A computer implemented method performed by a gaming system adapted to execute a series of consecutive games, the gaming system comprising a server arranged in communication with an electronic user device using a network connection, the electronic user device comprising a display screen and being adapted to present a graphical user interface (GUI) at the display screen, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- forming, at the server, a table having a predetermined dimension and comprising a plurality of cells,
- generating, at the server, a first set of elements arranged to completely populate all of the plurality of cells of the table, each generated element being one of a plurality of predefined element types, wherein the first set of elements comprises at least one extended element arranged to populate a first predefined number of cells of the table, the predefined number of cells being two or more and preferably at least four cells,
- populating, at the server, the plurality of cells of the table with the first set of elements,
- controlling, using the server, the electronic user device to display the table at the display screen,
- identifying, at the server, a cluster of cells of the table being populated with matching elements,
- forming, at the server, a gaming outcome based on a successful matching of the identified cluster of cells with a plurality of predefined cluster formations,
- forming, at the server, a graphical representation of at least one of the table or the gaming outcome,
- distributing, from the server and to the electronic user device, the graphical representation,
- controlling, using the server, the electronic user device to display the gaming outcome at the display screen,
- wherein:
- the extended element influences the first gaming outcome based on its size, a number assigned to the extended element, a multiplication factor assigned to the extended elements or a combination thereof.
A gaming system comprising a server arranged in communication with an electronic user device using a network connection, the electronic user device comprising a display screen and being adapted to present a graphical user interface (GUI) at the display screen, wherein the server is adapted to:
- form a table having a predetermined dimension and comprising a plurality of cells,
- generate a first set of elements arranged to completely populate all of the plurality of cells of the table, each generated element being one of a plurality of predefined element types, wherein the first set of elements comprises at least one extended element arranged to populate a first predefined number of cells of the table, the predefined number of cells being two or more, preferably at least four cells,
- populate the plurality of cells of the table with the first set of elements,
- control the electronic user device to display the table at the display screen,
- identify a cluster of cells of the table being populated with matching elements,
- form a gaming outcome based on a successful matching of the identified cluster of cells with a plurality of predefined cluster formations,
- form a graphical representation of at least one of the table or the gaming outcome,
- distribute, to the electronic user device, the graphical representation,
- control the electronic user device to display the gaming outcome at the display screen,
- wherein:
- the extended element influences the first gaming outcome based on its size, a number assigned to the extended element, a multiplication factor assigned to the extended elements or a combination thereof.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer program means for operating a gaming system, the gaming system comprising a server arranged in communication with an electronic user device using a network connection, the electronic user device comprising a display screen and being adapted to present a graphical user interface (GUI) at the display screen, wherein the computer program product comprises:
- code for forming, at the server, a table having a predetermined dimension and comprising a plurality of cells,
- code for generating, at the server, a first set of elements arranged to completely populate all of the plurality of cells of the table, each generated element being one of a plurality of predefined element types, wherein the first set of elements comprises at least one extended element arranged to populate a first predefined number of cells of the table, the predefined number of cells being two or more, preferably at least four cells,
- code for populating, at the server, the plurality of cells of the table with the first set of elements,
- code for controlling, using the server, the electronic user device to display the table at the display screen,
- code for identifying, at the server, a cluster of cells of the table being populated with matching elements,
- code for forming, at the server, a gaming outcome based on a successful matching of the identified cluster of cells with a plurality of predefined cluster formations,
- code for forming, at the server, a graphical representation of at least one of the table or the gaming outcome,
- code for distributing, from the server and to the electronic user device, the graphical representation,
- code for controlling, using the server, the electronic user device to display the gaming outcome at the display screen,
- wherein:
- the extended element influences the first gaming outcome based on its size, a number assigned to the extended element, a multiplication factor assigned to the extended elements or a combination thereof.
