摘要： A computer-implemented method of operating a computing device may comprise enabling the player to play a wager-based and skill-influenced game in which in-game assets are presented for player interaction, each being configured as a wagering opportunity, a successful player interaction with which generates a wager. The game may be configured to operate in a first wager-based state in which a skill of the player affects whether and/or a degree to which player interactions with the wagering opportunities are determined to be successful. Game play of the game configured in the first wager-based state may be enabled, player interactions with the wagering opportunities received and the player may be randomly rewarded for player interactions determined to be successful. The game may be configured to operate in a second wager-based state in which effects of the player's skill are changed relative to the first wager-based state and game play enabled in such second wager-based state. Upon occurrence of a predetermined action or event, the game may be reconfigured back to the first wager-based state and game play may be re-enabled to operate in the first wager-based state.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of operating a regulated gaming machine may comprise accepting, in the regulated gaming machine, funds from a player and enabling the player to play a wager-based game having a plurality of stages and enabling, for a game session, game play and wagers at a current stage of the game. A determination may then be made whether game play has reached a stage complete state in which all requirements necessary for transitioning game play to a next or another stage of the plurality of stages, as may be a determination whether this is a first time, during the game session, that the game play has reached the stage complete state for the current stage. An incentive may be offered to the player to transition game play to the next or another stage when game play has reached the stage complete state for the first time and not offering the player the incentive otherwise. The offered incentive may be rewarded when a player interaction is received in the regulated gaming machine that causes game play to transition to a next or another stage of the plurality of stages. Continued game play may be enabled in the current stage of the game when a player interaction received in the regulated gaming machine causes game play to remain in the current stage of the plurality of stages. When a determination is made that game play has previously reached the stage complete in the current stage in the game session, the offering and rewarding the incentive to transition the game to the next or another stage is disallowed.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of operating a regulated gaming machine may comprise accepting funds, in the regulated gaming machine, from a player and correspondingly establishing player game credits. A game may be provided that comprises a plurality of in-game assets, each of which being configured to generate a wagering opportunity when interacted with by the player. One or more player interactions may be received, with at least one the plurality of in-game assets. For each generated wagering opportunity, it may be determined whether the received player interaction(s) resulted in a successful or an unsuccessful interaction with the in-game asset. For each successful interaction, a time elapsed until successful interaction and a wagering event may be generated. For one or more of the generated wagering events, the determined time elapsed until successful interaction may be used to select one of a plurality of payout schedules, each of which being associated with a different return to player (RTP) percentage. An award of player game credits may be generated according to the selected payout schedule and the RTP associated with the selected payout schedule, such that shorter times elapsed until successful interaction cause a selection of payout schedules that are more advantageous to the player than comparatively longer times elapsed until successful interaction.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of operating a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured to interact with a player and to generate a skill-influenced random outcome comprising a generated random pattern, skewed by received skillful player interactions, within an arrangement of a predetermined plurality of elements, each random pattern being associated with an equally random probability of being generated. The player may be provided with an opportunity to select the winning pattern. To do so, an opportunity may be provided, and the player may select, a desired pattern of the predetermined plurality of elements as the pattern on which the player wishes to place a wager. The skill-influenced random outcome may then be generated and displayed, the skill-influenced random outcome comprising the skewed random pattern, skewed by the received player interactions, within the arrangement of the predetermined plurality of elements. The selection by the player of the desired pattern may then be compared with the skewed random pattern of the skill-influenced random outcome. The player may be rewarded when the selection by the player of the desired pattern matches the skewed random pattern of the skill-influenced random outcome and the established player credits may be correspondingly credited.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of operating a regulated gaming machine may comprise accepting, in the regulated gaming machine, funds from a player and enabling the player to play a wager-based game that comprises a plurality of game levels. A plurality of payout schedules may be provided, each of which defining a respectively different Return to Player (RTP) percentage. The performance of the player during each of the plurality of game levels may be monitored and, during each of the plurality of game levels, a number of performance indicia may be awarded and displayed, depending upon the monitored player performance, such that a higher player performance is awarded a greater number of performance indicia than is a comparatively lower player performance. When game play has reached an end of a current level of the plurality of game levels, a bonus reward may be awarded, a value of the bonus reward being determined using a selected one of the plurality of payout schedules. The payout schedule used to determine the bonus reward may be selected according to the number performance indicia awarded and displayed during the current game level. Awarding the bonus reward may include generating and displaying one discrete graphic element for each performance indicium awarded, each being configured to enable at least a portion of the bonus reward to be displayed.

摘要： A method of determining rewards due to a player playing a regulated gaming machine may include configuring player interaction with a plurality of games assets to give rise to first Wagering Opportunities and a selectively available second Wagering Opportunity. The game may be further configured to have an overall minimum return to player (RTP) and an overall maximum RTP. Using the accepted funds and a first payout schedule that defines a first RTP that is at least as great as the minimum overall RTP, it may be determined whether and how much to reward the player whenever the player interacts with the first Wagering Opportunities to generate first Wagering Events. For at least some of the first Wagering Events generated, a portion of a reward due to the player may be virtually contributed to a bounty. Only when the player successfully interacts with the available second Wagering Opportunity, a second Wagering Event is generated and the player is rewarded an amount at least equal to the bounty according to a second payout schedule that defines a second RTP that is greater than the overall minimum RTP, without exceeding the overall maximum RTP of the game.

摘要： A method of determining rewards due to a player playing a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured such that a plurality of games assets within the game are configured as a corresponding plurality of Wagering Opportunities, the game being further configured to have an overall minimum return to player (RTP) and an overall maximum RTP. Upon receiving a player interaction with a Wagering Opportunity of the plurality of Wagering Opportunities, the game may perform either a) generating a Wagering Event using the accepted funds, a random number and an accessed first payout schedule that defines a first RTP when the player interaction with the Wagering Opportunity causes a first result, the first RTP being at least as great as the overall minimum RTP; orb) generating a Wagering Event using the accepted funds, the random number and an accessed second payout schedule that defines a second RTP when the player interaction with the Wagering Opportunity causes a second result, the second RTP being greater than the first RTP. The player may then be rewarded an amount determined by the random number and the accessed first payout schedule or second payout schedule.

摘要： A game, configured for execution in a regulated gaming machine, may require skillful actions by a player to achieve an objective of the game. The game may be further configured such that outcomes are partially determined by randomness and partially determined by inputs to the regulated gaming machine from the player. A computer-implemented method may comprise, iteratively, during game play of the game: receiving inputs from the player via a player interface; generating a skillful action within the game based upon the received player inputs, and generating an outcome of the skillful action that is partially determined by randomness and partially determined by the generated skillful action based upon the player inputs. A reward may be selectively provided to the player according to the generated outcome and according to a predetermined target Return to Player (RTP) percentage for the game. The degree to which the randomness affects the generated outcome and the degree to which the skillful action based upon inputs from the player affect the generated outcome may then be changed such that a later-generated outcome is differently affected by the randomness and by inputs from the player than a prior-generated outcome.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of operating a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured to generate a plurality of in-game assets on a display, the in-game assets being configured such that successful player interaction therewith selectively triggers. An opportunity for the player to reconfigure the game in exchange for value from the player may be selectively enabled during game play. When a received player interaction is indicative of the player accepting the provided opportunity, value from the player may be accepted and the game reconfigured by changing one or more of the in-game assets and/or changing what constitutes successful interactions therewith that triggers wagers. Conversely, when the received player interaction is indicative of the player foregoing the provided opportunity, the game is continued and wagers selectively triggered without reconfiguring the game.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of determining rewards due to a player playing a game on a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured to provide a player-selectable choice of difficulty levels; associating a respective maximum Return to Player (RTP) for each of the difficulty levels, and at least one pay schedule for each of the maximum RTPs; accepting funds from a player; receiving a player selection of one of the difficulty levels; configuring the game to enable wagers using the accepted funds and a selected pay schedule(s) such that amounts returned to the player are selectively between a minimum RTP and the maximum RTP associated with the player-selected difficulty level; enabling game play of the game as configured, and receiving inputs from the player. When the received player inputs are associated with less successful game play, the player is rewarded with amounts that are closer to a minimum RTP and when the player inputs are associated with comparatively more successful game play, the player is rewarded with amounts that are closer to the maximum RTP associated with the player-selected difficulty level.
