Method of gaming, a game controller and a gaming system
View Patent ↗In one example, there is provided a method of gaming comprising initiating play, conducting a feature game in response to a feature trigger condition being met, providing at least two alternative continuations which may be accessed if a further trigger condition is met during the feature game, determining which of the alternative continuations to apply upon the further trigger condition being met, and continuing play with the determined continuation.
1. A game controller for a gaming system operable to play a base game and a feature game, and having a non-transitory memory having data indicative of the base game, the feature game, and a plurality of alternative game play continuations, wherein said plurality of alternative game play continuations provide alternative plays of the feature game, wherein each alternative game play continuation configures the feature game to provide an alternative game play, the game controller comprising:
a base game module configured to initiate play of the base game;
a feature game module configured to conduct the feature game in response to a first trigger condition being met during play of the base game;
a continuation module configured to evaluate a current state of the feature game, and determine which of said alternative game play continuations to access when the second trigger condition is met during play of the feature game including making an optimal selection of one of alternative game play continuations based on the current state of the feature game; and
continue play of the feature game to provide the alternative game play based on the determined alternative game play continuation.
2. A game controller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory memory further includes data indicative of at least one game rule, and wherein the continuation module is further configured to determine which of said alternative game play continuations to access based further on the at least one game rule.
3. A gaming system operable to play a base game and a feature game, the gaming system comprising:
a non-transitory memory having data indicative of the base game, the feature game, and a plurality of alternative game play continuations, wherein said plurality of alternative game play continuations provide alternative plays of the feature game, wherein each alternative game play continuation configures the feature game to provide an alternative game play;
a display for displaying game play to a player; and
a game controller configured to:
initiate play of the base game on the display;
conduct the feature game in response to a first trigger condition being met during play of the base game;
determine if a second trigger condition is met during play of the feature game;
determine which of the alternative game play continuations to access when the second trigger condition is met during play of the feature game, wherein said game controller comprises a continuation module configured to evaluate a current state of the feature game and make an optimal selection of one of alternative game play continuations based on the current state of the feature game; and
continue play of the feature game to provide the alternative game play with the determined alternative game play continuation.
