Benefits of technology

[0014]In an embodiment, a player interface is provided to enable a player to actuate peeling of the strip away from the symbol position. Providing a “peelable” strip, as in this embodiment, has the advantage of creating a graphically interesting game operation in order to increase player entertainment and interest.

Problems solved by technology

A problem with requiring a fixed number of reel “stops”, whether virtual or stepper, is that this limits the number of combinations that a typical reel game can provide for entertainment of the player.
