Abstract
A slot machine game includes connected paygroups in a symbol array that causes prizes to be awarded, as an alternative or supplement to traditional paylines. The connected paygroups are defined in a reel spin result by counting symbols of a designated type that are contiguous horizontally or vertically. Preferably the designated type is matching symbols. The connected paygroups may be enhanced by wild symbols increasing their size or linking two or more groups to form a larger single group of contiguous symbols. To receive an award, groups must meet a minimum designated size. Players can wager on different sets of connected paygroup sizes like traditional games allow wagering for numbers of paylines. Bonus rounds are provided with special features that enhance connected paygroup sizes.
