Abstract

See full text

A computer implemented method of gaming. The method includes monitoring game outcomes generated for one or more players of a plurality of linked gaming machines, and for each generated game outcome i) identifying instances of one or more special symbols occurring in the generated game outcome, ii) incrementing an accumulating counter for each of the one or more special symbols based on instances of one or more special symbols occurring in the game outcome, and iii) determining whether a trigger condition is met. In response to the trigger condition being met, allocating one or more special symbols to one or more of the linked gaming machines for modifying a game outcome generated for a player of the linked gaming machine, to provide a new game outcome for each of the one or more players of linked gaming machines to which the special symbols are allocated, wherein the number of special symbols allocated to the linked gaming machines is based on a value of the accumulating counter for the special symbol at the time the trigger condition was met, and resetting the accumulating counter for the allocated special symbols.
