Patent Application
20240428660
This disclosure relates generally to games, and more particularly to systems, apparatuses and methods for providing poker games having additional award opportunities in gaming devices.
Casino games such as poker, slots, and craps have long been enjoyed as a means of entertainment. Some of these games originated using traditional elements such as playing cards or dice. More recently, gaming devices have been developed to simulate and/or further enhance these games while remaining entertaining. The popularity of casino gambling with wagering continues to increase, as does recreational gambling such as non-wagering computer game gambling. Part of this popularity is the increased development of new types of games that are implemented, at least in part, on gaming devices.
One reason that casino games are widely developed for gaming devices is that a wide variety of games can be implemented on gaming devices, thereby providing an array of choices for players looking to gamble. For example, the graphics and sounds included in such games can be modified to reflect popular subjects, such as movies and television shows. Game play rules and types of games can also vary greatly providing many different styles of gambling. Additionally, gaming devices require minimal supervision to operate on a casino floor, or in other gambling environments. That is, as compared to traditional casino games that require a dealer, banker, stickman, pit managers, etc., gaming devices need much less employee attention to operate.
With the ability to provide new content, players have come to expect the availability of an ever wider selection of new games when visiting casinos and other gaming venues. Playing new games adds to the excitement of “gaming.” As is well known in the art and as used herein, the term “gaming” and “gaming devices” generally involves some form of wagering, and that players make wagers of value, whether actual currency or something else of value, e.g., token or credit. Wagering-type games usually provide rewards based on random chance as opposed to skill, although some skill may be an element in some types of games. Since random chance is a significant component of these games, they are sometimes referred to as “games of chance.”
The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and apparatus that provide for new and interesting gaming experiences, and that provide other advantages over the prior art.
To overcome limitations in the prior art described above, and to overcome other limitations that will become apparent upon reading and understanding the present specification, embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus, system, computer readable storage media, and/or method that involve or otherwise facilitate a poker game having additional award opportunities.
In one example embodiment, a gaming device can be configured to include a display, a player interface, and a processor configured to deal a first poker hand and evaluate the first poker hand for awards. The processor is further configured to randomly determine whether to deal at least one additional card to the first poker hand to create a second poker hand. If such random determination results in a second poker hand, the second poker hand is further evaluated for awards.
This summary serves as an abbreviated, selective introduction of a representative subset of various concepts and embodiments that are further described or taught to those skilled in the art in the Specification herein. This summary is not intended to refer to all embodiments, scopes, or breadths of claims otherwise supported by the Specification, nor to identify essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
In the following description of various exemplary embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration representative embodiments in which the features described herein may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized, as structural and operational changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
In the description that follows, the terms “reels,” “cards,” “decks,” and similar mechanically descriptive language may be used to describe various apparatus presentation features, as well as various actions occurring to those objects (e.g., “spin,” “draw,” “hold,” “bet”). Although the present disclosure may be applicable to manual, mechanical, and/or computerized embodiments, as well as any combination therebetween, the use of mechanically descriptive terms is not meant to be only applicable to mechanical embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that, for purposes of providing gaming experiences to players, mechanical elements such as cards, reels, and the like may be simulated on a display in order to provide a familiar and satisfying experience that emulates the behavior of mechanical objects, as well as emulating actions that occur in the non-computerized games (e.g., spinning, holding, drawing, betting). Further, the computerized version may provide the look of mechanical equivalents but may be generally randomized in a different way. Thus, the terms “cards,” “decks,” “reels,” “hands,” etc., are intended to describe both physical objects and emulation or simulations of those objects and their behaviors using electronic apparatus.
In various embodiments of the invention, the gaming displays are described in conjunction with the use of data in the form of “symbols.” In the context of this disclosure, a “symbol” may generally refer at least to a collection of one or more arbitrary indicia or signs that have some conventional significance. In particular, the symbol represents values that can at least be used to determine whether to award a payout. A symbol may include numbers, letters, shapes, pictures, textures, colors, sounds, etc., and any combination therebetween. A win can be determined by comparing the symbol with another symbol. Generally, such comparisons can be performed via software by mapping numbers (or other data structures such as character strings) to the symbols and performing the comparisons on the numbers/data structures. Other conventions associated with known games (e.g., the numerical value/ordering of face cards and aces in card games) may also be programmatically analyzed to determine winning combinations.
Generally, systems, apparatuses and methods are described for enhancing winning result opportunities in gaming activities. The systems, apparatuses and methods described herein may be implemented as a single game, or part of a multi-part game. For example, the game features described herein may be implemented in primary gaming activities, bonus games, side bet games or other secondary games associated with a primary gaming activity. The game features may be implemented in stand-alone games, multi-player games, etc. Further, the disclosure may be applied to games of chance, and descriptions provided in the context of any representative game (e.g. slot game) are provided for purposes of facilitating an understanding of the features described herein. However, the principles described herein are equally applicable to any game of chance where an outcome(s) is determined for use in the player's gaming activity.
Embodiments of the present concept include providing gaming devices (also referred to as gaming apparatuses or gaming machines), gaming systems, and methods of operating these devices or systems to provide game play that provide poker games having additional award opportunities. In some embodiments, these additional award opportunities are provided by randomly determining whether to deal one or more additional cards after a first poker hand is dealt and evaluated. These additional cards (if any) can be combined with the cards of the first poker hand to generate a second poker hand, which is then evaluated. The evaluation of the first and second poker hands may be done respectively utilizing a first and second paytable, or may both be completed with respect to a single paytable. In other embodiments, the additional cards may themselves form a second card hand (that could be a second poker hand, a blackjack hand, etc.), which is then evaluated independently from the first poker hand.
In some embodiments, players may place a bonus bet or side wager to be eligible for the second poker hand with the additional cards either by removing the random determination for the additional cards completely when no bonus bet is made, or by showing the additional cards when randomly determined to do so, but not awarding any prizes to the player based on the second poker hand. However, in other embodiments, a single wager may be used with the pays in the one or more paytables being reduced to account for the game's hold or amount of wagers not theoretically returned during play. In various embodiments, the first poker hand may be a stud poker hand, draw poker hand, or other type of card hand that is evaluated using a paytable. The second hand may also be evaluated as a stud poker hand, draw poker hand, or other type of card hand that is evaluated using a paytable. For example, if additional cards are randomly determined to be presented, they may simply be added to a stud or draw poker hand to create the second poker hand that may then be evaluated as a stud poker hand using additional cards. In another example, after the additional cards are added to the first poker hand, the player may be able to hold cards and draw to generate the second poker hand. That is, in the first example a game operation may include 1) dealing 5 cards, 2) allowing a player to hold and draw cards to create a final 5-card draw poker hand, 3) evaluating the draw poker hand for awards using a first poker paytable, 4) randomly determining whether to deal additional cards (and in some embodiments how many additional cards), 5) dealing the additional cards to create the second poker hand, and 6) evaluating the second poker hand as a stud hand using a second paytable. In the second example, a game operation may include 1) dealing 5 cards, 2) evaluating the 5-card stud poker hand using a 5-card stud poker paytable, 3) randomly determining whether to deal additional cards (and in some embodiments how many additional cards), 4) dealing the additional cards, 5) allowing a player to hold and draw cards to create a second-draw poker hand, and 6) evaluate the second hand using a poker paytable. These steps may be interchanged, or replaced with different steps in other embodiments.
These inventive principles can also be applied to embodiments that use multiple hands, such as multi-play hands or multiple separate poker hands. Additionally, the second poker hands can be evaluated using, for example, a seven card paytable when two additional cards are added to the first hand, or the best 5-card hand may be used out of the 7 total cards and evaluated using a five card poker paytable.
Numerous variations are possible using these and other embodiments of the inventive concept. Some of these embodiments and variations are discussed below with reference to the drawings. However, many other embodiments and variations exist that are covered by the principles and scope of this concept. For example, although some of the embodiments discussed below involve video poker gaming machines that are played in casinos, other embodiments include application of these inventive techniques in other types of poker games, such as online poker games with monetary wagers, online card or poker games that are for entertainment purposes only and do not require actual money as a wager, as well as reel-based slot machines, or other games of chance. Some of these other types of embodiments will be discussed below as variations to the examples illustrated. However, many other types of games can implement similar techniques and fall within the scope of this inventive concept.
Referring to the example gaming apparatus 100 shown in
The user interface 104 allows the user to control and engage in play of the gaming machine 100.

Further, as previously described, the software for carrying out the functions associated with the present invention may alternatively be stored in internal memory/storage of the computing device 200, such as in the ROM 206.
The computing arrangement 200 is coupled to the display 211, which represents a display on which the gaming activities in accordance with the invention are presented. The display 211 represents the “presentation” of the game information in accordance with the invention, and may be a mechanical display showing physical spinning reels, a video display, such as liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, cathode ray tubes (CRT), digital light processing (DLP) displays, liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) displays, etc., or any type of known display or presentation screen.
Where the computing device 200 represents a stand-alone or networked computer, the display 211 may represent a standard computer terminal or display capable of displaying multiple windows, frames, etc. Where the computing device 200 represents a mobile electronic device, the display 211 may represent the video display of the mobile electronic device. Where the computing device 200 is embedded within an electronic gaming machine, the display 211 corresponds to the display screen of the gaming machine/kiosk.
A user input interface 222 such as a mouse, keyboard/keypad, microphone, touch pad, trackball, joystick, touch screen, voice-recognition system, card reader, biometric scanner, RFID detector, etc. may be provided. The user input interface 222 may be used to input commands in the computing arrangement 200, such as placing wagers or initiating gaming events on the computing arrangement 200, inputting currency or other payment information to establish a credit amount or wager amount, or inputting data to identify a player for a player loyalty system. The display 211 may also act as a user input device, e.g., where the display 211 is a touchscreen device. In embodiments, where the computing device 200 is implemented in a personal computer, tablet, smart phone, or other consumer electronic device, the user interface and display may be the available input/output mechanisms related to those devices.
Chance-based gaming systems such as slot machines, in which the present invention is applicable, are governed by random numbers and processors, as facilitated by a random number generator (RNG). The fixed and dynamic symbols generated as part of a gaming activity may be produced using one or more RNGs. RNGs may be implemented using hardware, software operable in connection with the processor 202, or some combination of hardware and software. The present invention is operable using any known RNG, and may be integrally programmed as part of the processor 202 operation, or alternatively may be a separate RNG controller 240. The RNGs are often protected by one or more security measures to prevent tampering, such as by using secured circuitry, locks on the physical game cabinet, and/or remote circuitry that transmits data to the gaming device.
The computing arrangement 200 may be connected to other computing devices or gaming machines, such as via a network. The computing arrangement 200 may be connected to a network server 228 in an intranet or local network configuration. The computer may further be part of a larger network configuration as in a global area network (GAN) such as the Internet. In such a case, the computer may have access to one or more web servers via the Internet. In other arrangements, the computing arrangement 200 may be configured as an Internet server and software for carrying out the operations in accordance with the present invention may interact with the player via one or more networks. The computing arrangement 200 may also be operable over a social network or other network environment that may or may not regulate the wagering and/or gaming activity associated with gaming events played on the computing arrangement.
Other components directed to gaming machine implementations include manners of gaming participant payment, and gaming machine payout. For example, a gaming machine including the computing arrangement 200 may also include a payout controller 242 to receive a signal from the processor 202 indicating a payout is to be made to a player and controlling a payout device 244 to facilitate payment of the payout to the player. In some embodiments, the payout controller 242 may independently determine the amount of payout to be provided to the participant or player. In other embodiments, the payout controller 242 may be integrally implemented with the processor 202. The payout controller 242 may be a hopper controller, a print driver, credit-transmitting device, bill-dispensing controller, accounting software, or other controller device configured to verify and/or facilitate payment to a player.
A payout device 244 may also be provided in gaming machine embodiments, where the payout device 244 serves as the mechanism providing the payout to the player or participant. In some embodiments, the payout device may be a hopper, where the hopper serves as the mechanism holding the coins/tokens of the machine, and/or distributing the coins/tokens to the player in response to a signal from the payout controller 242. In other embodiments, the payout device 244 may be a printer mechanism structured to print credit-based tickets that may be redeemed by the player for cash, credit, or other casino value-based currency. In yet other embodiments, the payout device 244 may send a signal via the network server 228 or other device to electronically provide a credit amount to an account associated with the player, such as a credit card account or player loyalty account. The computing arrangement 200 may also include accounting data stored in one of the memory devices 204, 206. This accounting data may be transmitted to a casino accounting network or other network to manage accounting statistics for the computing arrangement or to provide verification data for the currency or currency-based tickets distributed by the payout device, such as providing the data associated with the bar codes printed on the currency-based tickets so they are identifiable as valid tickets for a particular amount when the player redeems them or inserts them in another gaming device.
The wager input module or device 246 represents any mechanism for accepting coins, tokens, coupons, bills, electronic fund transfer (EFT), tickets, credit cards, smart cards, membership/loyalty cards, etc., for which a participant inputs a wager amount. The wager input device 246 may include magnetic strip readers, bar code scanners, light sensors, or other detection devices to identify and validate physical currency, currency-based tickets, cards with magnetized-strips, or other medium inputted into the wager input device. When a particular medium is received in the wager input device 246, a signal may be generated to establish or increase an available credit amount or balance stored in the internal memory/storage of the computing device 200, such as in the RAM 204. Thereafter, specific wagers placed on games may reduce the available credit amount, while awards won may increase the available credit amount. It will be appreciated that the primary gaming software 232 may be able to control payouts via the payout device 244 and payout controller 242 for independently determined payout events.
Among other functions, the computing arrangement 200 provides an interactive experience to players via an input interface 222 and output devices, such as the display 211, speaker 230, etc. These experiences are generally controlled by gaming software 232 that controls a primary gaming activity of the computing arrangement 200. The gaming software 232 may be temporarily loaded into RAM 204, and may be stored locally using any combination of ROM 206, drives 212, media player 214, or other computer-readable storage media known in the art. The primary gaming software 232 may also be accessed remotely, such as via the server 228 or the Internet.
The primary gaming software 232 in the computing arrangement 200 may be an application software module. According to embodiments of the present invention, this software 232 provides a slot game or similar game of chance as described hereinabove. For example, the software 232 may present, by way of the display 211, representations of symbols to map or otherwise display as part of a slot based game having reels. However, in other embodiments, the principles of this concept may be applied to poker games or other types of games of chance. One or more aligned positions of these game elements may be evaluated to determine awards based on a paytable. The software 232 may include instructions to provide other functionality as known in the art or as described and shown herein.
The poker hand 310 includes a first portion of card positions 311, which in this embodiment is five card positions making a 5-card first poker hand, and a second portion of card positions 312, which in this embodiment is a single additional card. Note that in other embodiments, the second portion of card positions 312 may include two additional card positions, three additional card positions, or more. One or more virtual decks of playing cards, such as conventional 52-card decks or decks that include jokers or bonus cards, or other non-standard decks may be used, may be stored in the memory of the gaming device associated with the shown gaming display 300. In operation, five cards are dealt to the first portion of card positions 311 to generate a first poker hand. Although not shown in this embodiment, this first poker hand may be dealt face-up and evaluated using the displayed poker paytable 302 to provide a first award. However, in other embodiments, as shown in
Referring to
The poker hand 410 includes a first portion of card positions 411, which along with the hold buttons 430 are used to make a 5-card first draw poker hand, and a second portion of card positions 412, which in this embodiment are two additional cards. In operation, five cards are dealt to the first portion of card positions 411. These dealt cards may be held using the hold buttons 430 or other holding mechanisms, and draw cards are drawn to replace any cards not held to generate a first poker hand. The result of this first poker hand is shown in
In some embodiments, this random determination may be made by the processor of the gaming device without any indication to the player as to when the random determination is made. In some of these embodiments, the random determination may be only made if the first 5-card first draw poker hand in the first portion of the card positions 411 includes a poker hand that is associated with an award (i.e., a “winning poker hand”). In other embodiments, two additional cards are always selected at random by the processor (and/or selected using randomly generated numbers from a random number generator) and are only displayed and used if they result in a 7-card second poker hand that is associated with an award (winning poker hand). In some of these embodiments, a second condition or predefined threshold must also be reached prior to displaying the additional cards in the second portion 412 to form a second 7-card poker hand. For example, the first condition may be that the randomly selected additional cards form a winning second poker hand, and the second condition may be another random determination of whether to display those additional cards when they are determined to form a winning second poker hand of 7 cards. The probabilities associated with these one or more random determinations may be used by game designers of the gaming device to fine tune the payback percentage of the game given the wager (and bonus or side wager, if applicable).
In other embodiments, an indication of whether additional cards will be provided may be shown during play of the first poker hand. For example, a subsymbol overlay (not shown in these embodiments, but similar to element 650 as shown in
In this particular embodiment, as shown in
Each of the poker stages 510, 512, 514 include a first portion of card positions 516, which along with the hold buttons 530 are used to make a 5-card first draw poker hands, and a second portion of card positions 518, which in this embodiment respectively includes two additional cards for each poker stage. In operation of this embodiment, the first portion of card positions 516 of the first poker stage all show that cards will be dealt to those positions while the second portion of cards positions 518 are blank to show that cards are not guaranteed in those card positions.
Referring to
In various embodiments, the dealt cards in the first portion of card positions 516 for the first poker stage 510 may then be displayed as a first poker hand. These cards in the first poker hand may be held using the hold buttons 530 or other holding mechanisms. In multi-play embodiments, these held cards may be replicated to the corresponding card positions in the second poker stage 512 and third poker stage 514. In other embodiments, each poker stage may have cards separately dealt and drawn, or another relationship between the stages may exist. After cards are held, draw cards are drawn to replace any cards not held to generate a first poker hands in each of the first, second, and third poker stages 510, 512, 514. These first poker hands of each of the poker stages 510, 512, 514 may be evaluated using a 5-card poker paytable. If any additional cards have been dealt to the second card positions 518 in any of the poker stages 510, 512, 514, these dealt additional cards are revealed to create one or more second poker hands for respective ones of the poker stages along with the five cards in the first portion of cards positions 516. These second poker hands, if any, may be evaluated using a seven card poker paytable, the best 5-card poker hand may be evaluated using the same (or a different) 5-card poker paytable, or a special bonus poker paytable may be used for the evaluation of any second poker hands.

In various other embodiments, a random determination in one poker game of chance may be carried out that determines if additional cards will be provided in the next poker game of chance that is separately wagered upon, or over a subsequent number of next poker games of chance. In yet other embodiments, the additional cards may be provided in one or more future poker games of chance until a bonus terminating condition is reached, such as a set number of poker games of chance (predefined or randomly determined) being reached, a time amount being reached, a terminating symbol being received, a certain card or type of hand being received, or another terminating condition being satisfied.
The foregoing description of the exemplary embodiments has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. For example, the present invention is equally applicable in electronic or mechanical gaming machines, and is also applicable to live table versions of gaming activities that are capable of being played in a table version (e.g., machines involving poker or card games that could be played via table games).
The principles described herein may be applied to other games, such as keno, bingo, etc. For example, in the context of keno, particular number positions (whether associated with positions of the player's identified numbers or not) may be randomly identified with a sub-symbol or otherwise. When the triggering event occurs, one or more of the players' keno numbers may be converted to Wild functionality so that any of the randomly selected keno balls serve as a matching number. Alternatively, or additionally, multipliers or other modifiers may be provided analogously. Similar examples apply to games such as bingo, where a bingo card position may be marked as wild, and the current and/or subsequent bingo games treat the marked position as a free space (similar to the middle position in many bingo games) These and other applications of the enhancement features described herein may be employed.
Some embodiments of the invention have been described above, and in addition, some specific details are shown for purposes of illustrating the inventive principles. However, numerous other arrangements may be devised in accordance with the inventive principles of this patent disclosure. Further, well known processes have not been described in detail in order not to obscure the invention. Thus, while the invention is described in conjunction with the specific embodiments illustrated in the drawings, it is not limited to these embodiments or drawings. Rather, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications, and equivalents that come within the scope and spirit of the inventive principles set out herein and in the appended claims.
This application claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application No. 63/522,063, filed on Jun. 20, 2023, to which priority is claimed pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 119 (e) and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
