Trajectory-based 3-D games of chance for video gaming machines

摘要

Trajectory-based games of chance are described that may be implemented on a video gaming machine. In a trajectory-based game of chance, a trajectory of a game object may be generated in a 3-D gaming environment. A wager may be made on an aspect of the game object's trajectory in the gaming environment such as a termination location for the trajectory of the game object. The aspect of the game object's trajectory may occur according to a known probability. Hence, an award for the trajectory-based game of chance may be proportional to the probability of the aspect of the game object's trajectory occurring.

主权项

1. A gaming system comprising:
at least one display device; at least one input device; and a controller configured to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to: (a) after receiving a wager from a player, initiate a play of a trajectory-based game of chance; (b) generate a trajectory of a game object for a displayed gaming environment for said play of the trajectory-based game of chance; (c) determine, via the controller, a game outcome of said play of the trajectory-based game of chance, wherein said game outcome is not determined until the game object reaches a final state of its trajectory in the displayed gaming environment; and (d) display a game outcome presentation for said play of the trajectory-based game of chance, said game outcome presentation including a display of the game object along its trajectory in the displayed gaming environment.
