Enhancing a user interface of a computer-implemented game to generate slot-machine-style pay lines

A method comprising:

• incorporating one or more modules for enhancing a user interface into one or more computer memories, the one or more one or more modules configuring one or more computer processors to perform operations for enhancing a user interface of a game with slot-machine-like payout lines, the operations comprising, at a game server:
• receiving a collection of game boards, each of the game boards including a definition of a layout of pins and an association between one or more of the pins and one or more symbols;
• communicating a first game board of the collection of game boards to the game client as an initial game board;
• receiving an outcome from the game client;
• selecting a second game board from the collection of game boards based on a return-to-player value calculated from the outcome;
• and
• communicating the second game board of the collection of game boards to the game client;
• and
• the operations further comprising, at a game client:
• receiving the initial game board from the game server;
• presenting the initial game board in a user interface;
• in response to a detecting of an activation action, depicting one or more events on the initial game board;
• determining an outcome based on an order or combination of the one or more symbols that were implicated in the one or more events;
• communicating the outcome to the server;
• receiving the second game board from the server;
• and
• presenting the second game board in the user interface.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations for enhancing a user interface of a game with slot-machine-like payout lines, the operations comprising, at a game server:

• receiving a collection of game boards, each of the game boards including a definition of a layout of pins and an association between one or more of the pins and one or more symbols;
• communicating a first game board of the collection of game boards to the game client as an initial game board,
• receiving an outcome from the game client;
• selecting a second game board from the collection of game boards based on a return-to-player value calculated from the outcome;
• and
• communicating the second game board of the collection of game boards to the game client;
• and
• the operations further comprising, at a game client;
• receiving the initial game board from the game server;
• presenting the initial game board in a user interface;
• in response to a detecting of an activation action, depicting one or more events on the initial game board;
• determining an outcome based on an order or combination of the one or more symbols that were implicated in the one or more events;
• communicating the outcome to the server;
• receiving the second game board from the server;
• and
• presenting the second game board in the user interface.
