Claims19
A system for providing bingo game play, comprising
- a bingo game server in communication with a player interface and with a memory device;
- a bingo controller in communication with the bingo game server and with the memory device;
- a game webserver in communication with the bingo game server;
- and
- the memory device storing bingo game instructions and player interface instructions which, when executed by the bingo game server, direct the bingo game server to perform a method comprising:
- determining a set of game numbers of a player for play of a wheel-based game;
- determining a set of available game numbers from which a game number will be called for the wheel-based game;
- generating a representation of a wheel, wherein each available game number is allocated to a respective segment of the wheel;
- calling one of the available game numbers for the wheel-based game;
- and
- modifying the representation of the wheel by (i) removing the respective segment from the representation of the wheel that corresponds to the called game number and is adjacent to a first adjacent segment that corresponds to a first available game number and to a second adjacent segment that corresponds to a second available game number, (ii) expanding the first adjacent segment, and (iii) expanding the second adjacent segment.
