Abstract

A gaming event is executed on electronic gaming media. A wager is accepted by a processor and a random selection of both virtual symbols and moves is provided to a player by a display screen on a wagering device. The virtual symbols are randomly arranged on a grid having columns and rows. The player inputs commands to the processor to switch individual pairs of virtual symbols, one pair switched in each available move, until moves are exhausted. A final arrangement of virtual symbols on the grid is evaluated according to paylines and paytables to resolve the wager.
