Abstract
There are provided a gaming machine and method that utilize game-logic circuitry and a presentation assembly configured to display a plurality of sets of symbol-bearing reels. The plurality of reel sets are spun and stopped to populate respective arrays with symbols from the respective reel sets. The populated arrays represent respective symbol outcomes. In response to a triggering event, the game-logic circuitry conducts a nudge feature by nudging one or more reels of any of the reel sets that populated its respective array with a losing symbol outcome to convert the losing symbol outcome to a winning symbol outcome.
