Abstract

See full text

A method of playing a wagering game comprises placing a wager in a reel-type video wagering game, and playing a first game segment in the reel-type video wagering game in which symbols are randomly displayed to the player. At least some displayed symbols may be non-monetary credit symbols, and after playing the first game segment, the player may accumulate the non-monetary credit symbols. Upon the occurrence of a special feature or event, a monetary value is randomly assigned to the non-monetary credit symbols, and a payout is resolved, based at least in part on the monetary value assigned to the non-monetary credit symbols. The method may have the player accumulate non-monetary credits in a first game segment, and the random assignment of a monetary value or values to the non-monetary credits occurs in a second game segment.
