Original Abstract Submitted

a gaming device include a processor, and a memory storing (a) reel strip data defining a set of reel strips and (b) instructions. the reel strips may be used to select symbols to populate positions of a playing field shown on a display. when two or more of the same special symbols occupy adjacent positions of the playing field, they may merge into a single position occupied by one of the special symbols in question. if three or more special symbols are adjacent, all merge into a single position and a higher-value special symbol. the higher-value special symbol thus replaces one of the adjacent special symbols while the rest are removed or disappear.
