20150325078 | GAMING MACHINE, APPARATUS AND METHODS - A gaming system for operating a game of chance, more particularly a gaming machine having a player interface with interactive display, a processor with memory, instructions in memory, and a graphics modelling engine operative cooperatively with a kinematics engine and random number engine, such that the gaming machine is adapted to display randomized motions for a plurality of virtual gamepieces, termed here “selectable objects”, each selectable object having a concealed “embedded element” that is revealed during gameplay. The instructions are configured to execute an initialization stage, a transitional stage, a transformational stage with spatial randomization, and a play stage in which a player selects a subset of the gamepieces from a virtual gameboard. The game is resolved by determining a game outcome based on the number of instant win lottery numbers and non-random supplemental indicia matched by a player, and awarding a prize to motivate further play. | 11-12-2015 |
20150325079 | PLATFORMS AND SYSTEMS FOR PLAYING GAMES OF CHANCE - A gaming platform and system for operating a game of chance, more particularly a gaming machine having a player interface with interactive display, a processor with memory, instructions in memory, and a graphics modelling engine operative cooperatively with a kinematics engine and random number engine, such that the gaming machine is adapted to display randomized motions of a plurality of virtual gamepieces, wherein the final resting place, orientation and content of each gamepiece is indeterminate and unknowable until motion stops. The instructions, when executed by a processor, are configured to operate a game of chance. In preferred “conceal and reveal games”, a player selects gamepieces, termed here “selectable objects”, each selectable object having a concealed “embedded element” that is revealed during gameplay, and the game outcome is based on the number of random and non-random indicia matched by the player. | 11-12-2015 |
