Abstract: A method includes receiving a game play initiating input at a player station and displaying a video-transitioning symbol in response to the game play initiating input. This video-transitioning symbol is displayed in a game play result conveying graphic on a display device associated with the player station, and may include a reel symbol in a video simulation of a reel-type game display, or may include some feature in a bonus game display, for example. The method also includes modifying the video-transitioning symbol to display a video segment within the game play result conveying graphic. The video segment may be displayed in a small area of the game play result conveying graphic, such as the area defined for a reel symbol making up the video-transitioning symbol for example. Alternatively, the video segment may be displayed in an area larger than the area taken up by the video-transitioning symbol.
