Abstract

An exemplary game apparatus ( 100) includes a plurality of spin mechanisms (110) including at least a first spin mechanism (110-1 ) and a second spin mechanism (110-2), and a control unit (224) communicatively connected to the spin mechanisms (110). The control unit (224) is configured to provide a virtual passageway enabling game play to move between the first spin mechanism (110-1 ) and the second spin mechanism (110-2). In certain implementations, the first spin mechanism (110-1 ) includes a plurality of landing zones (330), one of the landing zones (330) being associated with the virtual passageway. In certain implementations, the control unit (224) is configured to move game play from the first spin mechanism (110-1) to the second spin mechanism (110-2) in response to a spin action of the first spin mechanism (110-1) stopping at the landing zone (330) associated with the virtual passageway.
