摘要： A movable box, indicator, or other area-based selector may determine whether a game instance generates a payout to a player (e.g., the player “wins”). Thus, the selector may be used to control either or both of a return to player (“RTP”) or volatility. The selector may change its position between games or during a game, such as while values for one or more positions on a playing field are undetermined, move (e.g., change its position) in a random or semi-random fashion, change its size between games or during a game, such that it encompasses more or fewer positions on the playing field than during the previous game, or be used to control either or both of a gaming device's RTP or volatility. The selector's position, size, or the like may vary between games to ensure that the gaming device's RTP and/or volatility remain within acceptable ranges.

摘要： Various implementations of a method and apparatus may include executing a play of a game on the game device. Implementations may include detecting a game action event during the play of the game. Implementations may also include deducting a game action fee from a player's credit account based on the game action event during the play of the game. Implementations may also include determining a wager portion of the game action fee. Implementations may also include determining a game fund portion of the game action fee. Implementations may also include storing the game fund portion in a game fund account associated with the player. Implementations may also include determining a game fund award from the game fund account. Implementations may also include modifying the play of the game based on the game fund award.
