Abstract:
A gaming system or gaming device for conducting a wagering game includes a display device, a processor, and a memory device. The memory device stores instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate with the display device to determine an outcome of the wagering game, which is randomly determined from plural available wagering-game outcomes, and display, in an array located at a first position on the display device, symbols indicative of the wagering-game outcome. The processor, in conjunction with the memory device, determines a value associated with the wagering-game outcome. The symbol array is then shown moving from the first position to a second position on the display device. The second position is based on a random determination and/or player input. The value of the wagering-game outcome is modified based upon one or more modifiers achieved due to movement of the array to the second position.
