Abstract: A gaming system including a game which utilizes a plurality of symbol generators. Each of the symbol generators is linked to at least another one of the symbol generators, such that the plurality of symbol generators are linked with each other to form a group of coupled symbol generators. In operation, for a play of a game, the gaming system activates (i.e., spins) one of the symbol generators. Due to the symbol generators being directly or indirectly coupled with one another, this activation of one of the symbol generators causes an activation of each of the linked symbol generators. Following the activation of the symbol generators, one of the symbol generators is deactivated (i.e., stopped) at a randomly selected orientation which causes each of the symbol generators to also be deactivated. The gaming system then evaluates any indicated symbols associated with the stopped symbol generators and provides one or more awards based on the evaluated symbol generators.

Abstract translation: 一种包括使用多个符号发生器的游戏的游戏系统。 每个符号发生器被链接到至少另一个符号生成器，使得多个符号生成器彼此链接以形成一组耦合的符号生成器。 在操作中，为了玩游戏，游戏系统激活（即，旋转）符号生成器之一。 由于符号生成器彼此直接或间接耦合，所以符号生成器之一的这种激活导致每个链接的符号生成器的激活。 在符号发生器的激活之后，符号发生器之一以随机选择的取向被去激活（即停止），这导致每个符号发生器也被去激活。 游戏系统然后评估与停止的符号生成器相关联的任何指示符号，并且基于所评估的符号生成器提供一个或多个奖励。
