Claims20
A gaming system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause a display, by a display device, of symbol displays, each of the symbol displays associated with a first quantity of symbol display positions;
- cause a display, by the display device, of a triggering event comprising a plurality of award symbols on the symbol displays at a plurality of the symbol display positions;
- cause a display, by the display device, for each of the symbol displays, of an enlarged symbol display based on that symbol display and a symbol display pattern matching feature, an indication of active symbol display positions associated with the enlarged symbol display, and an indication of non-active symbol display positions associated with the enlarged symbol display;
- and
- cause a display, by the display device, of a symbol accumulation sequence comprising a plurality of activations of the enlarged symbol displays.
