Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing reel-strip-based wagering games in which the reel strips include one or more feature symbols and one or more configurable symbols. Each time a feature symbol of a reel strip is displayed in a window of the wagering game associated with that reel strip, one or more 'hot spot windows' associated with that window may be determined. Hot spot windows may have a modified status applied to them that may last for a predetermined number of gameplay instances. Awards associated with the configurable symbols may, if a configurable symbol is selected for display in a window with one or more modified statuses currently applied, be modified by a modifier that is based on the applied one or more modified statuses.
