Title: Concurrent display and interaction between game types on an electronic gaming device
Inventor: IMUTAN CASH

Abstract: A method may include determining a first base game outcome of a first instance of a 
base game; controlling a display system to present the first base game outcome in a first 
window of one or more display devices of the display system; and in response determining 
whether a first feature game trigger condition of a feature game exist. Then in response to 
this determining, controlling the display system to present a first feature game in a second 
window of the one or more display devices concurrently with presenting the base game in 
the first window of the one or more display devices; determining a second base game 
outcome of a second instance of the base game; determining a first feature game outcome of 
a first instance of the feature game; controlling the display system to present the second 
base game outcome in the first window; and controlling the display system to present the 
first feature game outcome in the second window.

allowing a base game and a feature game to proceed together on the same display. Other 
innovations include having multiple feature games be presented at the same time as a base 
game. Further innovations may include determining that a feature game trigger condition 
has occurred in either the base game or feature game and activating another feature game. In 
another example innovation, symbols from the outcome of a base game may be copied to a 
feature game as well as the reverse or copying from feature games to feature games.  
[0007] For example, according to a first set of innovations described here, a computer 
system (e.g., a game controller) is configured to perform back end operations to control a UI 
of a gaming device. For example, the game controller may execute instructions which cause 
the game controller to perform various operations for concurrent display of a base game and 
one or more feature games on a display. For example, the game controller may be caused to 
determine a first base game outcome of a first instance of a base game based on a random 
number generator outcome. The game controller may be caused to control the display 
system to present the first base game outcome in a first window of the one or more display 
devices. In response to the first base game outcome, the game controller may be caused to 
determine whether a first feature game trigger condition of a feature game exists. When the 
first feature game trigger condition of a feature game exists, the game controller may be 
caused to control the display system to present a first feature game in a second window of 
the one or more display devices concurrently with presenting the base game in the first 
window of the one or more display devices. Additionally, the game controller may be 
caused to determine a second base game outcome of a second instance of the base game and 
determine a first feature game outcome of a first instance of the feature game. The game 
controller may then control the display system to simultaneously present the second base 
game outcome in the first window and present the first feature game outcome in the second 
window.  
[0008] As an example, according to a second set of innovations described herein, a 
computer system is configured to perform UI-focused operations to control the UI of an 
electronic gaming device. The UI-focused operations include displaying, in a first window 
of one of more display devices of a display system, a first base game outcome of a first 
instance of a base game. In an example, the first base game outcome may include symbols
