Abstract

Claims (39)

1. An electronic gaming device comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

a processor configured to receive a first set of bingo ball values from an external server, the processor configured to display via the display a first image based on the first set of bingo ball values and a first mapped bingo value index, the processor configured to determine a first payout based on the first image and a signal, where the signal indicates that there is no redraw, and the processor configured to draw a second set of bingo ball values based on a redraw signal initiated by a player and where the redraw signal initiates the drawing of the second set of bingo ball values;

wherein the first set of bingo values are generated external to the electronic gaming device via the external server; and

wherein the second set of bingo values are generated internal to the electronic gaming device via the processor.

2. The electronic gaming device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to display a second image based on the second set of bingo ball values and at least one of the first mapped bingo value index and a second mapped bingo value index.

3. The electronic gaming device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a second payout based on the second image.

4. The electronic gaming device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to display a second image based on the second set of bingo ball values and a second mapped bingo value index.

5. The electronic gaming device of claim 4 , wherein the first mapped bingo value index and the second mapped bingo value index are different.

6. The electronic gaming device of claim 4 , wherein one or more images relate to a non-bingo game.

7. The electronic gaming device of claim 6 , wherein the non-bingo game is at least one of poker, blackjack, roulette, and baccarat.

8. A method of providing gaming options via an electronic gaming device comprising:

drawing a first set of bingo ball values via an external server based on a game window determination;

receiving the first set of bingo ball values at the electronic gaming device;

mapping the first set of bingo ball values to a first bingo index value;

generating a first image based on the first bingo index value;

displaying the first image;

determining a first payout based on the first image and a signal when the signal indicates that there is no redraw; and

drawing a second set of bingo ball values based on the signal indicating that a redraw request has been initiated by a player;

wherein the first set of bingo values are generated external to the electronic gaming device via the external server; and

wherein the second set of bingo values are generated internal to the electronic gaming device via a processor located in the electronic gaming device.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising mapping the second set of bingo ball values to a second bingo index value.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising generating and displaying a second image based on the second bingo index value.

11. A method of providing gaming options comprising:

generating via one or more server processors a first bingo value index;

generating a first bingo draw via an external server;

mapping the first bingo value index to game play data;

generating a second bingo value index;

generating a second bingo draw via an electronic gaming device;

mapping the second bingo value index to game play; and

storing at least one of the bingo value index, a mapped bingo value index, and a mapped game play data;

wherein the first set of bingo values are generated external to the electronic gaming device via the external server; and

wherein the second set of bingo values are generated internal to the electronic gaming device via the processor located within the electronic gaming device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the game play data is a non-bingo game play data.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the non-bingo game play data relates to at least one of a poker game, a blackjack game, a roulette game, and a baccarat game.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising generating one or more images based on at least one of the bingo value index, the mapped bingo value index, and the mapped game play data.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising storing the one or more images.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second bingo value index is utilized for at least a partial retriggering event.
