A gaming system that provides a player symbol set selection feature including a plurality of simultaneously displayed separate player selectable symbol sets for a play of a game. For the play of the game, enables the player to select one of the displayed symbol sets and after the player selection, the gaming system determines and causes each of the symbol sets (including the player selected symbol set and the other non-player selected symbol sets) to display a separate randomly determined outcome for that symbol set for that play of the game. The gaming system provides the player any determined awards for the player selected symbol set and additionally compares any determined awards for the player selected symbol set and any determined awards for the other (non-player selected) symbol sets for that play of the game. Based on that comparison, the gaming system can provide the player one or more comparison awards.

An electronic gaming device includes a display device configured to display an electronic game that includes a dynamic wheel feature, a storage device storing a weighted table for the dynamic wheel feature, a processor programmed to: activate the dynamic wheel feature including displaying a wheel where each wheel section identifies an award; display an initial spin of the wheel; provide an initial award value by identifying a first entry in the weighted table indicating an initial award value; remove wheel sections from the displayed wheel that have award values that are less than or equal to the initial award value; perform a second spin of the wheel; and provide a second award value by identifying a second entry in the weighted table based on the third random number and which has an associated award value that is greater than the initial award value.

A method includes storing multiple bet configurations for a gaming machine. Each bet configuration specifies a respective pay table and a set of bet levels including a minimum bet level. A payout percentage may be selected for each bet level. The pay tables each include a number N of prize levels and each prize level corresponding to a respective numerical prize value for a win on the gaming machine while the corresponding bet configuration is in an active state at the gaming machine. The minimum bets for the different bet configurations are unequal and are related by a translation ratio. The different numerical prize values for the different bet configurations are also related by that same translating ratio. A bet configuration may be placed in the active state at a gaming machine and plays are then resolved according to the bet configuration in the active state.

A gaming machine includes an electronic display device configured to display an array of symbol positions and registers. The registers are associated with respective subsets of one or more of the symbol positions of the array. Game-logic circuitry directs the display device to animate a plurality of spins of symbol-bearing reels wherein, in each spin, the reels are spun and stopped to land symbols in the array. The plurality of symbols include value-bearing symbols, redemption symbols, and reset symbols. For each landed value-bearing symbol, the symbol value is added to the applicable register. In response to accumulating a predetermined number of the redemption symbols in a subset, the value in that subset's register is awarded. In response to the reset symbol landing in a subset, the value in that subset's register is reset.

A system, method, and gaming machine dynamically increases a number of paylines in a reel-based wagering game is provided. The system, method, and gaming machine provides a gaming device having a game display configured to display at least a portion of game reels of the reel-based wagering game, a controller programed to display, on the game display, a plurality of game reels and a multiplier reel, wherein the controller dynamically increases the number of paylines per stop on the game reels on a given spin of the game reels by the multiplier reel.
