A gaming device having a wild activation symbol is displayed on a set of
reels or set of cards within a display device. The processor causes other
symbols or cards to become wild within the display device when the wild
termination symbol is displayed. When the wild activation symbol is
displayed, the present invention may also provide a wild termination
symbol on the set of reels or the set of cards within a display device.
The processor may then stop symbols or cards from becoming wild based on
the position of the wild termination symbol.
