Abstract
A system includes a processor circuit and a memory including machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform operations. Such operations include displaying, on a display device of a gaming device in response to receiving a wager from a user of the gaming device, a graphical user interface for a wagering game including multiple game symbols arranged in an array and a volatility selection input that is configured to receive a volatility selection value from the user, determining an award amount that the user has won in a previous wagering game and setting the volatility selection value of the award amount to correspond to a user defined volatility.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- and
- a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to:
- display, on a display device of a gaming device in response to receiving a wager from a user of the gaming device, a graphical user interface for a wagering game comprising a plurality of game symbols arranged in an array and a volatility selection input that is configured to receive a volatility selection value from the user;
- determine an award amount that the user has won in a previous wagering game;
- and
- set the volatility selection value of the award amount to correspond to a user defined volatility.
A gaming device comprising:
- a display device;
- an input device;
- a processor circuit;
- and
- a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to:
- display, on the display device of a gaming device in response to receiving a wager from a user of the gaming device, a graphical user interface for a wagering game comprising a volatility selection input that is configured to receive a volatility selection value from the user, wherein the volatility selection value comprises one of a reward selection or a risk selection;
- determine an award amount that the user has won in a previous wagering game;
- and
- set the volatility selection value of the award amount.
A method comprising:
- displaying, on a display device of a gaming device in response to receiving a wager from a user of the gaming device, a graphical user interface for a wagering game comprising a volatility selection input that is configured to receive a volatility selection value from the user, wherein the volatility selection value comprises one of a reward selection or a risk selection;
- determining, using a processing circuit, an award amount that the user has won in a previous wagering game;
- setting the volatility selection value of the award amount;
- responsive to the volatility selection value being a reward selection, locking the award amount for subsequent portions of the wagering session;
- responsive to the volatility selection value being a risk selection, wagering using the award amount for subsequent portions of the wagering session;
- and
- determining an award threshold value that corresponds to an award amount that a player has received during a wagering session.
