Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for bonus symbols and/or other reel symbols in a slot-style game that may be associated with (e.g., functionally connected to) a plurality of bonus areas or elements. In some embodiments, each reel of a slot-style game may be specifically associated with and/or tied-to one of the bonus areas or elements. According to some embodiments, values and/or parameters associated with and/or assigned to the plurality of bonus areas and/or elements may be adjusted by a player in connection with initiation and/or play of a bonus game. According to some embodiments, the bonus areas/elements may be presented and/or configured as “trap doors” having values that can fall through the doors when opened, and thus disappear (e.g., be deleted or cleared). |
