Abstract:
Certain embodiments provide for replacing all regular symbols located in respective symbol positions comprising a predetermined set of symbol positions of a symbol matrix (e.g., all the regular symbols on a reel of a reeled slot machine-type game) with at least one special symbol (e.g., a wild symbol which may be output as taking up the entirety of the reel) if the predetermined set of symbol positions (e.g., the symbol positions comprising the reel) satisfy a qualifying condition. In one embodiment the qualifying condition is that a threshold number of symbols have been removed from (or replaced on) the predetermined set of symbol positions within a predetermined timeframe or game event (e.g., that a threshold number of symbols have been removed from a particular reel during a cascade feature).
