Claims20
A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
- communicating data that results in a display, by a display device, of a first digit set comprising multiple digits;
- communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of a first lock covering a first one of the digits of the first digit set;
- responsive to an occurrence of a first lock movement event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of the first lock uncovering the first one of the digits of the first digit set, the first lock moving from the first one of the digits of the first digit set to a second one of the digits of the first digit set, and the first lock covering the second one of the digits of the first digit set;
- and
- responsive to an occurrence of a first digit set triggering event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of a digit set based on the digits of the first digit set that are not covered by the first lock at a time of the occurrence of the first digit set triggering event.

A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
- communicating data that results in a display, by a display device, of a first digit set and a second digit set, each of the first digit set and the second digit set comprising multiple digits;
- communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of a first lock covering a first one of the digits of the first digit set and a second lock covering a first one of the digits of the second digit set;
- responsive to an occurrence of a lock movement event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of (i) the first lock uncovering the first one of the digits of the first digit set and the first lock covering a second one of the digits of the first digit set, and (ii) the second lock uncovering the first one of the digits of the second digit set and the second lock covering a second one of the digits of the second digit set;
- and
- responsive to an occurrence of a digit set triggering event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of a digit set based on at least one of (i) the digits of the first digit set that are not covered by the first lock at a time of the occurrence of the digit set triggering event, and (ii) the digits of the second digit set that are not covered by the second lock at a time of the occurrence of the digit set triggering event.

A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
- communicating data that results in a display, by a display device, of a first digit set comprising multiple digits;
- after communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of an occurrence of a first lock placement event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of a first lock covering a first one of the digits of the first digit set;
- after communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of an occurrence of a first lock movement event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of the first lock uncovering the first one of the digits of the first digit set, the first lock moving from the first one of the digits of the first digit set to a second one of the digits of the first digit set, and the first lock covering the second one of the digits of the first digit set;
- and
- thereafter, after communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of an occurrence of a first digit set triggering event, communicating data that results in a display, by the display device, of a digit set based on the digits of the first digit set that are not covered by the first lock at a time of the occurrence of the first digit set triggering event.
