Parameter adjustment in a wagering game

Abstract

Apparatus, systems, architectures, and methods provide instrumentality to control adjustment of a parameter in a wagering game, where the adjustment is responsive to a playing feature selected for the wagering game and the wagering game is adapted to be initiated from another wagering game.

1 . A method comprising:
 identifying a selected playing feature for a second wagering game, the second wagering game initiated from a first wagering game;   adjusting a parameter in the second wagering game in response to the selected playing feature.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein adjusting a parameter includes adjusting an expected value of the second wagering game. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein adjusting an expected value of the second wagering game includes determining a completion of an additional wager in the first wagering game. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the method includes initiating the second wagering game after determination of the selected playing feature. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying a selected playing feature for a second wagering game includes identifying a selected number of spins for the second wagering game. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying a selected playing feature for a second wagering game includes identifying a length of time for running the second wagering game. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying a selected playing feature for a second wagering game includes identifying a selected feature for a bonus wagering game, the bonus wagering game initiated from a base wagering game. 
   
   
       8 . A machine-readable medium having machine-executable instructions that, when performed by a machine, cause the machine to:
 identify a selected playing feature for a second wagering game, the second wagering game initiated from a first wagering game;   adjust a parameter in the second wagering game in response to the selected playing feature.   
   
   
       9 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein to adjust a parameter includes adjusting an expected value of the second wagering game. 
   
   
       10 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein to adjust a parameter includes determining a completion of an additional wager in the first wagering game. 
   
   
       11 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the instructions include initiating the second wagering game based on a determination of the selected playing feature. 
   
   
       12 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein to identify a selected playing feature for a second wagering game includes identifying a selected number of spins for the second wagering game, identifying a length of time for running the second wagering game, or a combination of identifying the selected number of spins and the length of time for running the second wagering game. 
   
   
       13 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein to identify a selected playing feature for a second wagering game includes identifying a selected feature for a bonus wagering game, the bonus wagering initiated from a base wagering game. 
   
   
       14 . An apparatus comprising:
 a portal to control adjustment of a parameter in a second wagering game, the second wagering game initiated from a first wagering game, the first wagering game being correlated to a wagering game unit operable to receive a wager, the adjustment of the parameter in the second wagering game being responsive to a selected playing feature for the second wagering game.   
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the parameter includes an expected value of the second wagering game. 
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein selected playing feature includes a selected number of spins for the second wagering game. 
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein selected playing feature includes a length of time for running the second wagering game. 
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the first wagering game includes a base wagering game and the second wagering game includes a bonus wagering game. 
   
   
       19 . A system comprising:
 a wagering game unit operable to receive a wager in association with a first wagering game;   a portal to control adjustment of a parameter in a second wagering game, the second wagering game initiated from the first wagering game, the adjustment of the parameter in the second wagering game being responsive to a selected playing feature for the second wagering game; and   a communication structure to couple the wagering game unit to the portal.   
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the selected playing feature includes a number of spins in the second wagering game. 
   
   
       21 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the selected playing feature includes a length of time for running the second wagering game. 
   
   
       22 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the parameter includes an expected value of the second wagering game. 
   
   
       23 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the first wagering game includes a base wagering game and the second wagering game includes a bonus wagering game. 
   
   
       24 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the communication structure includes an interface to operate with a wireless network 
   
   
       25 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the wagering game unit and the portal are remote from each other.
