Independently randomly generated different features associated with different activators
Gaming systems and methods configured to independently generate, display, and provide different features and enhanced features in association with activators during plays of a game, and which includes reconfiguring one or more of the pots, one or more of the features associated with one or more of the pots, one or more of the activators associated with one or more of the pots, and/or one or more of the chances of activating one or more of the features for one or more plays of a game based on an enhanced wager amount for a play of the game.
1 . A gaming system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
cause a display, by a display device, of pots;
cause a display, by a display device, of symbol displays associated with but separate from the pots, the symbol displays comprising activators respectively associated with the pots;
cause a display, by the display device, of indications of features respectively associated with the pots;
cause a display, by the display device, of a first activation of the symbol displays associated with a non-enhanced amount, wherein the display comprises a display, by the display device, of one of the activators on one of the symbol displays;
cause a display, by the display device, in association with the first activation of the symbol displays, of one of:
an indication of said activator resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, and an indication that the feature associated with the pot is an activated feature; and
an indication of said activator not resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, and an indication of a change to an activator occurrence indicator associated with the pot;
cause a display, by the display device, of a subsequent activation of the symbol displays associated with an enhanced amount, wherein the display comprises a display, by the display device, of an indication of a reconfiguration associated with one of the pots, one of the features, or one of the activators, and of one of the activators on one of the symbol displays; and
cause a display, by the display device, in association of the subsequent activation of the symbol displays, of one of:
an indication of said activator resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, and an indication that the feature associated with the pot is an activated feature; and
an indication of said activator not resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, and an indication of a change to an activator occurrence indicator associated with the pot.
2 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration is associated with all of the pots.
3 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration is associated with all of the features.
4 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration is associated with all of the activators.
5 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration makes one of the pots less likely to be activated and another one of the pots more likely to be activated.
6 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration enhances at least one of the features.
7 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration guarantees a pot will be activated after a quantity of activators occur in association with the pot.
8 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the pots are perceived persistent pots.
9 . The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the pots are actual persistent pots.
10 . A gaming system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
cause a display, by a display device, of pots;
cause a display, by a display device, of symbol displays associated with but separate from the pots, the symbol displays comprising activators respectively associated with the pots;
cause a display, by the display device, of indications of features respectively associated with the pots;
cause a display, by the display device, of a first activation of the symbol displays, wherein the display comprises a display, by the display device, of one of the activators on one of the symbol displays; and
cause a display, by the display device, in association with the first activation of the symbol displays, of one of:
an indication of said activator not resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, and an indication of a change to an activator occurrence indicator associated with the pot; and
an indication of said activator resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, an indication that the feature associated with the pot is an activated feature, and a feature purchase interface that comprises an indication of a first enhanced amount associated with a first reconfiguration that comprises an activation of a first one of the other features.
11 . The gaming system of claim 10 , wherein the feature purchase interface comprises an indication of a second enhanced amount associated with a second reconfiguration that comprises an activation of a second one of the other features.
12 . The gaming system of claim 11 , wherein the feature purchase interface comprises an indication of a third enhanced amount associated with a third reconfiguration that comprises an activation of the first one of the other features and the second one of the other features.
13 . The gaming system of claim 10 , wherein the feature purchase interface comprises an indication of another enhanced amount associated with another reconfiguration that comprises an activation of all of the other features.
14 . The gaming system of claim 10 , wherein the pots are perceived persistent pots.
15 . The gaming system of claim 10 , wherein the pots are actual persistent pots.
16 . A gaming system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
cause a display, by a display device, of pots;
cause a display, by a display device, of symbol displays associated with but separate from the pots, the symbol displays comprising activators respectively associated with the pots;
cause a display, by the display device, of indications of features respectively associated with the pots;
cause a display, by the display device, of a first activation of the symbol displays, wherein the display comprises a display, by the display device, of one of the activators on one of the symbol displays; and
cause a display, by the display device, in association with the first activation of the symbol displays, of one of:
an indication of said activator not resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, and an indication of a change to an activator occurrence indicator associated with the pot; and
an indication of said activator resulting in an activation of the pot associated with the activator, an indication that the feature associated with the pot is an activated feature, and a feature risk interface that comprises an indication of a first enhanced amount associated with a first reconfiguration that comprises a risk of the activated feature.
17 . The gaming system of claim 16 , wherein the first reconfiguration comprises a risk of the activated feature for activation of one of the other features.
18 . The gaming system of claim 16 , wherein the first reconfiguration comprises a risk of the activated feature for activation of all of the features.
19 . The gaming system of claim 16 , wherein the pots are perceived persistent pots.
20 . The gaming system of claim 16 , wherein the pots are actual persistent pots.
