ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for representing game arrangements by a single number, typically an integer, are described. These game arrangements can be applied to most any game including essentially all games played on gaming machines. Conversions can be made between symbolic representations of game arrangements and numeric representations of game arrangements. These conversions can be made using “ordering factors” such as game symbols and positions of such game symbols.
