An electronic gaming device is provided. The electronic gaming device may include a cabinet, a memory, a first lighting strip removably coupled to the cabinet, the first lighting strip comprising a first number of light emitting diode (LED) drivers and a first number of LEDs, a second lighting strip removably coupled to the cabinet, the second lighting strip comprising a second number of LED drivers and a second number of LEDs, and a lighting controller. The lighting controller may be configured to detect a number of LED drivers currently coupled to the cabinet, determine if: (i) the first lighting strip is currently coupled to the cabinet and (ii) the second lighting strip is currently coupled to the cabinet, select a display sequence from the memory based at least in part on the determination, and instruct LED drivers currently coupled to the cabinet to display the selected display sequence.

Touch screen systems for a gaming machine receive touch input signals via touch screen hardware. A touch screen controller communicates with a gaming machine controller. The touch screen controller drives the touch screen device hardware to render and display video data received from the game machine controller, and detects and interprets touch inputs received via the touch screen hardware during display of the video data. The touch screen controller generates touch data for each touch input. The touch screen controller provides information on all touch inputs whether valid or invalid to the game controller, and the game controller is adapted to take action in relation to both valid and invalid touch inputs.

A system includes a smart table that defines a plurality of player positions and that includes a plurality of wireless sensors. Each wireless sensor is associated with a respective player position of the plurality of player positions. The system is configured to determine, using a wireless sensor, that the mobile computing device is located proximate the wireless sensor. The system is further configured to control the wireless sensor to establish a wireless connection between the wireless sensor and the mobile computing device, and receive, from the mobile computing device, via the wireless connection, a player identifier. In addition, the system is configured to determine the respective player position associated with the wireless sensor, in response to determining the respective player position and based on the player identifier, associate the player with the respective player position within a table management database.

A gaming device includes a processor and a memory storing symbol data, trigger probability data for wager options, and instructions. The symbol data includes reel strips including positions dynamically configurable with trigger symbols associated with feature games, and trigger symbol sets including different versions of the trigger symbols and corresponding to the wager options. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to receive a selected wager option; configure the reel strips by selecting a trigger symbol from the trigger symbol set corresponding to the selected wager option for the dynamically configurable positions; select symbols from the configured reel strips for display in symbol positions; control display of the selected symbols; and upon the selected symbols including a trigger symbol associated with a feature game, determine whether the feature game is triggered based on the trigger probability data for the selected wager option and an identity of the trigger symbol.

A gaming device includes a display assembly including a monitor controller board, a display panel, and a backlight for controlling a display brightness of the display panel and a display connector providing communication between a processor of the device and the monitor controller board. The processor is programmed to determine that a trigger condition has occurred, identify a brightness command based upon the trigger condition and a lookup in a memory, and transmit the brightness command to the monitor controller board. The brightness command causes the monitor controller board to control the backlight to increase the display brightness from a first brightness level to a second brightness level. The processor further causes display at the display panel of an animation associated with the trigger condition in synchronization with the increase in the display brightness.

A gaming system comprises a display, a player interface, and a game controller having a processor, and a memory storing symbol data, a pay table, and instructions, when executed, cause the processor to receive a selection specifying paylines for evaluation, each payline specifying one symbol position on one column, split a first symbol position into sub-positions, randomly select symbols for display at the symbol positions and sub-positions, display the symbols selected, and evaluate the symbols displayed at the sub-positions on each payline that includes the sub-positions, whether the symbols displayed at the sub-positions contribute to a winning combination.

A system for configuring a digital wallet application for implementing a casino player loyalty program includes a memory storing reward configuration data associated with digital wallet awards and a processor configured to: (a) provide an award type user interface for receiving player loyalty award types; (b) receive award type data corresponding to one or more selected player loyalty award types; (c) provide an award threshold user interface for receiving at least one indication corresponding to player loyalty award thresholds; (d) receive award threshold data corresponding to one or more selected player loyalty award thresholds; (e) provide an award trigger user interface for receiving player loyalty award triggers; (f) receive award trigger data corresponding to selected player loyalty award triggers; and (g) configure a rules engine for a mobile wallet based, at least in part, on the award type data, the award threshold data and the award trigger data.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for electronic gaming are disclosed. In a first aspect, a method of electronic gaming includes selecting a plurality of primary game symbols, displaying the plurality of primary game symbols, initiating, based upon the plurality of primary game symbols, a secondary game, displaying a trigger symbol in association with the secondary game, displaying a trigger symbol action associated with the trigger symbol, selecting a plurality of secondary game symbols in association with the secondary game (where one of the secondary game symbols comprising the trigger symbol), displaying the plurality of secondary game symbols, and performing the trigger symbol action based upon the trigger symbol.

An interactive electronic gaming machine that includes cumulative free games and a spinning wheel feature is disclosed. The interactive electronic gaming machine is a video slot machine game that includes a base game, cumulative free games, and a spinning wheel feature. The spinning wheel feature may include a plurality of values, selectable in response to a spin and stop of the spinning wheel. The selected value can include a multiplier associated with cumulative free games, which enhances a payout to a player of the interactive electronic gaming machine.

A gaming device for dynamically configuring a composite feature game based on a first feature game and a second feature game. When the composite feature game is triggered, a game controller determines respective current states of a first feature game and a second feature game. The current state of the first feature game comprises a first unenhanced state that has a first unenhanced play characteristic and a first enhanced state that has a first enhanced play characteristic. The current state of the second feature game comprises a second unenhanced state that has a second unenhanced play characteristic and a second enhanced state that has a second unenhanced play characteristic. The game controller dynamically incorporates one of the first enhanced play characteristic and one of the second unenhanced play characteristic and the second unenhanced play characteristic into a composite play characteristic.
