Abstract
A gaming device method and apparatus are disclosed, and are accomplished by a slot machine that includes one, or a plurality of primary pay lines, as well as one or a plurality of secondary pay lines, wherein symbols occurring at the primary pay lines during a plurality of independent spins are mapped into the secondary pay lines.
Claims21
In a gaming device that includes at least one primary pay line, means to provide at least one secondary pay line that is populated by symbols occurring at a primary pay line during a plurality of independent spins.
In a gaming device that includes at least one primary pay line, and employs a microprocessor with a computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program to control the operation of the device, a computer program segment that maps symbols occurring at a primary pay line, during a plurality of spins, into at least one secondary pay line.
A gaming device comprising:
- a housing,
- a plurality of rotating reels,
- a microprocessor with a computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program to control the operation of the gaming device,
- a plurality of pay lines that includes at least one primary pay line, and one secondary pay line,
- a computer program segment that maps symbols occurring at a primary pay line, during a plurality of spins, into a secondary pay line, and
- a computer program segment that determines if a win combination occurred at pay line.
In a gaming device that includes a plurality of pay lines, wherein said plurality of pay lines includes at least one primary line, and at least one secondary line, means for mapping symbols occurring at a primary pay line, during a plurality of spins, into at least one secondary pay line.
A gaming device comprising:
- a housing,

- a microprocessor with a computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program to control the operation of the gaming device,
- a video screen that includes a plurality of playing positions, and at least one secondary pay line,
- a computer program segment that maps symbols occurring at a primary pay line, during a plurality of spins, into playing positions at said video screen, and
- a computer program segment that determines if a winning combination of symbols has occurred at a pay line.
A method for a gaming device that employs at least one primary pay line, and at least one secondary pay line, comprising the steps of:
- mapping symbols occurring at a primary pay line, during a plurality of spins, into a secondary pay line, and
