Abstract

A gaming device is thematically tied to audiovisual content that has been repurposed from its original use and adapted to use with the gaming device. For example, the gaming device may be thematically tied to a television situational comedy. Instead of making a general wager and spinning the reels, a player selects particular symbols or characters that are thematically tied to the audiovisual content, and places a wager on the selected symbols or characters. The reels of the gaming device spin and a random selection of symbols and images of characters are presented on a payline of the gaming device. If the player has selected an image or symbol that lands on the payline, an audiovisual clip based on the theme is played and the player is informed of her winning outcome.
