Abstract
Gaming systems and methods that, upon an occurrence of a designated triggering event, provide an integrated primary and secondary games for play by a player.
Claims20
A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device storing a plurality of instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- responsive to a placement of a wager made, via an input device, cause a display, by a display device, of a play of a primary game, said play of the primary game comprising a random determination of a primary game outcome and a display, by the display device, of the determined primary game outcome;
- determine if the determined primary game outcome comprises a designated quantity of secondary game triggering symbols from a plurality of different secondary game triggering symbols, wherein the plurality of different secondary game triggering symbols are each associated with a different one of a plurality of triggering symbol awards;
- responsive to the determined primary game outcome comprising the designated quantity of secondary game triggering symbols:
- determine a primary game award based on the triggering symbol awards associated with the secondary game triggering symbols of the determined primary game outcome,
- cause a display, via the display device, of a play of a secondary game, the play of the secondary game comprising a random determination of a secondary game outcome and a display, by the display device, of the determined secondary game outcome, and
- responsive to determining that the determined secondary game outcome comprises a first modifier symbol associated with a first modifier, determine a secondary game award based on the triggering symbol awards associated with the secondary game triggering symbols of the determined primary game outcome and the first modifier associated with the first modifier symbol of the secondary game outcome;
- and
- cause a display, by the display device, of the determined primary game award and the determined secondary game award.

A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device storing a plurality of instructions, that when executed by the processor, responsive to a placement of a wager, cause the processor to:
- cause a display, by a first display device, of a play of a primary game, the play of the primary game comprising a displayed primary game outcome comprising a plurality of displayed secondary game triggering symbols that trigger a play of a secondary game, each of the plurality of secondary game triggering symbols comprising a displayed one of a plurality of different credit values;
- determine a primary game award based on the credit values associated with the displayed secondary game triggering symbols;
- cause a display, by a second display device, of a play of the secondary game, the play of the secondary game comprising a displayed outcome comprising an indicated first modifier symbol associated with a first modifier;
- determine a secondary game award based on the displayed modifier associated with the indicated modifier symbol and on the displayed credit values associated with the displayed secondary game triggering symbols of the displayed primary game outcome;
- and
- display, via the first display, the determined primary game award and the determined secondary game award.

A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
- receiving, via an input device, a wager on a play of a primary game by a player;
- responsive to receiving the wager, causing a display, by a display device, of a play of a primary game, said play of the primary game comprising a random determination of a primary game outcome and a display of the determined primary game outcome;
- determining if the determined primary game outcome comprises a designated quantity of secondary game triggering symbols from a plurality of different secondary game triggering symbols, wherein the plurality of different secondary game triggering symbols are each associated with a different one of a plurality of triggering symbol awards;
- responsive to the determined primary game outcome comprising the designated quantity of secondary game triggering symbols:
- determining a primary game award based on the triggering symbol awards associated with the secondary game triggering symbols of the determined primary game outcome;
- causing a display, via the display device, of a play of a secondary game, the play of the secondary game comprising a random determination of a secondary game outcome and a display, by the display device, of the determined secondary game outcome;
- responsive to determining that the determined secondary game outcome comprising a first modifier symbol associated with a first modifier, determining a secondary game award based on the triggering symbol awards associated with the secondary game triggering symbols of the determined primary game outcome and the first modifier associated with the first modifier symbol of the secondary game outcome;
- and
- causing a display, by the display device, of the determined primary game award and the determined secondary game award.
