Abstract: An apparatus and method for a game of play for use in a casino establishment, or on a general purpose computing device for offering games with multiple outcomes and including connectable game elements. A base game, or an outcome on a base game that triggers a sub-game or a bonus game involves establishing connections between connectable game elements where the orientation of ends of the elements are in alignment. Alignment and connection of the connectable game elements results in awards to players. The apparatus and method are offered on electronic gaming machines such as slot machines and video poker machines, but may also be deployed on other devices such as on a general purpose computing device or mobile telephone in stand-alone form or connected to a network, such as the internet.
