ABSTRACT:
A gaming terminal (10) is utilized for playing a wagering game having a basic game and a bonus game. The gaming (10) terminal has a wager-input device (16a,16b). A display (26) displays a plurality of moveable reels having symbols located thereon during the basic game. The symbols indicate a randomly selected outcome selected from a plurality of outcomes. The basic game implements a special mode in response to an enablement by a player. In response to the special mode being enabled and the movable reels displaying less than a full bonus triggering combination, the movable reels not displaying a portion of the full bonus triggering combination are re-spun.
