The present invention relates to a gaming machine, methods of gaming and gaming systems. The gaming system comprises: a first video display; a second video display; and a game controller. The game controller is arranged to: select a plurality of symbols from a symbol set for display on the first video display and the second video display; and evaluate a symbol subset comprising one or more of the plurality of symbols to determine whether to make an award. The number of symbols of the symbol subset is higher than a number of symbols in the symbol subset evaluated by the game controller in a previous game instance.

Method of gaming, a gaming system and a game controller having moveable symbols at increasing display positions with different appearances

An electronic gaming machine comprising a video display and a game controller arranged to select a plurality of symbols from a symbol set for display on the video display, evaluate the symbols displayed on the display to determine whether to initiate a symbol lock event, and upon initiating a symbol lock event, identify symbols which contribute to an award configuration, control the display to lock identified symbols, and updating remaining symbols in the display.

Method of gaming, a gaming system and a game controller

An electronic method of gaming in a gaming system. The method comprises displaying, on a display, an evaluation area comprising a plurality of columns of symbol display positions divided between first and second gaming instances by a border such that symbol display positions on one side of the border are allocated to the first game instance and symbol display positions on the other side of the border are allocated to the second game instance; upon a border change condition being met, adjusting, using a game controller, the allocation of symbol positions between the first game instance and the second game instance so that the border between the first and second game instances changes; and determining, using the game controller, whether to make an award in respect of at least one of the first and second game instances based on symbols displayed at the symbol positions after the border changes.
