Abstract
A video gaming machine has M reels, each displaying N symbols when stopped. After a spin of the virtual reels, an initial array of randomly selected symbols is displayed. A processor randomly highlights a symbol in the array that has the feature of swapping positions with any other displayed adjacent symbol. The player has the option to swap the selected symbol with any adjacent symbol by swiping it or touching a displayed arrow. An award is then based on any resulting winning combinations after the swap. The swapping feature may occur only if there are no winning symbol combinations after the spin or may occur for every game. Awards may be granted after the spin and after the swap, or awards may only be granted only after the swap. Therefore, there is an amount of player strategy in the direction of the swap or deciding not to swap at all.
