Abstract
A gaming system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions thereon wherein the instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause display of a matrix including a plurality of symbol positions and populate a first subset of the symbol positions with a first plurality of symbols for a first game instance outcome. The first game instance outcome includes a first award enhancement symbol independently positioned in a first symbol position of the plurality of active symbol positions. The processor further maintains the first plurality of symbols in the first subset for a second game instance outcome and populates a second subset of symbol positions with a second plurality of symbols for a second game instance outcome. The second game instance outcome includes the first award enhancement symbol in the first symbol position in combination with a cash-on-reel symbol from the second plurality of symbols.
