Abstract
A method and apparatus for a video gaming machine is disclosed. The method comprises a player placing at least one wager in order to be eligible to activate at least one payline. A grid of symbol boxes is displayed on the screen. A random array of symbols is displayed within the symbol boxes from a predetermined set of symbols. The set of symbols includes at least one special symbol that has a dual functionality. Firstly, a special symbol acts as a non-valuable payline indicator symbol that determines a payline and activates the payline if the player has placed a wager on said payline. Secondly, the special symbol acts as a valuable wild symbol in any activated payline differing from the payline determined by its payline indicator functionality. The symbol array is evaluated, and wins are paid according to a predetermined paytable.
