Benefits of technology
The patent describes a gaming machine that is programmed to offer a free play game to players based on certain trigger conditions. The machine can determine which trigger condition is satisfied and provide multiple opportunities for players to win the game. The results of the game are ranked based on their payout amount and are displayed on a screen for players to see. This allows players to make informed decisions on when to stop playing the game and improve their chances of winning. Overall, the technology enhances the player experience and increases the likelihood of successful gambling transactions.
Problems solved by technology
Moreover, despite high player anticipation, such gaming machines typically present short bonus games that last a few seconds, or cumulatively a few minutes.
This causes diminished player interest and results in a lower likelihood of the gaming machine being utilized for a long period of time.

Embodiment Construction
[0011]Exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for use in presenting consecutively ascending awards on free plays on a gaming machine (e.g., free spins on a mechanical or electronic reel game) are described herein. Such embodiments may enhance an entertainment aspect of the game by providing consecutively ascending award amounts. In an exemplified embodiment, the base game is a mechanical reel-spinning game, and the bonus game is a free-spin feature. Although the game system features are described using this configuration, the game system is not limited to this one game type. The consecutively ascending awards feature can be implemented on a standalone game machine or in a network of a game server connected to multiple game machines. The game server implementation is advantageous in that there is a single point of accounting control so that all extra games awarded, winning and non-winning, can be stored and audited for legal compliance. The server implementation also allows for ...

For example, a bonus game may include free plays that are associated with a probability of a payout and do not require a player to deposit money or credits to the gaming machine. A bonus game may be triggered by a condition, such as a particular combination of symbols associated with a base play outcome in the base game.[0003]Executing free plays creates free play outcomes, which may be winning (e.g., associated with a payout) or non-winning. At least some known gaming machines present both outcomes to the player. The player does not have a guarantee of an increasing award, regardless of symbol combinations, bet amounts wagered, or the like. Moreover, despite high player anticipation, such gaming machines typicall...
