In one embodiment, the resultant wild symbol is similar to a wild symbol and acts as a substitute for other symbols on the reels or cards. In another embodiment, the resultant wild symbol transforms adjacent symbols into wild symbols or other symbols on the reels or cards. In a further embodiment, the resultant wild symbol transforms a predetermined or random number of symbols on the reels or cards into wild symbols or other symbols.
