Abstract

A method and apparatus to implement special features on slot machine games. For example, a wild (or other symbols) symbol can be purchased by the player before the reels are spun, so that the player is guaranteed to receive a wild symbol. The wild symbol can be positioned by the player or alternatively can be positioned randomly by the game. The price for additional symbol(s) may vary depending on which symbols have already been purchased.
