摘要： A gaming system performs a wagering game by determining an outcome, based at least in part, on one or more random elements. The wagering game uses a plurality of symbol bearing reels that includes at least one adjustable reel having an adjustable reel strip with one or more adjusting symbol positions thereon. When a wagering game is initiated and while the symbol bearing reels are spinning, a series of symbols are sequentially displayed by the adjustable reels at the adjusting symbol positions. The symbols may optionally increase in value as displayed to enhance player anticipation. The number and location of adjustable reels, the number and location of adjusting symbol positions on each adjustable reel, and the symbols displayed at the adjusting symbol positions may be randomly or statically determined. During the wagering game, the order of display of the series of symbols at the adjusting symbol locations may be random or based on previously displayed symbols.

摘要： A gaming system includes one or more input devices, display devices, processors, and memory devices. At least one of the memory devices store instructions that cause the system to receive a wager and to display a main array with main positions including a special position, which is randomly transformed into a sub-array with secondary positions. An outcome for the sub-array is determined in which the secondary positions are populated with respective secondary symbols. The outcome of the sub-array determines a special symbol that is associated with the special position of the main array. The special symbol is displayed for the special position. The main positions are populated with main symbols and the special symbol, the main array including may symbols populating the main positions and any determined special symbols populating the transformed special positions. An evaluation of the main array is performed to determine if a winning combination is achieved.

摘要： A method of conducting a wagering game includes receiving a first wager amount from a player. The first wager amount initiating a first play of the wagering game. The first wager amount is deducted from an available-credits pool. An outcome of the first play is determined. In response to the outcome of the first play being a winning outcome, a credit amount associated with the winning outcome is added to the available-credits pool. Prior to a second play of the wagering game, it is determined that the available-credits pool is less than the first wager amount and, in response to that determination, an option to risk the available-credits pool is provided. The result of the risk being either (i) a triggering of the second play of the wagering game at the first wager amount or (ii) a reduction of the available-credits pool to zero.

摘要： A gaming system includes a handheld device coupled to a fixed structure. The handheld device includes a sensor configured to detect inputs. The handheld device is positionable in a base predefined zone and a first predefined zone. The base predefined zone is defined as a base volumetric space and the first predefined zone is defined as a first volumetric space. A memory device stores instructions that, when executed, by at least one of one or more processors of the gaming system, cause the gaming system to (i) detect a first input from the handheld device, (ii) perform a first function in response to the first input being detected in the base predefined zone, and (iii) perform a second function in response to the first input being detected in the first predefined zone, the second function being different from the first function.
