Abstract

Systems, apparatuses and methods for enhancing payouts in gaming activities. One or more payout modifiers may be presented in the game play area, where portions of the game play area identified by the one or more payout modifiers are made eligible for award enhancement for awards occurring on paylines or other pay areas that pass through or otherwise use the identified portions of the game play area that are currently eligible for the award enhancement. In various embodiments, the payout modifiers may identify different volumes of the portions of the game play area to be eligible for the award enhancement, and/or may move about the play area, and/or intersect to form new and potentially more lucrative payout modifiers.
