20150199867 | Gaming machine with wild multiplier feature - Machines and methods are described for displaying a predetermined symbol and a set of symbols selected from a global symbol set. A first symbol position can be randomly selected for displaying the predetermined symbol, which can include a multiplier meter to display a multiplier value randomly selectable from multiple multiplier values. A second symbol position can be randomly selected for displaying the predetermined symbol after moving along a path from the first symbol position. The predetermined symbol can be displayed as part of a predetermined number of outcome events earned upon determination that a trigger event occurred. A server machine can select symbol positions, multiplier values and symbol sets and provide data indicating the symbol positions, multiplier values and symbol sets to a client machine. The client machine can include a display to display the symbol sets, and multiplier values within a predetermined symbol. | 07-16-2015 |
