Claims20
A method of operating a gaming system, the method comprising:
- for a first play of a game:
- displaying, by a display device, an award generator comprising a plurality of different levels, each different level comprises a plurality of sections, wherein at least one of the sections of each different level is statically associated with a displayed award component,
- displaying, by the display device, a first configuration of an indicator of the award generator, wherein the first configuration of the indicator comprises a first quantity of indicated sections of the award generator including a first quantity of non-adjacent open sections of a first single level of the award generator each being indicated, and
- displaying, by the display device, a first award, wherein the first award is based on any displayed award component statically associated with the first quantity of indicated sections of the award generator, and
- for a second play of a game:
- displaying, by the display device, the award generator,
- displaying, by the display device, a second, different configuration of the indicator of the award generator, wherein the second configuration of the indicator comprises a second, different quantity of indicated sections of the award generator including a second, different quantity of non-adjacent open sections of a second single level of the award generator each being indicated, and
- displaying, by the display device, a second award, wherein the second award is based on any displayed award component statically associated with the second, different quantity of indicated sections of the award generator.

A method of operating a gaming system, the method comprising:
- responsive to an occurrence of a triggering event:
- displaying, by a display device, an award generator comprising a plurality of levels, each level comprises a plurality of sections, wherein at least one of the sections of each level is statically associated with a displayed award component,
- for each of the plurality of levels of the award generator, randomly determining, by a processor, an orientation of that level of the award generator,
- displaying, by the display device, the randomly determined orientation of each of the levels of the award generator,
- determining, by the processor, an award based on the displayed award components statically associated with any indicated open sections of different levels of the award generator being aligned in accordance with the randomly determined orientation of those different levels, wherein the indicated open sections comprise a first open section of a first level of the plurality of levels that is aligned with a first open section of a second level of the plurality of levels that is aligned with a second open section of the first level of the plurality of levels and the first open section of the first level of the plurality of levels is non-adjacent to the second open section of the first level of the plurality of levels, and
- displaying, by the display device, the determined award.
