Gaming Machine Free Play Filtering for Winning-Only Bonus Outcomes

The patent extracts and removes non-winning free play outcomes from the presentation to the player. The gaming machine executes free plays and determines outcomes, but selectively presents only winning outcomes while suppressing non-winning ones, thereby eliminating the harmful effect of player disappointment while maintaining complete execution of all free plays

The patent introduces an intermediary filtering mechanism between the free play outcome determination and player presentation. The gaming machine acts as an intermediary that receives all free play outcomes, evaluates them, and selectively transmits only winning outcomes to the player interface, thereby mediating between complete outcome execution and positive player experience

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of different types of information. Winning outcomes are presented with full visibility and celebration, while non-winning outcomes are suppressed from player view. This selective information presentation maintains player engagement through positive reinforcement while still executing all free plays internally

Instead of presenting all outcomes and allowing player disappointment, the patent inverts the approach by presenting only positive outcomes. Rather than showing the complete picture including failures, the system showcases only successes, thereby inverting the traditional transparency model to achieve enhanced player engagement
