In a gaming system, a first player and one or more second player(s) contribute respective player reels. At least one game outcome is determined from an array of symbols randomly generated from the combination of the player reels. The at least one game outcome is shared by all players and used to determine awards for all players. The first player may subsequently join one or more third player(s) to determine new game outcomes from a new combination of player reels.;In another gaming system, players select a combination of player reels from a pool of player reels to compete against each other. At least one game outcome is determined for each player from an array of symbols randomly generated from the player's selected subset of player reels. The players are ranked according to the game outcomes for the players, and awards are determined for the players according to the ranking.
