Claim 7:
8. An electronic method of gaming implemented using a gaming system, the gaming system including a cabinet, a display device supported by the cabinet and configured to display an electronic game, a random number generator, a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable memory configured to store a set of symbols, and a game controller enclosed within the cabinet, the method comprising:
selecting a first plurality of symbols and a second plurality of symbols from the stored set of symbols based on a first random number generated by a random number generator, the first plurality of symbols including a first symbol stack having a full stack of jackpot symbols, the second plurality of symbols including a second symbol stack having at least two adjacent particular symbols;
controlling the display device to display the first plurality of symbols in a first column and the second plurality of symbols in a second column, thereby presenting an initial unmodified outcome;
determining that a symbol change condition is satisfied, the symbol change condition being an appearance, in the initial unmodified outcome, of the full stack of jackpot symbols of the first symbol stack in conjunction with the second symbol stack of at least two adjacent particular symbols;
controlling the display device to display a replacement of the second symbol stack with a third symbol stack of jackpot symbols, thereby converting the initial unmodified outcome into a modified outcome based on the replacement; and
generating a jackpot award based on the modified outcome.
