  • Patent number: 9711012
    Abstract: A method of gaming comprising providing a plurality of display positions and selecting a plurality of symbols for display at respective display positions.

It is determined whether a winning outcome exists and, during normal game mode, the base pay table is used to determine a particular prize applicable for a winning outcome when the winning outcome occurs. It is also determined whether a trigger condition exists and if the trigger condition is determined, special game mode is implemented during which the special pay table is used to determine a particular prize applicable for a winning outcome when the winning outcome occurs.
