Abstract
A device and method are set forth for a video slot machine where a player makes a wager to enable one or more pay lines for a game matrix. Game symbols are randomly selected and assigned into the matrix to define winning and losing game symbols combinations for each activated pay line. An active border at least partially surrounding the matrix is displayed and configured to randomly select and display game multipliers, pay line multipliers, free plays and a bonus condition to be fulfilled by the selection of one or more game symbols. A scatter bonus is also provided.
