Abstract
A method of dynamically forming a dynamic reel strip to be used to generate a game outcome in an electronic gaming system. The method includes defining a dynamic reel strip. A plurality of reel strip positions of each reel includes a group of dynamically determined symbol positions, and fixed symbol positions. The method includes initiating a play of the game then updating each dynamic reel strip by selecting, at random, a fixed symbol position from a subset of the fixed symbol positions of the respective reel strip. The method further includes determining a symbol of the set of game symbols to occupy each dynamically determined symbol position of the group of dynamically determined symbol positions based on the selected fixed symbol position of the respective reel strip. Displaying, via a game controller, symbols in symbol display positions on a display of the gaming system.
