Abstract
A gaming system and a method of gaming using a metamorphic reel feature are provided. A game controller is configured to initiate play of the base game, thereby causing a simulated spinning of reels. The game controller changes the base game to a metamorphic reel game. The game controller then creates a morphed reel based on symbols included in two of the reels and replaces those two reels with the morphed reel during the simulated spinning. The game controller then determines a metamorphic reel game outcome based on a metamorphic reel game paytable and a reduced number of reels that includes the morphed reel and awards credit to the player based on the metamorphic reel game outcome.
