摘要

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for electronic gaming are disclosed. In a first aspect, a method may include generating a plurality of reel strips, where each reel strip includes a plurality of symbol display positions, and where each of the plurality of symbol display positions has a width and a height. The method may further include adding a first oversized symbol to two of the plurality of reel strips, where the first oversized symbol has an oversized width that is at least twice the width of a symbol display position. The method may further include adding a plurality of symbols to the plurality of reel strips generating a game outcome based upon the first oversized symbol and the plurality of symbols, and generating game award based upon the game outcome.

1. An electronic method of gaming implemented using a gaming system, the gaming system including a display configured to display a wagering game, a player input interface, a credit input mechanism including at least one of a card reader, a ticket reader, a bill acceptor, and a coin input mechanism, the credit input mechanism configured to establish a credit balance that is increasable and decreasable based on wagering activity, a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable memory, and a game controller communicatively coupled to the memory, the method comprising:
generating, by the game controller, a plurality of reel strips, each reel strip comprising a plurality of symbol display positions, each of the plurality of symbol display positions having a symbol display position width and a symbol display position height; adding, by the game controller, a first oversized symbol to two of the plurality of reel strips, the first oversized symbol having an oversized symbol display position width that is at least twice the symbol display position width; adding, by the game controller, a plurality of symbols to the plurality of reel strips, each of the symbols in the plurality of symbols having a width that is equal to the symbol display position width; generating, by the game controller, a game outcome based upon the first oversized symbol and the plurality of symbols; and generating, by the game controller, a game award based upon the game outcome.
