摘要

A game and gaming machine providing a plurality of arrays on an electronic display with each array having a plurality of game positions. During play of the game, the game positions can be randomly populated with game elements selected from a superset of elements. At least one element can be designated as a "scatter" element. Where a particular game position on one array is populated with a predetermined scatter element, a game element initially displayed in a congruent position on another array can be replaced with the scatter element. The arrays being manipulated into an overlapping configuration having more than two dimensions with the game positions forming linear groupings across the arrays. The game providing for evaluating the overlapping configuration of game elements for predetermined winning and non-winning outcomes.
