Each of the trigger symbols can cause the gaming system and method to provide multiple independent symbol evaluations during a play of the game for the same set of randomly generated and displayed symbols.
Claims20
A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, for a play of a game, cause the processor to:
- cause a display, by a display device, of symbols at symbol display positions, the displayed symbols randomly selected from different symbols, the displayed symbols comprising a multi-evaluation trigger symbol, wherein the display of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol comprises a display of different alternative symbols of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol and an indication of a first one of the alternative symbols;
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combination formed by the displayed symbols and based on a first symbol evaluation comprising the indicated first alternative symbol of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol;
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a second one of the alternative symbols of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol;
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combination formed by the displayed symbols and based on a second symbol evaluation comprising the indicated second alternative symbol of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol;
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a third one of the alternative symbols of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol;
- and
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combination formed by the displayed symbols and based on a third evaluation comprising the indicated third alternative symbol of the multi-evaluation trigger symbol.

- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, for a play of a game, cause the processor to:
- cause a display, by a display device, of symbols at a symbol display positions, the displayed symbols randomly selected from different symbols, the displayed symbols comprising a plurality of multi-evaluation trigger symbols, wherein the display of each of the multi-evaluation trigger symbols comprises a display of alternative symbols of that multi-evaluation trigger symbol and an indication of a first one of the alternative symbols of that multi-evaluation trigger symbol;
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combinations formed by the displayed symbols and based on one or more symbol evaluations comprising the indicated first alternative symbols of each of the multi-evaluation trigger symbols;
- cause a display, by the display device, of indications of second ones of the alternative symbols of each of the multi-evaluation trigger symbols;
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combinations formed by the displayed symbols and based on one or more symbol evaluations comprising the indicated second alternative symbols of the multi-evaluation trigger symbols;
- cause a display, by the display device, of indications of third ones of the alternative symbols of each of the multi-evaluation trigger symbols;
- and
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combinations formed by the displayed symbols and based on one or more symbol evaluations comprising the indicated third alternative symbols of the multi-evaluation trigger symbols.

- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a second one of the alternative symbols of the second multi-evaluation trigger symbol;
- and
- cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of any winning symbol combination formed by the displayed symbols and based on a fourth symbol evaluation comprising the indicated alternative symbol of the second multi-evaluation trigger symbol.
