Abstract
A gaming system comprising a symbol selector to select, in a first play round, a first symbol to form a part of a first player hand having a plurality of symbols and to select a second symbol to form a part of a second player hand having a plurality of symbols, and to select, in each subsequent play round, a replacement symbol for modifying one of the first player hand or second player hand; and an outcome generator to determine for each play round whether the game is completed or whether the game should proceed to a subsequent play round based on a ranking of one of the first player hand and the second player hand being higher than the other of the first player hand and the second player hand for at least two consecutive play rounds.
