发明名称 Wagering game having symbol transfer from feeder array to primary array
摘要 A primary array of symbol positions arranged in a plurality of columns and a feeder array of symbol positions arranged in one or more columns are displayed. A plurality of symbols including a special symbol is randomly distributed such that (i) each of the symbol positions of the primary and feeder arrays is associated with one of the plurality of symbols thereby forming a first outcome. In response to one of the symbol positions of the primary array being associated with the special symbol, one or more of the symbols associated with the feeder array is visually transferred to the primary array of symbol positions. The first outcome is modified with the one or more transferred symbols thereby forming a second outcome.

主权项 1. A method for conducting a wagering game via a gaming terminal, the method comprising: receiving, via an input device, a wager to play the wagering game; displaying, on one or more display devices, a primary array of symbol positions arranged in a plurality of columns and a feeder array of symbol positions arranged in one or more columns; randomly distributing, by at least one of one or more processors, a plurality of symbols including a special symbol that acts as a magnetic symbol such that: (i) each of the symbol positions of the primary array is associated with one of the plurality of symbols thereby forming a first outcome, and(ii) each of the symbol positions of the feeder array is associated with one of the plurality of symbols; in response to one of the symbol positions of the primary array being associated with the special symbol, visually transferring, by at least one of the one or more processors, a first one of the symbols associated with the feeder array to the primary array of symbol positions, the first one of the symbols thereby being a first transferred symbol; and modifying, by at least one of the one or more processors, the first outcome with the first transferred symbol thereby forming a second outcome, the modifying including attracting the first transferred symbol toward the special symbol such that the first transferred symbol is visually transferred to and associated with one of a first tier of symbol positions of the primary array, the first tier of symbol positions including the symbol positions of the primary array that directly surround the symbol position of the special symbol.
