ELECTRONIC GAME SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH A METAMORPHIC FEATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029502 titled 'ELECTRONIC GAME SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH A METAMORPHIC FEATURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic gaming machine (EGM) that uses a feature symbol set and multiple reel sets. Each feature symbol has an inactive and activated state, and each reel set includes reels that use activated feature symbols. The EGM identifies a selected reel set with activated feature symbols and initiates a spin. If at least one activated symbol appears on each of the first and second reels, a feature is triggered, causing overlay symbols with prize identifiers to be overlaid onto a play area. The EGM stops the spinning of the other reels, evaluates the outcome of the spin with overlay symbols, and awards a prize indicated by the prize identifier.

  • The EGM uses a feature symbol set and multiple reel sets.
  • Each feature symbol has an inactive and activated state.
  • Reel sets include reels that use activated feature symbols.
  • The EGM identifies a selected reel set with activated feature symbols and initiates a spin.
  • If specific conditions are met, a feature is triggered, overlaying symbols with prize identifiers onto the play area.
  • The EGM stops the spinning of other reels and evaluates the outcome of the spin with overlay symbols.
  • A prize is awarded based on the evaluation.

Potential Applications

  • Casino gaming machines
  • Online gambling platforms
  • Amusement arcades

Problems Solved

  • Enhances the gaming experience by introducing activated feature symbols and overlay symbols with prize identifiers.
  • Provides additional excitement and potential for winning prizes.

Benefits

  • Increased engagement and entertainment value for players.
  • Offers the opportunity for players to win additional prizes through the overlay symbols.
  • Adds variety and innovation to electronic gaming machines.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic gaming machine (egm) that uses a feature symbol set and plurality of reel sets, where each feature symbol defines an inactive feature symbol and an activated feature symbol, and where each reel set includes reels that use an activated feature symbol. the egm identifies a selected reel set that includes an activated feature symbol and initiates a spin. the egm cause first and second reels to stop spinning and, in response to determining that at least one first activated symbol appears on each of the first and second reels, triggers a feature causing one or more overlay symbols with prize identifiers to be overlaid onto a play area. the egm stop the spinning of the other reels, evaluates an outcome of the spin that includes at least one overlay symbol with an associated prize identifier, and awards a prize indicated by the prize identifier based on the evaluation.
