A gaming system for playing a wagering game includes a wager input device, a display, and a controller. The wager input device receives a wager input from a player. The display displays an arrangement of symbols including primary symbols and connector symbols, wherein at least some of the primary symbols are separated from each other and at least two primary symbols are connected with one of the connector symbols. Further, at least some of the primary symbols have corresponding awards. The controller is programmed to cause a sequential display of outcomes, which is initiated with a first primary symbol and which includes other primary symbols that are connected, via one or more of the connector symbols, to the first primary symbol. The player is provided with a payout related to the awards of the primary symbols that are part of the sequential display of outcomes.
