Abstract (en)

A gaming machine with horizontal scrolling and matching is disclosed. The gaming machine features an array of multiple game positions each having a plurality of horizontal segments. Each horizontal segment has at least one element selected from a first plurality of possible elements to form a plurality of individual contiguous subsets across the horizontal segments. The plurality of individual contiguous subsets has both winning and non-winning configurations. During play of the game, the elements of at least one horizontal segment are variable relative each game position to form an individual contiguous subset across the horizontal segments at each game position. If the contiguous subset is one which is recognized as a predetermined winning configuration, a winning outcome is achieved and the player wins a prize.
