International Classification:
H63F 924
US Classification:
463 19, 463 16, 463 17, 463 18, 463 20, 463 21
Abstract:
A method according to the invention includes determining a pattern probability for each of a number of target patterns achievable in a bingo-type game. Each pattern probability comprises a probability of achieving the respective target pattern in the bingo-type game. The method next includes associating or mapping different pattern sets to each different prize level in a desired prize distribution. The target patterns and their respective pattern probabilities are assigned or mapped to the different pattern sets so that the individual pattern probabilities included in each pattern set add up to the desired probability of the prize level with which the pattern set is associated. In this way, a desired prize distribution may be used in a bingo-type game.

A pattern probability () is determined for each of a number of target patterns () achievable in a bingo-type game. Each pattern probability () comprises a probability of achieving the respective target pattern () in the bingo-type game. Different pattern sets are then associated with each different prize level in a desired prize distribution. The target patterns () and their respective pattern probabilities () are assigned or mapped to the different pattern sets so that the probability of achieving any target pattern included in a pattern set comprises a value approximating the desired probability of the prize level with which the pattern set is associated.
Gaming System, Machine And Method With Modified Payout Mapping
US Patent:
8371922, Feb 12, 2013
Filed:
Apr 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/770917
Inventors:

Abstract:
A gaming system, apparatus, and method are disclosed which include identifying a set of initial game designations to produce a game ending winner for a game, one or more additional game designations may be considered, that is, compared against a set of elements shown on a card or display in play in the game. Considering these additional game designations in addition to the set of initial game designations may produce additional matched locations on the card or display and may produce a winning pattern that would not have been produced considering only the initial set of game designations. This use of additional game designations provides additional opportunities for players to obtain a winning result.
