Apparatus, systems and methods for facilitating a payout of a gaming device
First Claim
1. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
- causing a gaming device processor to randomly determine, based on a first random number, a first random outcome for a first game play of a primary game conducted at a gaming device, wherein the first game play is initiated in response to receiving, from a player, a first initiation signal and a first wager;
causing the gaming device processor to determine a first payout value associated with the first random outcome, wherein the first payout value is based on a probability of obtaining the first random outcome and the first wager;
after the determination of the first payout value, causing the gaming device processor to determine, based on a second random number, a second random outcome for a second game play of the primary game conducted at the gaming device, wherein the second game play is initiated in response to receiving, from the player, a second initiation signal and a second wager, the receipt of said second wager being independent of the first payout value; and
causing the gaming device processor to determine a second payout value associated with the second random outcome, wherein an amount of the second payout value is based on an amount of the first payout value.

Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, a method provides for determining, based on a first random number, an outcome for a first game play conducted at a gaming device, thereby determining a first outcome and determining an amount to be output as a result of the first outcome, thereby determining a first payout. The first payout is based on a probability of obtaining the first outcome and the first wager. The method further provides for determining, based on a second random number, an outcome for a second game play conducted at the gaming device, thereby determining a second outcome and determining an amount to be output as a result of the second outcome, thereby determining a second payout. The second payout is based on the first payout. In one embodiment both the first and second game plays are initiated in response to receiving, from the player, an initiation signal and a wager.

23. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; and a storage device in communication with the processor and storing instructions adapted to be executed by the processor to; determine, based on a first random number, a first random outcome for a first game play of a primary game conducted at a gaming device, wherein the first game play is initiated in response to receiving, from a player, a first initiation signal and a first wager; determine a first payout value associated with the first random outcome, wherein the first payout value is based on a probability of obtaining the first random outcome and the first wager; after the determination of the first payout value, determine based on a second random number, a second random outcome for a second game play of the primary game conducted at the gaming device, wherein the second game play is initiated in response to receiving, from the player, a second initiation signal and a second wager, the receipt of said second wager being independent of the first payout value; and determine a second payout value associated with the second random outcome, wherein an amount of the second payout value is based on an amount of the first payout value.

24. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions configured to be executed by a gaming device processor to:
-
determine, based on a first random number, a first random outcome for a first game play of a primary game conducted at a gaming device, wherein the first game play is initiated in response to receiving, from a player, a first initiation signal and a first wager; determine a first payout value associated with the first random outcome, wherein the first payout value is based on a probability of obtaining the first random outcome and the first wager; after the determination of the first payout value, determine, based on a second random number, a second random outcome for a second game play of the primary game conducted at the gaming device, wherein the second game play is initiated in response to receiving, from the player, a second initiation signal and a second wager, the receipt of said second wager being independent of the first payout value; and determine a second payout value associated with the second random outcome, wherein an amount of the second payout value is based on an amount of the first payout value.

25. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
-
causing a gaming device processor to determine, based on a first random number, a first random outcome for a first game play of a primary game conducted at a gaming device, wherein the first game play is initiated in response to receiving, from a player, a first initiation signal and a first wager; causing the gaming device processor to determine a first payout value associated with the first random outcome, wherein the first payout value is based on a probability of obtaining the first random outcome and the first wager; causing the gaming device processor to determine, based on a second random number, a second random outcome for a second game play of the primary game conducted at the gaming device, wherein the second game play is initiated in response to receiving a second initiation signal and a second wager, the receipt of said second wager being independent of the first payout value; and causing the gaming device processor to determine a second payout value associated with the second random outcome, wherein an amount of the second payout value is based on an amount of the first payout value and the second payout value is independent of the second random outcome. - View Dependent Claims (26)

27. A gaming device comprising:
-
at least one display device; at least one input device; at least one processor; and at least one memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to; determine whether a game play occurrence of an outcome that is randomly determined as a result of an initiation signal, a wager, and a determination of a random number, is;
(i) independent of, or (ii) dependent upon, a game play parameter based on a different game play occurrence, the different game play occurrence being a result of at least one different initiation signal, at least one different wager, and at least one different random number; andif it is determined that the outcome is dependent upon the game play parameter that is based on the different game play occurrence, determine, based on the game play parameter that is based on the different game play occurrence, a payout value for the game play occurrence of the randomly determined outcome. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
