SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR A GAME UTILIZING A WHEEL WITH DYNAMICALLY RESIZABLE GAME SPACES

1 . A system for providing bingo game play, comprising

a bingo game server in communication with a player interface and with a memory device;

a bingo controller in communication with the bingo game server and with the memory device;

a game webserver in communication with the bingo game server; and

the memory device storing bingo game instructions and player interface instructions which, when executed by the bingo game server, direct the bingo game server to perform a method comprising:

determining a set of game numbers of a player for play of a wheel-based game;

determining a set of available game numbers from which a game number will be called for the wheel-based game;

generating a representation of a wheel, wherein each available game number is allocated to a respective segment of the wheel;

calling one of the available game numbers for the wheel-based game; and

modifying the representation of the wheel by removing the respective segment from the representation of the wheel that corresponds to the called game number and expanding a segment of the wheel that is adjacent to the segment that corresponds to the called game number and that corresponds to an available game number.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a scheduler server in communication with the bingo game server and with the bingo broadcaster.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a bingo connection proxy in communication with the bingo broadcaster.

4 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a cloud-based cache in communication with the game webserver.

5 . The system of claim 1 , the memory device storing bingo game instructions and player interface instructions which, when executed by the bingo game server, direct the bingo game server to further perform:

determining an indication of any game numbers of the player that match the one or more called game numbers.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein calling one of the available game numbers comprises spinning the wheel.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein modifying the representation of the wheel comprises allocating the segment that corresponds to the called game number equally between the two adjacent segments.

8 . The system of claim 1 , the memory device storing bingo game instructions and player interface instructions which, when executed by the bingo game server, direct the bingo game server to further perform:

determining an outcome of the wheel-based game based on the called game number; and

providing a payout to the player based on the outcome.

9 . The system of claim 1 , the memory device storing bingo game instructions and player interface instructions which, when executed by the bingo game server, direct the bingo game server to further perform:

determining an indication of a size of the segment that corresponds to the called game number; and

providing a payout to the player based on the indication of the size of the segment that corresponds to the called game number.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the indication of the size indicates a relative size of the segment that corresponds to the called game number with respect to at least one other segment.

11 . The system of claim 1 , the memory device storing bingo game instructions and player interface instructions which, when executed by the bingo game server, direct the bingo game server to further perform:

determining that all of the game numbers of the player have been matched by the called game numbers; and

awarding a payout to the player.

12 . A method, comprising:

determining, by a bingo game server, a set of game numbers of a player for play of a wheel-based game;

determining, by the bingo game server, a set of available game numbers from which a game number will be called for the wheel-based game;

generating, by the bingo game server, a representation of a wheel, wherein each available game number is allocated to a respective segment of the wheel;

calling, by the bingo game server, one of the available game numbers for the wheel-based game; and

modifying the representation of the wheel by removing the respective segment from the representation of the wheel that corresponds to the called game number and expanding a segment of the wheel that is adjacent to the segment that corresponds to the called game number and that corresponds to an available game number.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining, by the bingo game server, an indication of any game numbers of the player that match the one or more called game numbers.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein calling one of the available game numbers comprises spinning the wheel.

15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein modifying the representation of the wheel comprises allocating the segment that corresponds to the called game number equally between the two adjacent segments.

16 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining an outcome of the wheel-based game based on the called game number; and

providing a payout to the player based on the outcome.

17 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining an indication of a size of the segment that corresponds to the called game number; and

providing a payout to the player based on the indication of the size of the segment that corresponds to the called game number.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the indication of the size indicates a relative size of the segment that corresponds to the called game number with respect to at least one other segment.

19 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

determining that all of the game numbers of the player have been matched by the called game numbers; and

awarding a payout to the player.
