Abstract
A gaming machine (100) wherein a randomized pattern of game elements on a display (110) determines an outcome; each game element comprising at least one symbol within an area enclosed by N boundary elements. The said pattern of game elements is other than that of a rectilinear matrix. A gaming machine (100) wherein a randomized pattern of game elements on a display (110) determines and outcome; each game element comprising at least one symbol within an area enclosed by N boundary elements. The said pattern of game elements includes adjoining columns/rows and elements of adjoining columns/rows are staggered. A gaming machine (100) incorporating a display (110) having an array of N-sided elements displayed thereon; the N-sided elements each defining an area bounded by said elements and adapted to display a symbol therewithin. The N-sided elements remain static during a game. A randomized selection of symbols is displayed within the elements for a final game outcome.
