In various embodiments a single reel on a gaming device contains multiple symbols.

A gaming system is described comprising a playing surface having a game wager placement area having markings thereon for identification and placement of wagers entered by a player, the game wager placement area defining a plurality of locations, each such location indicating one of a set of standard available wagers associated with an outcome of the game outcome generator; a game outcome area including a game outcome generator configured to determine and show one of a plurality of chance game outcomes; a plurality of tokens each having a nominal value, each such token being placeable onto a selected location on the game wager placement area, thereby to constitute placement one of the set of standard available wagers; whereby wagers may be placed according to a set of predefined wagering rules associated with the said plurality of locations; a feature entry outcome generator configured to determine, for each game event having a pre-determined wagered amount, a choice between at least a first outcome with a feature entry probability and a second outcome. The gaming system is set up such that in the event of the first outcome the game outcome generator is caused to determine and show one of the plurality of chance game outcomes and wagers placed by a player are settled based on the nominal value of each placed token in accordance with the set of predefined wagering rules; in the event of the second outcome the pre-determined wagered amount is lost; the feature entry probability is determined by a calculation that takes account of the ratio of the pre-determined wagered amount to the total nominal value of each placed token. A gaming method is also described. The game is for example roulette.

A tilt detection system including a roulette wheel, at least one inclination sensor positioned on or within a rim of the roulette wheel, and a display module comprising a plurality of light outputs. The tilt detection system can obtain positional data during operation of the roulette wheel and determine tilt data indicative of the roulette wheel's position relative to a baseline indicative of a leveled state. A roulette wheel tilt status, e.g., level, warning, and error, may be determined based on the tilt data, and a display module can activate the plurality of light outputs based on the tilt status. Two or more stepper motors may lever the roulette wheel in response to the tilt status.

A roulette table allows players to make customized betting selections and customize the layout of the betting options that appear on the player station of the roulette table. In particularly contemplated embodiments, players may add, delete, or modify the appearance of betting options through a user interface so that the players may more readily indicate desired wagers. This functionality may not only speed up game play, but also make the betting layout more intuitive for each user resulting in increased attendance of roulette games.

A roulette wheel reading apparatus is provided for triangulating a roulette ball position in a pocket of a roulette wheel. The apparatus comprises: a triangulation sensor, a roulette wheel position sensor, and a processor; wherein the triangulation sensor comprises: a first signal emitter arranged to emit a first signal toward a location within a pocket of a roulette wheel comprising a plurality of roulette wheel pockets; and a second signal emitter arranged to emit a second signal toward the location; wherein the triangulation sensor further comprises: a signal receiver positioned to receive a first reflection of the first signal at a first receipt time and arranged to output the first receipt time, the signal receiver being further positioned to receive a second reflection of the second signal at a second receipt time and arranged to output the second receipt time; wherein the first reflection and the second reflection originate from said roulette ball; the roulette wheel position sensor being arranged to detect and output a position of one or more of the plurality of roulette wheel pockets relative to the location; the processor being arranged to: receive the first receipt time, the second receipt time and the position; calculate a time difference between the first receipt time and the second receipt time; identify that the time difference is within a predetermined time difference threshold; identify, using the position, the pocket of the roulette wheel; and output the pocket of the roulette wheel as a roulette result. The apparatus of the present invention aims to accurately and reliably identify cessation of a roulette ball in a roulette wheel pocket for the purpose of informing the reporting of a winning roulette result.

A method and system for selecting new interactive content titles for users is disclosed. A plurality of user profiles is stored in memory. Each user profile including one or more preferences and historic gameplay data associated with a user associated with the user profile. A request to select a new interactive content title for the user over a communication network from a client device associated with the user profile is received. At least one of a plurality of available interactive content titles that are not associated with the historic gameplay data is selected. The at least one interactive content titles is selected from a subset of the available interactive content titles that correspond to one or more of the preferences in the stored user profile of the user.

A gaming system, device and method are disclosed herein. The system, in an embodiment, involves one or more data storage devices programmed to cause one or more processors to receive an input from a player. The input is related to a game. Such one or more processors are operable to cat n output device to display a plurality of grid spaces. The grid spaces include at least one player grid space associated with the player, and the grid spaces include at least one non-player grid space that is unassociated with the player. The one or more processors are also operable to determine at least one of the grid spaces. The game provides the opportunity for a primary winning outcome elated to the determined grid space and a secondary winning outcome related to a secondary winning condition.
