Gaming system and a method of gaming
View Patent ↗A gaming system comprising a symbol selector that selects, in a first play round, a first symbol to form a part of a first player hand including a plurality of symbols and a second symbol to form a part of a second player hand including a plurality of symbols, and in each subsequent play round, a replacement symbol for modifying one of the first player hand or second player hand. An outcome generator determines for each play round whether the game is completed or should proceed to a subsequent play round based on a ranking of one of the first player hand and the second player hand being higher than the other of the first player hand and the second player hand for at least two consecutive play rounds. The ranking of the first and second player hands is derived from the symbols of the hands.
1. A method of gaming for use with a gaming machine and a game controller, the method comprising:
conducting via the game controller a first play round comprising:
selecting at least one first symbol to form at least part of a first player hand comprised of a plurality of symbols;
selecting at least one second symbol to form at least part of a second player hand comprised of a plurality of symbols;
determining which of the hands has a lower ranking from the symbols of the hands; conducting via the game controller at least one subsequent play round comprising:
modifying the current lower ranked hand by replacing at least one symbol with at least one replacement symbol;
determining which of the first player hand and second player hand is ranked lower subsequent to the revision; and
determining whether the game is completed or whether the game should proceed to a further subsequent play round based on a ranking of one of the first and second player hands being higher than the other of the first and second player hands for at least two consecutive play rounds.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 , and further comprising allocating a prize to a first player if the first player hand is ranked higher when the game is completed.
3. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and further comprising selecting a plurality of first symbols and a plurality of second symbols that respectively form the whole first and second player hands.
4. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and further comprising selecting at least one shared symbol shared by the first and second players to form their respective hands.
5. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and further comprising determining a game to be completed if one hand is higher for two consecutive play rounds.
6. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and wherein the symbols are symbols on dice.
7. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and wherein each player obtains five symbols to form a hand.
8. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and wherein if the first and second player hands have an equivalent ranking, the game is completed as a draw.
9. A method as claimed in claim 2 , and wherein if the first and second player hands have an equivalent ranking, both the first and second players obtain at least one replacement symbol.
10. One or more non-transitory computer readable mediums embodying Computer program code which when executed by a computer causes the computer to carry out a computer implemented gaming method comprising:
conducting a first play round comprising: selecting at least one first symbol to form at least part of a first player hand comprised of a plurality of symbols;
selecting at least one second symbol to form at least part of a second player hand comprised of a plurality of symbols;
determining which of the hands has a lower ranking from the symbols of the hands; conducting at least one subsequent play round comprising:
modifying the current lower ranked hand by replacing at least one symbol with at least one replacement symbol;
determining which of the first player hand and second player hand is ranked lower subsequent to the revision; and
determining whether the game is completed or whether the game should proceed to a further subsequent play round based on a ranking of one of the first and second player hands being higher than the other of the first and second player hands for at least two consecutive play rounds.
