event on a game display of the gaming device. If one or more symbols appear as part of a predefined criterion, such as being part of a winning symbol combination, the one or more symbols may be associated with a modifier, such as a multiplier, in one or more subsequent gaming events.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses and methods for utilizing multi-mode symbols that interact with random game triggers to selectively activate gaming features. At least one multi-mode symbol is provided that includes at least first and second modes. When the multi-mode symbol is in the first mode, a first functionality is associated with the multi-mode symbol, such as its default symbol mode. In response to a trigger event involving the multi-mode symbol, the symbol is changed to exhibit the second mode, and a second symbol functionality is applied to the multi-mode symbol. Payouts are determined based on the first functionality of the multi-mode symbol when in the first mode, and based on the second functionality of the multi-mode symbol when in the second mode.
