Abstract

A gaming device and method which includes a plurality of reels (34) having multiple symbols (100) on the reels (34). The symbols include at least one activator symbol (102). In one embodiment, if the player obtains an activator symbol (102) on the reels (34), the activator symbol (102) activates the symbols that are adjacent to the activator symbol (102). Activating the adjacent symbols reveals the awards associated with the adjacent symbols. The player receives an award that equals the activator symbol award plus the awards associated with each symbol that is adjacent to the activator symbol.
