Abstract
Wager-based video slot reel games are described where prizes are awarded based upon the appearance of scatter symbols. The games can allow a player to select the number of scatter symbols needed to win prizes. Also, the game logic can be configured to select the number of scatter symbols needed to win prizes. In one embodiment, a bonus game including free spins and scatter symbols is generated. Prior to beginning the bonus game, a player can select a combination of free spins and scatter symbols needed to win prizes, such as progressive prizes. Although the scatter symbols and/or free spins needed to win prizes can be varied within a video slot reel game, the probability of winning the prizes can be maintained approximately the same for each variation.
