ABSTRACT:
A slot machine provides awards based upon matching two or more symbols drawn from the symbol matrix during one or more spins (“Pair'em Up”). In one embodiment:The game starts with an empty Pair'em Up window.At the end of every spin, the symbol appearing in symbol position 3/2 is duplicated into an empty section of the Pair'em Up window.If the newest symbol in the Pair'em Up window matches any of the other symbols in the Pair'em Up window, the two matching symbol are cleared from the Pair'em Up window.For each pair of matching symbols made during a Pair'em Up game, the player receives an escalating award based upon the Pair'em Up pay table.If the Pair'em Up window fills with 5 unmatched symbols, the game ends.
