Abstract
Gaming systems and methods that provide sheet music employed for symbol generation and display and player inputs in gaming environments.
Claims15
A gaming system comprising:
- a housing comprising an access door;
- a security monitoring circuit supported by the housing, that monitors the access door, and that causes a signal to be sent to a remote server when the access door is opened;
- a plurality of output devices comprising a display device supported by the housing;
- a plurality of input devices comprising:
- a plurality of input buttons mounted on a deck supported by the housing and a touch screen input device supported by the housing and operable with the display device;
- a processor supported by the housing;
- and
- a trusted memory device supported by the housing and configured to provide a gaming regulatory authority a root trusted authority that can be tracked and verified as original, the trusted memory device storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause a display, by the display device, of indications of different instruments,
- receive, via one of the input devices, a player selection of one of the different instruments, and cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a player selected instrument,
- cause a display, by the display device, of sheet music associated with the player selected instrument,
- randomly select, via a random number generator, one of different sections of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument,
- cause a display, by the display device, of components from the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument,
- determine a mapping of the components from the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument to generate a plurality of symbols for display on a plurality of reels,
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of the plurality of symbols based on the components of the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument on the plurality of reels such that the random selection of the section of the sheet music and the components of the randomly selected section of the sheet music determine the displayed symbols on the reels and thus an outcome comprising the plurality of symbols displayed on the plurality of reels.

- determine a mapping of the components from the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument to generate a plurality of symbols for display on reels,
- cause a display, by the display device, of indications of the generated plurality of symbols on the reels based on the determined mappings of the components of the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument on the reels,
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of an accuracy of player inputs associated with the player selected instrument and the components of the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument, and
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a first paytable from of a plurality of different paytables based on the accuracy of the player inputs associated with the player selected instrument and the components of the randomly selected section of the sheet music associated with the player selected instrument, such that the first paytable, the random selection of the section of the sheet music and the components of the randomly selected section of the sheet music determine an award based on an outcome comprising the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels.
