Claims20
An electronic gaming machine comprising:
- a housing comprising an openable access door;
- a security monitoring circuit within the housing;
- a plurality of input devices supported by the housing;
- a plurality of output devices supported by the housing and comprising a display device;
- a processor within the housing;
- and
- a trusted memory device within the housing and that stores a plurality of instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- after the security monitoring circuit detects an opening of the access door, cause a first signal to be sent to a remote monitoring device, and
- after the security monitoring circuit detects a closing of the access door,
- cause a second signal to be sent to the remote monitoring device,
- cause a display, by the display device, of randomly determined initial cards for an initial hand,
- cause a display, by the display device, of a duplicate of each initial card that is held for the initial hand in each of a plurality of additional hands,
- cause a display, by the display device, of a replacement card in the initial hand for each initial card in the initial hand that is not held,
- cause a display, by the display device, of completion of each of the additional hands,
- cause a display, by the display device, of a determined award modifier for each additional hand that satisfies a winning hand condition,
- cause a display, by the display device, of a total quantity of award modifiers,
- cause a display, by the display device, of a single spin of a bonus wheel associated with the total quantity of award modifiers if the total quantity of the award modifiers is less than an award modifier threshold, and
- cause a display, by the display device, of multiple spins of the bonus wheel associated with the total quantity of award modifiers if the total quantity of the award modifiers is more than the award modifier threshold, wherein each spin of the bonus wheel is associated with a part of but not all of the total quantity of award modifiers.
