GAMING MACHINE AND METHOD WITH PERSISTENCE FEATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240273976 titled 'GAMING MACHINE AND METHOD WITH PERSISTENCE FEATURE

The abstract of a patent application describes a gaming system that includes a gaming machine and game-logic circuitry. The gaming machine has an electronic display device that shows an array of symbol positions. The game-logic circuitry is responsible for spinning and stopping symbol-bearing reels to land first value-bearing symbols, animating the array to mark the positions where these symbols land, spinning the reels again to land a second value-bearing symbol in one of the marked positions, awarding an award based on the second value-bearing symbol, and then animating the array to remove the marks from the positions where symbols landed.

  • Spinning and stopping reels to land value-bearing symbols
  • Animating the array to mark symbol positions
  • Awarding prizes based on the symbols landed
  • Removing marks from symbol positions
  • Utilizing game-logic circuitry for gameplay operations
