The electronic gaming machine comprises a video display and a game controller configured to display on the video display a first set of reels and a second set of reels, control the video display to initially synchronously spin pairs of first and second reels to a stop, and, upon a potential trigger condition being met, control the video display to asynchronously spin pairs of first and second reels to a stop. The game controller is further configured to control the video display to move a special symbol on the video display in a direction opposite to an evaluation direction towards an evaluated position.
