Bonus games with multiple award classes in gaming systems
The patent US12067847B2 outlines a method for providing a wagering game on an electronic gaming system, which includes a game controller and one or more displays. The method involves displaying a first bonus game that features a construct with multiple stop positions, each linked to either first awards (such as jackpots) or second awards (non-jackpot prizes). The game controller receives trigger events and selects stop positions based on these events. Notably, it allows for the reassignment of a second award to a first award in response to specific trigger events, enhancing the gaming experience by potentially increasing the value of the awards players can receive.
Additionally, the patent details various types of awards, including fixed credit amounts, multipliers, and free plays, as well as the mechanics of updating graphical indicators associated with the awards. The system is designed to maintain the associations of awards during gameplay and allows for different probabilities of selection based on player wagers. The claims also specify that the gaming system can include various constructs, such as wheels or grids, and outlines the functionality of the game controller in managing the game flow and award distribution. This innovative approach aims to create a more engaging and rewarding experience for players in electronic gaming environments.
