Abstract

See full text

Techniques for manipulating a display of reels in a reel-spinning wagering game include accessing data representing a plurality of reels of symbols in a starting set of reels, and one or more replacement reels of symbols. A depiction of at least a portion of each of the reels in the starting set may be displayed on a display screen. User input indicating a wager may be received via a machine-user interface, and a first reel spin may be executed. The depiction on the display screen of at least one reel in the starting set may be replaced with a depiction of at least a portion of at least one of the replacement reels to form a modified set of reels depicted on the display screen. A second reel spin may be executed, and a payout may be determined based on the stopping positions of the reels in the modified set.
