Abstract

See full text

A slot machine allows the interaction of objects displayed outside a symbol matrix with objects displayed inside a symbol matrix ('Interactive Symbols') to generate new forms of awards. Interactions include 'bouncing' in which logarithmic functions accounting for the objects' shapes, sizes, and velocities, control the result of two objects colliding inside of the symbol matrix, and 'catching' in which the collision of two objects does not cause a 'bounce' effect, but instead results in the disappearance of one object into the other object. Awards may be issued for each 'bounce,' 'catch' or other interaction of objects inside the symbol matrix, according to an Interactive Symbols award schedule.
