A novel game is provided that transforms at least a part of the graphic symbol matrix shown on a video-based reel-type gaming machine (100) to change the game operation from multi-symbol reels (603-607) to single-symbol reels. Methods, apparatus and program products for implementing the game are provided. A preferred game operates in a first display matrix state (302) displaying a symbol matrix. The symbol matrix provides a game play result by displaying two or more reel representations (603-607) that combine to form the symbol matrix. In response a trigger event in game play, the game switches to a second display matrix state (305) where it is modified to show single-symbol reel representations with separating elements (830) between at least one pair of adjacent symbols (801) of a respective reel representation. Multiple sets of data structures (310, 320, 330, 332) are provided for operation in each display state.
