Abstract
A gaming system is disclosed which comprises a game implementer arranged to implement a game and to produce a game outcome, an outcome evaluator arranged to determine whether the game outcome corresponds to a winning outcome, and a win modification selector. The win modification selector is arranged to select a win modification identifier when a winning outcome exists from a plurality of win modification identifiers including a plurality of win multiply identifiers and at least one win reduce identifier. The gaming system also comprises a prize allocator arranged to allocate a prize to a player when a winning outcome exists and to modify the allocated prize using the selected win modification identifier. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
Claims47
A gaming system comprising:
- a display;
- a game implementer arranged to implement a game and to produce a game outcome to be displayed on the display;
- an outcome evaluator arranged to determine whether the game outcome corresponds to a winning outcome, said winning outcome having a corresponding winning outcome prize;
- a win modification selector having a plurality of selectable win modification identifiers displayed on the display, said win modification selector arranged to select a win modification identifier, when a winning outcome exists, from the displayed win modification identifiers, some but not all of said plurality of selectable win modification identifiers being replaceable, the win modification identifiers including (1) a plurality of win multiply identifiers, (2) at least one win reduce identifier and (3) at least one designated identifier, wherein only said at least one designated identifier is replaceable;
- and
- a prize allocator arranged to modify the winning outcome prize using the selected win modification identifier.
A method of gaming for use with a gaming system having a controller and a display, the method comprising:
- implementing via the controller a game so as to produce a game outcome on the display;
- determining via the controller whether the game outcome corresponds to a winning outcome, said winning outcome having a corresponding winning outcome prize;
- displaying a win modification identifier selector having a plurality of selectable win modification identifiers, some but not all of said plurality of selectable win modification identifiers being replaceable, the win modification identifiers including (1) a plurality of win multiply identifiers, (2) at least one win reduce identifier and (3) at least one designated identifier wherein only said designated identifier is replaceable;
- selecting via the controller a win modification identifier, when a winning outcome exists, from the plurality of win modification identifiers;
- and
- modifying via the controller the winning outcome prize using the selected win modification identifier.
