Methods, devices and systems for virtual contributions and bounties in regulated casino games

摘要

A method of determining rewards due to a player playing a regulated gaming machine may include configuring player interaction with a plurality of games assets to give rise to first Wagering Opportunities and a selectively available second Wagering Opportunity. The game may be further configured to have an overall minimum return to player (RTP) and an overall maximum RTP. Using the accepted funds and a first payout schedule that defines a first RTP that is at least as great as the minimum overall RTP, it may be determined whether and how much to reward the player whenever the player interacts with the first Wagering Opportunities to generate first Wagering Events. For at least some of the first Wagering Events generated, a portion of a reward due to the player may be virtually contributed to a bounty. Only when the player successfully interacts with the available second Wagering Opportunity, a second Wagering Event is generated and the player is rewarded an amount at least equal to the bounty according to a second payout schedule that defines a second RTP that is greater than the overall minimum RTP, without exceeding the overall maximum RTP of the game.
