Method and apparatus for gaming using symbols movable in the plane of a display

   
   

Methods of playing games of chance and gaming devices employing a plurality of symbol carriers, each symbol carrier bearing substantially continuously visible symbols. At least one symbol carried by each of the plurality of symbol carriers may be indicated at the end of a play sequence as a chosen symbol, by way of at least one individualized indicator. A combination of chosen symbols is randomly generated during play, and movement of the symbol carriers, indicators or both, as well as the results of play, are displayed on a video display or otherwise communicated to the player. Symbol carriers may perceptibly rotate about one or more points, translate, or otherwise move as part of the simulation. Further, a player may optionally configure parameters of the game such as symbol order, symbol carrier order, speed, rotation direction, colors, or other characteristics, as well as pay line configurations, prior to initiation of a play sequence.
