Abstract:
Various embodiments are disclosed concerning games that use both 2D and 3D play areas. Various embodiments concern representing a 3D structure composed of a plurality of 3D shapes having a plurality of faces, presenting a plurality of elements, marking the plurality of faces and the elements, identifying a first set of one or more combinations of corresponding markings, moving the shapes of the three dimensional structure relative to the elements, and identifying a second set of one or more combinations of corresponding markings, each of the combinations of corresponding markings from the first set and the second set composed of markings from at least one of the elements and multiple faces of the shapes.

Claim (Index 20):
A gaming device comprising:\n a display including a video screen having a game play grid showing portions of a plurality of game reels, where each of the plurality of game reels respectively include a plurality of three-dimensional game elements having six sides that collectively form a three-dimensional structure having six sides, where the three-dimensional structure includes at least three layers of the game elements in a depth direction, where the three-dimensional structure includes at least three adjacent game elements in a vertical direction, at least three adjacent game elements in a horizontal direction, and at least three game elements in the depth direction, where sides of the plurality of game elements are configured to display game symbols; a player interface including at least one button, the button configured to generate a signal in response to being activated; a memory configured to store a credit amount; a wager input device structured to receive physical items associated with currency values; and a processor operable to:\n receive a signal indicating receipt of a physical item associated with a currency value; \n increase the credit amount stored in the memory based on the currency value associated with the received physical item; \n receive a game initiation signal including a wager amount, the wager amount deducted from the credit amount stored in the memory; \n select symbols to be initially displayed on the display device for each of the plurality of game reels; \n evaluate initial symbol combinations formed from symbols displayed on the plurality of game reels; \n remove at least some of the three-dimensional game elements in a first layer to reveal additional three-dimensional game elements in a second layer; and \n evaluate second symbol combinations formed from symbols displayed on the plurality of game reels after removing at least some of the three-dimensional game elements in the first layer.
