Game outcome generator for a gaming machine
First Claim
1. A gaming machine having a game outcome generator comprising:
- a controller;
at least one game information display device;
at least one player input device;
machine-readable code, fixed in a tangible medium and executable by said controller, configured to;
select either a first game outcome generator or a second game outcome generator;
if said first game outcome generator is selected, generate a game outcome comprising selecting a game result and then selecting game data defining an outcome which corresponds to said result and to output said game outcome;
andif said second game outcome generator is selected, generate a game outcome comprising selecting game data and then determining a result corresponding to that result and to output said game outcome;
andmachine-readable code executable by said controller to cause said controller to cause said at least one game outcome display device to present said game outcome generated by said first or second game outcome generator and awarding any award associated with said game outcome.

Abstract
A game outcome generator for a gaming machine is configured with first and second outcome generators. One of the two outcome generators is selected to generate a game outcome for each game. The first outcome generator selects a game result and then selects or generates game data which corresponds to the selected result, such as by selecting a result and associated game data from one or more templates of results and associated game data. The second outcome generator selects game data and then determines the result which corresponds to the selected game data. The game data may comprise slot symbols or reel stops and the results may comprise losing outcomes having no award or winning outcomes having awards of one or more credits.
