REGULATED CASINO GAMES HAVING PLAYER-SELECTABLE DIFFICULTY LEVELS AND ASSOCIATED RETURN TO PLAYER PERCENTAGES (RTPS)

摘要

A computer-implemented method of determining rewards due to a player playing a game on a regulated gaming machine may comprise providing a game configured to provide a player-selectable choice of difficulty levels; associating a respective maximum Return to Player (RTP) for each of the difficulty levels, and at least one pay schedule for each of the maximum RTPs; accepting funds from a player; receiving a player selection of one of the difficulty levels; configuring the game to enable wagers using the accepted funds and a selected pay schedule(s) such that amounts returned to the player are selectively between a minimum RTP and the maximum RTP associated with the player-selected difficulty level; enabling game play of the game as configured, and receiving inputs from the player. When the received player inputs are associated with less successful game play, the player is rewarded with amounts that are closer to a minimum RTP and when the player inputs are associated with comparatively more successful game play, the player is rewarded with amounts that are closer to the maximum RTP associated with the player-selected difficulty level.
