Three-dimensional spinning reel gaming system with toroidal design
The patent US12046102B2 describes a gaming system that integrates a server and a client device, featuring a unique toroidal-shaped reel for gameplay. The system operates by receiving two distinct rotations of the reel based on random events generated by a random number generator. The first rotation occurs along the surface of the toroidal reel, while the second rotation is orthogonal to the first. The client device is programmed to display vertically-sequenced symbols that rotate along the reel and horizontally-sequenced symbols that rotate around its surface. The toroidal reel is characterized by a polygonal cross-section, and the system allows for various animations, including the spinning of symbols and the display of winning outcomes.
Additionally, the claims outline methods for enhancing gameplay, such as displaying multiple horizontally-sequenced symbols corresponding to vertically-sequenced symbols and animating bonuses when identical symbols appear adjacently. The system can include multiple toroidal reels, with the ability to animate their spinning and stopping in a coordinated manner. The instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium facilitate these operations, ensuring that the client device can effectively manage the display and animation of symbols based on the received rotations. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for a dynamic and visually engaging gaming experience utilizing advanced reel mechanics.
