Abstract

A method includes receiving a first game play request at a bingo player station when the bingo player station is in a first game state (303) and assigning a result for the first game play request according to a first pattern table (304). The first game state corresponds to a first result indicator state displayed by the bingo player station, and the first pattern table includes a number of first result levels with each first result level corresponding to a respective set of one or more bingo patterns and to one or more first result symbols. The method further includes placing the bingo player station in a second game state (308) responsive to an aspect of the result assigned for the first game play request. The second game state corresponds to a second result indicator state that is graphically different from the first result indicator state.
