Abstract
Systems and methods conduct a wagering game having a game set of numbers and a bonus track. A player selects a selection set of numbers from the game set. An outcome set of numbers from the game set is randomly generated. The player is rewarded, based upon a pay table, for matches between numbers in the selection set and the outcome set. If a bonus trigger condition is fulfilled, a bonus element uses a spinner to randomly determine movement of a game piece around the bonus track to identify a bonus feature that is implemented to further engage the player.
Claims26
A method for conducting, within a wagering game system and with a player, a wagering game having a game set of numbers, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) receiving, within the wagering game system, a selection set comprising:
- (a) a regular selection set of different numbers selected from the game set and (b) a bonus selection set of at least one different number selected from the game set and different from the numbers of the regular selection set;
- (ii) generating, using a processor of the wagering game system, an outcome set comprising a predefined quantity of randomly selected different numbers from the game set;
- (iii) generating a hit set of numbers that are common to both the regular selection set and the outcome set;
- (iv) generating a bonus hit set of numbers that are common to both the bonus selection set and the outcome set;
- (v) determining whether a bonus trigger condition is met based upon the bonus hit set;
- and
- (vi) moving, if the bonus trigger condition is met, a game piece from a current location to a destination location on a bonus track, wherein the destination identifies a bonus feature;
- and
- (vii) implementing, if the bonus trigger condition is met, the bonus feature within the wagering game.
A system for displaying a computer-implemented wagering game with a game set comprised of a set of numbers, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display for displaying the game set and a bonus track formed around the game set;
- an input device for interacting with the player;
- and,
- a memory storing software comprising machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor perform the steps of:
- (i) receiving, using the input device, a selection set comprising:
- (a) a regular selection set of different numbers selected from the game set and (b) a bonus selection set of at least one different number selected from the game set and different from the numbers of the regular selection set;
- (ii) generating an outcome set comprising a predefined quantity of randomly selected different numbers from the game set;
- (iii) generating a hit set of numbers that are common to both the regular selection set and the outcome set;
- (iv) generating a bonus hit set of numbers that are common to both the bonus selection set and the outcome set;
- (v) determining whether a bonus trigger condition is met based upon the bonus hit set;
- and
- (vi) moving, if the bonus trigger condition is met, a game piece from a current location to a destination location on the bonus track, wherein the destination identifies a bonus feature;
- and
- (vii) implementing, if the bonus trigger condition is met, the bonus feature within the wagering game.
A method for conducting, within a wagering game system and with a player, a wagering game having a game set of numbers, the method comprising the steps of:
- (i) receiving, within the wagering game system, a selection set comprising a plurality of different numbers selected from the game set;
- (ii) generating, using a processor of the wagering game system, an outcome set having an outcome set sequence, of at least two randomly selected and different numbers of the game set;
- (iii) generating a hit set of numbers that are common to both the outcome set and the selection set;
- (iv) determining whether a bonus trigger condition is met based upon one number of the outcome set, at a particular position in the order of generation of the outcome set, that is present within the hit set;
- and
- (v) moving, if the bonus trigger condition is met, a game piece from a current location to a destination track segment on a bonus track, wherein the destination track segment identifies a bonus feature;
- and
- (vi) implementing, if the bonus trigger condition is met, the bonus feature within the wagering game.
