  • Publication number: 20200027310
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the invention is directed to a gaming system which designates at least one symbol as a trigger symbol, displays a plurality of symbols in a plurality of symbol display positions, and determines if any of the displayed symbols form any winning symbol combinations. If the displayed symbols form at least one winning symbol combination, the system displays an award and determines if any winning symbol combination corresponds with at least one designated trigger symbol. If this is the case, the system removes at least one symbol which does not correspond with the designated trigger symbol from the plurality of symbol display positions, optionally cascades symbols downward, and then determines if any of the displayed symbols form any winning symbol combinations. If the displayed symbols form at least one winning symbol combination, the system displays one of a plurality of awards for each displayed winning symbol combination.
