Abstract
Gaming systems and methods that randomly modify a value of an accumulated symbol upon cach occurrence of a modification event.
Claims20
A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor in association with a sequence comprising a plurality of plays of a game, cause the processor to:
- cause a display, by a display device, of:
- a symbol displayed at a symbol display position, and
- a first value associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position,
- responsive to a first random occurrence of a modification event associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position, cause a display, by the display device, of a second value associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position, wherein the second value is based on the first value, and
- responsive to a second, subsequent random occurrence of the modification event associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position, cause a display, by the display device, of a third value associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position, wherein the third value is based on the second value and a randomly determined modification of the second value, and the second, subsequent random occurrence of the modification event associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position occurs independent of the first random occurrence of the modification event associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position.

- cause a display, by a display device, of:
- a symbol displayed at a symbol display position, and
- an award associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position,
- responsive to the symbol being a designated symbol and a random occurrence of a modification event associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position:
- modify the award associated with the symbol based on a randomly determined modification of the award associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position, wherein the random occurrence of the modification event associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position occurs independent of any other symbols displayed at any other symbol display positions, and
- cause a display, by the display device, of the modified award associated with the symbol displayed at the symbol display position.

- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- responsive to a random determination to modify an award associated with a symbol accumulated at a symbol display position to a progressive award when no other symbols initially associated with any progressive awards are displayed at any other symbol display positions:
- cause the progressive award to be part of a total award, and
- cause a display, by the display device, of the total award comprising the progressive award.
