Abstract:
1. A video slot machine comprising: a user spin actuator configured for receiving user input; a display including a representation of a two-dimensional matrix of symbol display cells, each one of said cells containing a displayed symbol that is selected from a predetermined sequence of symbols associated with a separate one of said virtual reels; a pattern selector configured for determining a two-dimensional spatial pattern of at least one of speed, start timing and stop timing with respect to said cells according to said user input; and a reel rotation controller configured to be responsive to said user input for independently rotating each one of said virtual reels for said cells, wherein said controller is configured to cause said display to present independent reel states in all of said cells with an animation of rotation, and to stop said rotation at a final outcome symbol for each of said cells, wherein said animation of rotation is controlled to follow said two-dimensional spatial pattern with respect to said cells.
