GAMING SYSTEM WITH SYMBOL-DRIVEN APPROACH TO RANDOMLY-SELECTED TRIGGER VALUE FOR FEATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240273968 titled 'GAMING SYSTEM WITH SYMBOL-DRIVEN APPROACH TO RANDOMLY-SELECTED TRIGGER VALUE FOR FEATURE

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a gaming system that randomly selects a trigger value for a feature to start when the current value of a symbol counter reaches the trigger value. The system includes memory storing data defining reel strips, with symbols selected from these strips for display. The trigger value is randomly selected within a range between an initial value and a ceiling value, and the feature is started when the symbol counter reaches the trigger value.

  • Key Features and Innovation:
   - Random selection of trigger value for feature activation.
   - Memory storing data defining reel strips.
   - Incrementing symbol counter based on designated symbols.
   - Starting a feature when the symbol counter reaches the trigger value.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various gaming systems, particularly in slot machines and other casino games where features are triggered based on symbol counters.

Problems Solved: This technology provides a more dynamic and engaging gaming experience by introducing random trigger values for features, adding an element of unpredictability and excitement for players.

Benefits: - Enhanced gaming experience with random feature activations. - Increased player engagement and excitement. - Improved replay value of games.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include the development of innovative slot machines and casino games that offer unique and engaging features based on random trigger values.

Questions about Gaming System Technology: 1. How does the random selection of trigger values enhance the gaming experience? 2. What are the advantages of using memory to store data defining reel strips in a gaming system?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in gaming technology and how random trigger values are being implemented in new gaming systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a gaming system randomly selects a trigger value for a feature, which starts when the current value of a symbol counter reaches the trigger value. in some examples, a gaming system includes memory that stores data defining reel strips. when a symbol counter is initialized, an initial value of the symbol counter is randomly selected from a range of allowable initial values having an upper limit. a trigger value is randomly selected from a range between the initial value and a ceiling value, which is greater than the upper limit. for each of one or more instances, symbols are selected from the reel strips for display, and the current value of the symbol counter is incremented based on the count of designated symbols, if any, among the selected symbols. responsive to the current value of the symbol counter reaching the trigger value, the feature is started.
