Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for providing mutable awards in gaming devices. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to include processes where various properties, functions, characteristics, displays, or other award components have some dynamic variability between game play events on a gaming system or within a gaming device. Although not all, or even one, of the award components needs to be changed or mutated between game play events, the processes are configured to allow such award components to be changed or mutated within a predefined time frame, within a defined game event, or within another measurable criterion.

Claim (Index 12):
A gaming device comprising:\n a display including a video screen having a game play grid to display game outcomes of gaming events, and a messaging portion to display a mutable award including a first mutable component and a second mutable component; a player interface including at least one button, the button configured to generate a signal in response to being activated; a wager input device structured to identify and validate currency or currency based tickets; secured circuitry operable to generate random numbers; and game circuitry operable to:\n receive a first game initiation signal, \n determine an outcome for a first gaming event, \n display the determined first game outcome in the game play grid of the display, \n evaluate the determined first game outcome to identify winning symbol combinations, \n provide awards based on the evaluation of the first game outcome, \n select a value for at least one of the first mutable component and the second mutable component, \n display the mutable award with the at least one selected value in the messaging portion of the display, \n receive a second game initiation signal, \n determine an outcome for a second gaming event, \n display the determined second game outcome in the game play grid of the display, \n evaluate the determined second game outcome to identify winning symbol combinations, \n evaluate the mutable award to identify whether an award triggering criterion has been satisfied, \n implement the mutable award utilizing at least one of the values of the first mutable component and the second mutable component, and \n provide awards based on the evaluation of the second game outcome and the implementation of the mutable award.
