An apparatus and method for playing a version of a video game is provided. Using a computer terminal connected to a network, a player places a bet. Three faces of a three-dimensional cube are displayed. Each face includes N.sup.2 squares arranged in a N.times.N arrangement. One of an ordinary symbol, a multiplier symbol, or a bomb symbol is displayed in each of the squares. The computer determines whether any winning combinations are present, and provides a credit to the player according to the winning combination. When either a winning combination or a bomb symbol is present, certain squares are eliminated. Eliminated squares are refilled by shifting the remaining squares and then randomly generating new symbols. The game continues until there are no winning combinations and no bomb symbols.
