Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1150261A2] A gaming machine is controlled by a processor in response to a wager and comprises a basic game and a bonus game. The basic game includes a plurality of symbols randomly placed in a viewable display area relative to at least one pay line. The basic game awards a basic game payout for any winning symbol combinations along the pay line, and includes a start-bonus outcome for triggering the bonus game. The bonus game includes a special indicator progressively moved to and stopped at one or more symbols in the viewable display area. For each symbol where the special indicator stops, the bonus game awards a bonus game payout for a winning scatter combination formed with that symbol regardless of whether the winning scatter combination is along the pay line. Thus, the symbol where the indicator stops pays as a scatter. <IMAGE>
