摘要： A method includes receiving one or more primary game inputs at a gaming machine, each primary game input defining a wager for a respective play of a primary game presented through the gaming machine and also initiating the respective play of the primary game. Each qualifying wager in the primary game offered through the gaming machine is applied in a predefined fashion toward an entry fee in one or more gaming machine tournaments. Ultimately, the value of the tournament entry fee account may reach a first level which is predefined as a level required for participation in a tournament. Once this level has been reached, the method includes enabling the affected player to participate in the tournament. Thus the player need not stop play of the wagering game to pay any entry fee which may be required for participation in a tournament game.

摘要： A method for controlling contributions to a progressive prize pool includes randomly determining whether a progressive pool growth event is triggered for the given play input in a wagering game. Where it is determined that a progressive pool growth event is triggered, the contribution amount is determined and the progressive pool is increased by this contribution amount. Where multiple progressive pools are maintained in a system, additional steps are taken to identify which pool or pools are to be increased when a progressive pool growth event is triggered.

摘要： A method includes maintaining a progressive pool value at a progressive prize meter in a progressive gaming system and, in response to the receipt of a qualifying game play input, conducting a round of a wagering game. An award value for a progressive prize in the progressive gaming system is identified from a set containing a number of different potential award values. In response to a progressive prize triggering event for the round of the wagering game, the progressive prize is awarded and a deduction is taken from the progressive pool value. The value of the progressive prize is equal to the award value identified from the set containing different potential award values.

摘要： A novel game is provided that transforms at least a part of the graphic symbol matrix shown on a video-based reel-type gaming machine to change the game operation from multi-symbol reels to single-symbol reels. Methods, apparatus and program products for implementing the game are provided. A preferred game operates in a first display matrix state displaying a symbol matrix. The symbol matrix provides a game play result by displaying two or more reel representations that combine to form the symbol matrix. In response to a trigger event in game play, the game switches to a second display matrix state where it is modified to show single-symbol reel representations with separating elements between at least one pair of adjacent symbols of a respective reel representation. Multiple sets of data structures are provided for operation in each display state.

摘要： A slot game includes a secondary game which upon being triggered displays an initial set of selectable symbols arranged on a touchscreen display at the gaming device, the player being provided ability to make selections from the selectable symbols until all selectable symbols have been selected, each selectable symbol corresponding to an associated benefit which is one of an award, an award enhancer, or one or more additional selectable symbols. If an option is picked revealing additional selectable symbols, the game adds more picks having associated benefit like those of the initial set and the player keeps selecting. The game may also have a “game pick” in which it removes one or more of the remaining unselected choices without awarding an associated benefit.

摘要： A gaming system includes a video gaming system and one or more video monitors operatively connected to receive a game video signal. A wager input device is also included in the system and configured to receive a wager on a potential result in the video game. An image evaluation processing system is connected to receive the game video signal and is configured to evaluate the game video signal to identify a result in the game. The wager resolution system is connected to the image evaluation processing system and to the wager input device, and is configured to receive the wager and the result identified by the image evaluation processing system, and to resolve the wager based at least in part on that identified result.

摘要： A display system of a gaming machine to is controlled display a symbol array including an array area a control play of a game. During the play, game symbol locations are populated in the array area selected from a game symbol set which includes at least a first trigger symbol and a second trigger symbol. Responsive to a winning condition including a predetermined positive number of trigger symbols comprising zero or more of the first trigger symbols and zero or more of the second trigger symbols, a jackpot win round is performed including (i) based on the numbers of first or second trigger symbols in the winning condition, selecting a set of the jackpot prize indicators, and (ii) randomly selecting a jackpot prize indicator from the selected set and awarding an associated jackpot prize for the play at the gaming machine.

摘要： An accent light system for a gaming machine includes an accent light arrangement having a number of LED panels assembled in one of a number of possible configurations. An electronic controller is coupled through a data communication interface to the accent light arrangement. The electronic controller is configured to transmit a signal to LED drivers of the number of LED panels, receive a loop-back signal transmitted from a final one of the LED panels, and, based on timing of the received loop-back signal, identify the configuration of the number of LED panels from the number of possible configurations.

摘要： A method includes displaying a first level game symbol array and a second level game symbol array through a display system of a reel-type gaming machine. The first level game symbol array is produced by populating at least some game symbol locations included in an initial array of game symbol locations. Any such populated location may be populated with a first trigger symbol including a representation of a single-symbol reel. The second level game symbol array is displayed by, for each respective game symbol location populated with the first trigger symbol in the first level game symbol array, conducting a respective single-symbol reel spin simulation of the representation of the single-symbol reel. A bonus play is displayed through the gaming machine at least in part in response to a predefined number of second trigger symbols being included in the second level game symbol array.

摘要： A display mounting system includes first and second base supports, a lateral support system, and display module hanger brackets. The lateral support system includes a first lateral support element and second lateral support element and is adapted to be placed in a display module receiving configuration in which the lateral support system is connected to the first and second base supports in a supporting configuration. Each display module hanger bracket has a respective hanger structure and a respective stabilizing structure. When one of the display module hanger brackets is placed in an installed position on the lateral support system, the hanger structure of that respective display module hanger bracket is supported along a height axis by the first lateral support element while the stabilizing structure of the display module hanger bracket cooperates with the second lateral support element to position the stabilizing structure relative to the second lateral support element.
