Methods, Apparatuses And Systems for Multilayer Gaming
First Claim
1. A gaming apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit that is capable of generating video images;
a user input device;
a value input device; and
a controller operatively coupled to the display unit, the user input device, and the value input device, the controller comprising a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the controller being programmed to determine that a wager has been received from a player via the value input device;
the controller being programmed to cause the display unit to generate an image of a multilayer game, the multilayer game comprising a plurality of layers, each layer having at least one plane with at least one symbol position in which at least one symbol is disposed, at least two layers of the plurality of layers being displayed such that the planes of the at least two layers are not coplanar, and at least one layer of the at least two layers having a plurality of symbol positions in which a plurality of symbols are disposed;
the controller being programmed to determine a game outcome associated with the plurality of symbols disposed in the plurality of symbols positions of the at least one layer;
the controller being programmed to provide a payout according to the game outcome;
the controller being programmed to determine a multilayer game outcome associated with the at least one symbol in each of the at least one symbol positions of the at least two layers; and
the controller being programmed to provide a payout being according to the multilayer game outcome.

Abstract
A gaming method includes displaying an image of a multilayer game including a plurality of layers, each layer having at least one plane with at least one symbol position in which at least one symbol is disposed, at least two layers of the plurality of layers being displayed such that the planes of the at least two layers are not coplanar, and at least one layer of the at least two layers having a plurality of symbol positions in which a plurality of symbols are disposed. The method also includes determining a game outcome associated with the plurality of symbols disposed in the plurality of symbols positions of the at least one layer, and a multilayer game outcome associated with at least one symbol in each of the at least one symbol positions of the at least two layers. Gaming apparatuses and gaming systems are also provided.
