A slot machine-like game-of-chance system and method that rewards players for
winning
combinations of symbols when at least one symbol appears within an area of the
display selected by the player. A player may select a display domain such as one
or more of the columns, and receive a reward if a first predetermined symbol appears
within the display domain. The player can also be awarded if a second predetermined
symbol also appears in the display. The player may also receive a first random
bonus payout independent of the display domain selected by the player, and the
opportunity to win a second bonus payout dependent upon a player choice made prior
to receiving the first random bonus payout.
