Abstract:
A gaming machine including a display device and game controller is provided. The display device includes reels having display positions for presenting symbols that include non-blank symbols and blank symbols. The game controller is configured to spin the reels horizontally to obtain a first game outcome including a first arrangement of the symbols at the display positions. In response to a determination that the first arrangement includes blank symbols, the game controller is configured to determine whether horizontally shifting non-blank symbols in either direction with respect to the blank symbols in each reel results in an optimal win. The game controller horizontally shifts the non-blank symbols with respect to the blank symbols in each reel to obtain a second game outcome in response to a determination that the shifting results in the optimal win. The game controller increases a credit balance by an award associated with the optimal win.

Claim (Index 20):
The gaming system of  claim 15 , wherein:\n the non-blank symbols comprise one or more multiplier symbols, and the optimal win, corresponding with a winning combination of non-blank symbols including the one or more multiplier symbols, is multiplied by the one or more multiplier symbols in the winning combination to determine the award associated with the optimal win.
