Abstract

A gaming system comprising a regulated gaming machine primarily dedicated to playing at least one casino wagering game. The gaming machine includes an electronic display device and a value input device and game-logic circuitry configured to display, on the electronic display device, a plurality of symbol-bearing reels, each reel having a plurality of reel positions occupied by symbols. The symbols on at least one of the reels includes a symbol clump occupying two or more adjacent reel positions of the plurality of reel positions of the at least one of the reels. The game-logic circuitry is further configured to detect, via the value input device, a physical item associated with a monetary value that establishes a credit balance, receive an input indicative of a wager covered by the credit balance, spin and stop the plurality of reels to land a subset of the symbols on the reels in visual association with an array of positions. In response to the symbol clump landing at least partially in the array, the game-logic circuitry is further configured to modify an attribute of the array in accordance with an extent to which the symbol clump lands in the array.
