Abstract
A game outcome generator for a gaming machine is configured with first and second outcome generators. One of the two outcome generators is selected to generate a game outcome for each game. The first outcome generator selects a game result and then selects or generates game data which corresponds to the selected result, such as by selecting a result and associated game data from one or more templates of results and associated game data. The second outcome generator selects game data and then determines the result which corresponds to the selected game data. The game data may comprise slot symbols or reel stops and the results may comprise losing outcomes having no award or winning outcomes having awards of one or more credits.
