An apparatus and method for playing a version of a Cubis video game is pr ovided. Using a computer terminal connected to a network, such as, for examp le, the Internet, a player places a bet. Three faces of a three- dimensional cube are displayed on the computer terminal. Each face includes N2 squares arranged in a NxN arrangement, where N is a whole number greater than one. F or an exemplary embodiment in which N=5, the faces are configured so that th ere are ten columns of ten squares and five rows of ten squares. One of an o rdinary symbol, a multiplier symbol, or a bomb symbol is displayed in each o f the 75 squares. The computer determines whether any winning combinations a re present, and provides a credit to the player according to the winning com bination. When either a winning combination or a bomb symbol is present, cer tain squares are eliminated. Eliminated squares are refilled by shifting the remaining squares and then randomly generating new symbols. The game contin ues until there are no winning combinations and no bomb symbols.
