We invented a new slot mechanic. Can we patent the math model so nobody copies it?

Generally No: Pure math is hard to patent. You can patent the "method and system" in some US jurisdictions, but it's expensive.

Trade Secret: It's better to keep the math hidden (server-side) as a Trade Secret than to publish it in a patent application.

Trademark the Name: You can't patent "cascading reels," but you can trademark the name (like "Megaways") to brand it.
