A gaming device having a processor that selects symbols from a first set of reel strips for a plurality of columns of symbol positions, and from a second set of reel strips for a plurality of columns of symbol positions, and controls a display to display the symbols selected including displaying, at each symbol position for which a defined symbol is selected, the defined symbol with the symbol selected at a respective symbol position. Upon the symbols selected including a qualifier symbol, the processor randomly selects one of at least two different symbol replacements, and determines, using the symbol replacements, a replacement symbol for the defined symbol selected. The processor updates the plurality of symbols to incorporate the replacement symbol, and evaluates the updated plurality of symbols for winning symbol combinations.

The present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method performed by a gaming system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a scheme for further improving a randomness in a game provided by means of the gaming system. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding gaming system and a computer program product.

A slot game may assign a multiplier value to a stacked reel having an outcome including a stack of special symbols or wild symbols. The assigned multiplier value may be selected based on a random game outcome of preceding reels. The slot game may display the stacked reel with the assigned multiplier value or by replacing the stack of special symbols with a single symbol and the assigned multiplier value. The slot game may display a merged multiplier value over adjacent stacked reels, the merged multiplier value being the product of the assigned multiplier values for each of the adjacent stacked reels.

A networked computer system for displaying a game screen including a video stream of a live dealer to a remote computing device is described herein. The networked computer system includes a server computer coupled to a plurality of remote computing devices and including a processor programmed to execute an algorithm including the steps of receiving a video stream of a live dealer adjacent a physical gaming table, displaying a first game screen on a first remote computing device including the video stream of the live dealer and the physical gaming table and images of a first plurality of sidebets overlaid onto the physical gaming table, and displaying a second game screen on a second remote computing device including the video stream of the live dealer and the physical gaming table and images of a second plurality of sidebets overlaid onto the physical gaming table.

An electronic gaming machine includes a processor configured to control a display device to display a matrix of game positions, initiate a plurality of games, and control the display device to display each game of the plurality of games in an associated game position of the matrix of game positions. The processor is also configured to determine an outcome of each game, where each outcome is a qualifying outcome or a non-qualifying outcome, as well as to evaluate the matrix of game positions to determine whether a qualifying pattern is formed in the matrix by at least two qualifying outcomes. In response to the qualifying pattern being formed, the processor is also configured to provide an award to a player of the electronic gaming machine. Each outcome may be individually evaluated to provide one or more additional awards to the player as well.

Systems and methods which dynamically modify a rate of accruing gaming establishment points based on a gaming establishment occupancy.

A system and method for operating a game of chance. A gaming system includes a primary game display and secondary game display with the secondary game display mapped with prize blocks arranged in a grid that may generally mimic a primary game grid. The prize blocks can be represented as characters, articles, numeral values, symbols and the like. Each prize block is assigned a prize value and a health value. When the health value of a prize block is exhausted based on primary game outcomes, the prize block is destroyed and removed awarding its corresponding prize value. New prize blocks fill the void left by removed prize blocks or the void remains as a space without any assigned prize value. A bonus trigger model also serves to reduce “cold streaks” during which players may lose interest.

An electronic gaming system including a plurality of electronic gaming devices and a progressive controller in communication with the plurality of electronic gaming devices is described. The progressive controller causes display of a number of linked progressive free spins at each electronic gaming device of the plurality of electronic gaming devices and determines, during an electronic game, that a progressive symbol is displayed on a display device of at least one electronic gaming device of the plurality of electronic gaming devices. The progressive controller also causes the number of linked progressive free spins to be increased to an updated number of linked progressive free spins and, based upon the updated number of linked progressive free spins, causes display of the updated number of linked progressive free spins at each electronic gaming device of the plurality of electronic gaming devices.

There is provided a gaming system, gaming machine, and method that utilize an electronic display device configured to display a plurality of symbol-bearing reels and an indicator bearing a pay multiplier. For each spin outcome, the reels are spun and stopped to land symbols in an array. In response to the landed symbols including a catalyst symbol, the values on any value-bearing symbols in the array are multiplied by the pay multiplier and awarded, and the pay multiplier is then modified for a subsequent spin outcome(s) based on the type, e.g., color, of the catalyst symbol. In response to the landed symbols not including the catalyst symbol, no awards are provided for any value-bearing symbols in the array, and the pay multiplier stays the same for a subsequent spin outcome(s) until a catalyst symbol lands in the array.

Rather than typical slot type games where specific matching combinations of symbols along paylines through a row-by-column grid or matrix indicate the outcome of the game, a slot type concatenation game concatenates value symbols along a payline to form a numerical outcome. Non-value symbols may be omitted and/or ignored. Further, the payline may be indicated by the presence of a trigger symbol, which may allow the payline to change between different plays of the slot type concatenation game. Further, the slot type concatenation game may be user-configurable. Users may be allowed to indicate the number of the symbol reels that may include value symbols that will be concatenated along a payline defined by the trigger symbol. Users may be allowed indicate the denomination set that is used to configure the symbol reels with value symbols, such as from one or more value symbol tables.
