3D ENHANCEMENTS TO GAME COMPONENTS IN SYSTEM INCLUDING 3d GAME COMPONENTS WITH ADDITIONAL SYMBOLS

摘要

A computer-implemented method for enhancing game components in a gaming system using various three-dimensional enhancements. The three-dimensional enhancements may involve stacks of gaming components to provide and integrate additional symbols, multi-faceted gaming components, multi-faceted gaming surfaces running multiple games in parallel, items animating to simulate real-world physics, merging components, shapes to push up or down gaming components to create stacks, and so on. Further example three-dimensional enhancements are described.

主权项

1. An electronic gaming machine for providing game components with three-dimensional (3D) enhancement, the machine comprising:
at least one processor; at least one persistent data store; at least one receiver to receive game data for storage in the at least one persistent data store; a display device configured with a user interface to display at least one of a row and a column of game components along a plane in accordance with a set of game rules for a given game, each one of the game components having an original symbol associated thereto, and at least one of the game components as a 3D game component in relation to the plane of the display device, wherein the 3D game component provides additional functionality to the given game; and wherein the at least one processor is configured to associate at least one additional symbol with the 3D game component; and integrate the at least one additional symbol into the given game.
