Abstract
An electronic gaming system includes a game controller configured to control a display device to add a first oversized symbol to at least two reel strips of a plurality of reel strips. The at least two reel strips are adjacent one another, and the first oversized symbol has a first oversized symbol width that is at least twice a symbol display position width. The game controller is also configured to determine a number of reel strips remaining that do not include the first oversized symbol, where the remaining number of reel strips define a remaining width. In addition, the game controller is configured to select a second oversized symbol based on the remaining width, where the second oversized symbol has a second oversized symbol width that is less than or equal to the remaining width, whereby the second oversized symbol is selected to fit within the remaining number of reel strips without overlapping the first oversized symbol.
