Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments, an electronic gaming machine and method for a game of play is provided for use in a gaming establishment, or on a general purpose computing device for offering games with multiple outcomes. The outcome of game play is displayed as a symbol array on a display device. The size of the symbol array may be varied dynamically (expanded or contracted) from one game play to another by adding or removing at least one symbol position once a trigger event has been detected.
