Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to systems and methods, which allow a player, the gaming device, and/or the gaming system to utilize exploding scatters. The electronic gaming device and/or method may utilize a plurality of reels. The plurality of reels may include one or more areas. The electronic gaming device and/or method may utilize a memory and a processor. The processor may generate one or more symbols to be located in the one or more areas. The one or more symbols may include a first expanding scatter symbol and a first dormant scatter symbol. The processor may modify the first dormant scatter symbol into an award value based on a first interaction determination.
Claims20
An electronic gaming device comprising:
- a plurality of reels, the plurality of reels including one or more areas;
- a memory;
- a processor configured to generate one or more symbols to be located in the one or more areas, the one or more symbols include a first expanding scatter symbol and a first dormant scatter symbol, the processor configured to modify the first dormant scatter symbol into an award value based on a first interaction determination;
- wherein the first expanding scatter symbol is configured to expand into the one or more areas in one or more directions and in one or more spatial lengths based on the first interaction determination, where the one or more directions includes at least a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, and where the one or more spatial lengths includes at least a one unit spatial length away, a two unit spatial length away, and a three unit spatial length away, wherein the first expanding scatter symbol is configured to generate one or more payouts which are not dependent on one or more payout lines.
A method of providing gaming options via an electronic gaming device comprising:
- displaying via one or more processors a first expanding scatter symbol;
- displaying via the one or more processors a first dormant scatter symbol;
- determining via the one or more processors a first interaction between the first expanding scatter symbol and the first dormant scatter symbol;
- and
- modifying via the one or more processors the first dormant scatter symbol based on the first interaction;
- wherein the first expanding scatter symbol is configured to expand into the one or more areas in one or more directions and in one or more spatial lengths based on the first interaction determination, where the one or more directions includes at least a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, and where the one or more spatial lengths includes at least a one unit spatial length away, a two unit spatial length away, and a three unit spatial length away, wherein the first expanding scatter symbol is configured to generate one or more payouts which are not dependent on one or more payout lines.
An electronic gaming system comprising:
- a server including a server memory and a server processor, the server processor configured to display a plurality of reels which include one or more symbols, the one or more symbols include a first expanding scatter symbol and a first dormant scatter symbol;
- and
- the server processor configured to modify the first dormant scatter symbol into an award value based on a first interaction determination;
- wherein the first expanding scatter symbol is configured to expand into the one or more areas in one or more directions and in one or more spatial lengths based on the first interaction determination, where the one or more directions includes at least a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, and where the one or more spatial lengths includes at least a one unit spatial length away, a two unit spatial length away, and a three unit spatial length away, wherein the first expanding scatter symbol is configured to generate one or more payouts which are not dependent on one or more payout lines.
