    摘要: A gaming system includes a main display configured to display a wagering game comprising a plurality of virtual spinnable reels having a plurality of adjacent game symbol positions. A game controller is communicatively coupled to the display, and a computer-readable storage medium. The game controller is configured to initiate a first round of play of a base game causing a simulated spinning of the spinnable reels, change the base game to a metamorphic reel game based on a triggering condition of a special symbol landing on a stopped reel. At least one morphed reel is created from at least two of the spinnable reels. At least one reel is replaced with the morphed reel in the metamorphic reel game. A game outcome is determined based on paytable and a reduced number of reels that includes the morphed reel. Credit is awarded to the player based on the game outcome.

    摘要: An electronic gaming system includes a progressive system server configured to establish a tiered plurality of progressive jackpots that includes a first jackpot increasable a first cap value, a second jackpot increasable to a second cap value greater than the first cap value, and at least one intermediate jackpot increasable to at least one intermediate cap value greater than the first cap value and less than the second cap value. The progressive system server is further configured to allocate portions of player wagers to one of i) the first jackpot, ii) the at least one intermediate jackpot, and iii) the second jackpot, whereby the first jackpot is initially incrementally increased to the first cap value, the at least one intermediate jackpot is next incrementally increased to the at least one intermediate cap value, and the second jackpot is next incrementally increased to the second cap value.

    摘要: An electronic gaming machine performs operations comprising: (i) simulating a rotating plurality of reels, each reel of the simulated rotating plurality of reels comprising a plurality of symbols including standard symbols and bonus trigger symbols; (ii) stopping a first reel of the simulated rotating plurality of reels, wherein the first reel displays a first plurality of symbols; (iii) determining whether of the first plurality of symbols displayed include i) all standard symbols, or ii) at least one bonus trigger symbol; (iv) on at least one remaining reel of the simulated rotating reels one of: i) modifying at least one bonus trigger symbol with a standard symbol if all standard symbols are displayed, or ii) modifying the at least one standard symbol with at least one bonus trigger symbol; (v) stopping the remaining reels of the simulated rotating plurality of reels, wherein the remaining reels display a plurality of symbols; (vi) evaluating the symbols stopped and displayed from each of the simulated rotating plurality of reels; and (vii) determining, based upon the evaluating, whether to provide a game award.
