Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention set forth systems, apparatuses and methods for providing conditional reel functionality in gaming devices. Accordingly, a gaming device can be configured to increase the variety of outcomes and sense of anticipation in a video slot game, by varying the composition of symbols on one or more reels based on outcomes of previously determined reels. In some embodiments this varying of composition occurs while the reels are still spinning. The varying of composition may be accomplished by modifying, substituting, generating, or otherwise altering symbols or the order of symbols in the one or more reels.
