    摘要: A gaming system for conducting a wagering game includes a wager input device, a display for displaying a randomly selected outcome of a wagering game, and a controller operatively coupled to the display and the wager input device to operate in a plurality of selectable game modes of which a selected one is a current game mode. The display has an array of reel strips. Each of the selectable game modes is respectively associated with a subset of the reel strips of the array. A first game mode of the plurality of selectable game modes has at least one reel strip that differs from at least one reel strip of a second game mode of the plurality of selectable game modes. The second game mode has at least one reel strip that differs from at least one reel strip of the first game mode. The controller is operative to cause the display to selectively conceal all of the reel strips other than that subset of the reel strips associated with the current game mode, for example, by causing movement of a reel window or reel strips with respect to the other, or by adjusting the opacity of one or more controllable-opacity segments.

    摘要: This disclosure is directed to techniques for presenting a scratch-card style interface using a touch-sensitive device. The touch-sensitive device is configured to present a first image using a display of the device. The first image may include a plurality of portions. The plurality of portions may be a plurality of overlapping image particles, or may be a plurality of image layers. The device may detect a first user interaction, and graphically remove a first number of portions of the first image in response to detection of the first user interaction. The device may detect a second user interaction, and graphically remove a second number of portions of the first image in response to the detected second user interaction. Graphical removal of the second number of portions may at least partially reveal a second image presented using the display of the device.

    摘要: Some techniques feature a computer-implemented method for messages associated with a user location. The method involves determining, by a mobile computing device, an estimated geographic location of the mobile computing device. The method includes receiving, at the mobile computing device, one or more messages associated with an area within the estimated geographic location, where the one or more messages include messages posted by users of a system that associates messages that those users posted about the area within the estimated geographic location. The method involves providing, on a display of the mobile computing device, one or more posted message icons that are presented in a layer over a map, where the one or more posted message icons represent the one or more posted messages. In a system, the one or more posted messages may not appear on mobile devices after a predetermined amount of time from their respective postings.
