US 2024/0203207 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INCREASING A MULTIPLIER AND PROVIDING A BINGO AWARD IN ASSOCIATION WITH A MULTIPLIER

Abstract

An electronic gaming machine includes a processor configured to control at least one display device to display at least one of a matrix of symbol positions and a plurality of multipliers, and to evaluate a bingo card to determine a bingo game outcome. If the bingo game outcome is a winning outcome, the processor is also configured to determine an award value associated with the winning outcome, and to obtain an award quotient based at least in part on the award value and a value of at least one multiplier of the plurality of multipliers. In addition, the processor is configured to determine a winning reel outcome associated with the award quotient, where the winning reel outcome includes a winning plurality of symbols. The processor is also configured to control the at least one display device to display the winning plurality of symbols in the matrix of symbol positions.

Dependent claims

A gaming system comprising:

a memory;
and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory, which when executed, cause the processor to at least:
cause display of a plurality of multipliers, each multiplier of the plurality of multipliers being a variable multiplier;
determine a total award value associated with a bingo game outcome;
search a paytable of reel outcomes using the total award value and a value of a first multiplier of a plurality of multipliers, the paytable of reel outcomes including a listing of award amounts that each correspond to at least one winning symbol combination;
determine, based on the search, a winning symbol combination;
and
cause the winning symbol combination, the first multiplier, and the total award value to be displayed on a display device;
and
increment the value of the first multiplier based on a designated symbol occurring in the winning symbol combination.

8 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions embodied thereon, which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

cause display of a plurality of multipliers, each multiplier of the plurality of multipliers being a variable multiplier;
determine a total award value associated with a bingo game outcome;
search a paytable of reel outcomes using the total award value and a value of a first multiplier of a plurality of multipliers, the paytable of reel outcomes including a listing of award amounts that each correspond to at least one winning symbol combination;
determine, based on the search, a winning symbol combination;
and
cause the winning symbol combination, the first multiplier, and the total award value to be displayed on a display device;
and
increment the value of the first multiplier based on a designated symbol occurring in the winning symbol combination.
