Abstract
Systems and methods which modify one or more triggering conditions of an event based on a quantity of occurrences of one or more tracked elements.
Claims16
A method of operating a system, the method comprising:
- when a first amount of monetary elements are tracked prior to a first event, configuring an operation of an electronic gaming machine by associating, by a processor, a first triggering condition with a triggering of a second event, wherein when an opening of an access door of the electronic gaming machine is detected via a security monitoring circuit of the electronic gaming machine following the association of the first triggering condition with the triggering of the second event, any occurrence of the second event is disabled and the association of the first triggering condition with the triggering of the second event is stored until at least a closing of the access door is detected via the security monitoring circuit which results in an enablement of an occurrence of the second event,
- when a second, different amount of monetary elements are tracked prior to the first event, configuring the operation of the electronic gaming machine by associating, by the processor, a second, different triggering condition with the triggering of the same second event, wherein when the opening of the access door of the electronic gaming machine is detected via the security monitoring circuit of the electronic gaming machine following the association of the second, different triggering condition with the triggering of the second event, any occurrence of the second event is disabled and the association of the second, different triggering condition with the triggering of the second event is stored until at least the closing of the access door is detected via the security monitoring circuit which results in the enablement of the occurrence of the second event, and
- after configuring the operation of the electronic gaming machine:
- responsive to a satisfaction of the first triggering condition at a first point in time, displaying, by a display device, the second event, and
- responsive to a satisfaction of the second, different triggering condition at the first point in time:
- displaying, by the display device, the same second event, and
- responsive to an occurrence of a reset event, reconfiguring the operation of the electronic gaming machine by associating, by the processor, the triggering condition to the first triggering condition, for a future occurrence of the first event.

A method of operating a system, the method comprising:
- when a first amount of monetary elements are tracked prior to a first event, configuring an operation of an electronic gaming machine by associating, by a processor, a triggering condition such that when a tracked amount of monetary elements are within a first range, the triggering condition has a first probability of being satisfied to trigger a second event,
- when the tracked amount of monetary elements are within a second range that does not overlap with the first range, configuring the operation of the electronic gaming machine by associating, by the processor, the triggering condition with a second probability of being satisfied to trigger the same second event, wherein when an opening of an access door of the electronic gaming machine is detected via a security monitoring circuit of the electronic gaming machine following any association of the triggering condition, any occurrence of the second event is disabled and the association of the triggering condition with the triggering of the second event is stored until at least a closing of the access door is detected via the security monitoring circuit which results in an enablement of an occurrence of the second event,
- responsive to the satisfaction of the triggering event at a first point in time when the tracked amount of monetary elements are within the first range, displaying, by a display device, the second event, and
- responsive to the satisfaction of the triggering event at the first point in time when the tracked amount of monetary elements are within the second range:
- displaying, by the display device, the same second event, and
- responsive to an occurrence of a reset event, reconfiguring the operation of the electronic gaming machine by associating, by the processor, the tracked amount of monetary elements to being within the first range, for a second, subsequent occurrence of a first event.

A method of operating a system, the method comprising:
- configuring an operation of an electronic gaming machine by associating, by a processor, a triggering condition based on a value of a incrementing pool prior to a first event, wherein:
- a first instance of a triggering condition is associated with a first value of the incrementing pool, that, if satisfied, results in a triggering of a second event,
- a second, different instance of the triggering condition is associated with a second, different value of the incrementing pool that, if satisfied, results in the triggering of the same second event, and
- when an opening of an access door of the electronic gaming machine is detected via a security monitoring circuit of the electronic gaming machine following the association of the triggering condition, any occurrence of the second event is disabled and the association of the triggering condition is stored until at least a closing of the access door is detected via the security monitoring circuit which results in an enablement of an occurrence of the second event, and
- for the first event:
- displaying, by a display device, the value of the incrementing pool, and
- responsive to satisfaction of the first instance of the triggering condition at a first point in time, triggering, by the processor, the second event, and responsive to satisfaction of the second, different instance of the triggering condition at a second point in time:
- triggering, by the processor, the same second event, and
- responsive to an occurrence of a reset event when the triggering condition comprises the second, different instance of the triggering condition, reconfiguring the operation of the electronic gaming machine by resetting, by the processor, the triggering condition to the first instance of the triggering condition for a future first event.
