Electronic gaming machine and method for providing a plurality of game outcomes and evaluating patterns of game outcomes to provide additional awards

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• control a display device to display a matrix of game positions, the matrix including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns;
• control the display device to display a plurality outcomes of a plurality of games, each outcome displayed in an associated game position of the matrix of game positions, each outcome being a qualifying outcome or a non-qualifying outcome;
• evaluate the plurality of outcomes to determine whether any combination of qualifying outcomes of the plurality of outcomes forms a qualifying pattern in the matrix of game positions;
• in response to the qualifying pattern being formed in the matrix of game positions, provide an award to a player;
• evaluate each outcome of each game to determine whether each outcome is a winning outcome;
• determine an additional award associated with each winning outcome;
• and
• provide each additional award to the player.

A method comprising:

• controlling, by a processor, a display device to display a matrix of game positions, the matrix including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns;
• controlling, by the processor, the display device to display a plurality randomly determined outcomes of a plurality of games, each outcome displayed in a game position of the matrix of game positions, each outcome being a qualifying outcome or a non-qualifying outcome;
• evaluating, by the processor, the matrix of game positions to determine whether any qualifying outcome of the plurality of outcomes forms a qualifying pattern in the matrix of game positions;
• and
• providing, by the processor, an award if at least one qualifying pattern is formed in the matrix of game positions.
