ELECTRONIC GAMING SYSTEMS AND METHODS HAVING OUTCOMES RANDOMLY SELECTED FROM MULTIPLE SETS OF WINNING SYMBOL COMBINATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957482 titled 'ELECTRONIC GAMING SYSTEMS AND METHODS HAVING OUTCOMES RANDOMLY SELECTED FROM MULTIPLE SETS OF WINNING SYMBOL COMBINATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic gaming system that includes a processor executing instructions to initiate a reel game with special symbols that determine winning combinations.
- Electronic gaming system with processor and memory.
- Instructions initiate reel game with special symbols for winning combinations.
- Special symbols have different probabilities and pay evaluations.
- Outcome of reel game is displayed and evaluated by the processor.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various electronic gaming systems, such as slot machines, online casino games, and mobile gaming apps.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of providing a dynamic and engaging gaming experience by introducing special symbols with different probabilities and pay evaluations, increasing the excitement and potential rewards for players.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced gameplay features, increased player engagement, and the potential for higher payouts due to the unique special symbols and pay evaluations.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include the development of new electronic gaming products for casinos, online gaming platforms, and mobile gaming apps that can attract and retain players with innovative gameplay mechanics.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional slot machines with fixed symbol sets and pay evaluations, which do not offer the dynamic and varied gameplay experience provided by the special symbols in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the processor select the special symbols with different probabilities?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the process by which the processor selects the special symbols with varying probabilities. Further information on the algorithm or mechanism used for this selection would be helpful.
What is the impact of the special symbols on player engagement and retention?
While the abstract mentions that the special symbols enhance gameplay features, it does not discuss the potential impact of these symbols on player engagement and retention. Understanding how these special symbols affect player behavior could provide valuable insights for game developers.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic gaming system includes a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to initiate a reel game that uses a set of reels having a set of reel strips, and select a special symbol that is included in the set of reel strips from a plurality of special symbols including a first set of special symbols associated with a first pay evaluation and a second set of special symbols associated with a second pay evaluation that determines a greater number of winning symbol combinations than the first pay evaluation. Special symbols of the first set have a greater probability of being selected than special symbols of the second set. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processor to cause display of an outcome of the reel game and evaluate the outcome of the reel game.
