A gaming machine (100) for playing a game. The gaming machine (100) 5 comprises a display (102, 212) and a game control (Fig 2) configured to control images of symbols to be displayed on the display (102, 212). Symbols are stored for positioning in an array (300, 400). The symbols are divided into game specific standard symbols (A-Z) and bonus symbols (404-412) and are organised in a predetermined mix and number of standard symbols and bonus symbols to define 10 a prescribed bonusing scheme for filling fixed positions of the array (300, 400) at a prescribed time. The game control (Fig 2) randomly selects portions of the array (300, 400) for displaying images of the symbols in a matrix format (Fig 5) on the display during a play of the game, and associates symbols within paylines (Figs 9, 14) of the matrix (302, 402) to provide play outcomes in accordance with the 15 bonusing scheme and a paytable (Figs 11, 16) prescribed for the particular game. The game control (Fig 2) is configured to provide play options individually selectable by a player before a play. Each play option has a prescribed set of symbols associated with it. Each set is designed with a predetermined bonusing scheme, where the bonusing schemes are different between at least some of the 20 play options/sets of symbols. The game control (Fig 2) reconfigures the array (300, 400) with the set of symbols corresponding to a selected play option, and in this way provides for the requisite bonusing scheme associated with the selected play option to be adopted for play. The same paytable (Figs 11, 16) is used for all of the play options and a maximum number of paylines is used for each play.
