Electronic game with moving bonus symbol

An electronic game and method are set forth wherein if a player obtains a bonus symbol on one reel of the gaming device and a landing symbol on an adjacent reel a bonus sequence is triggered. When the bonus sequence is triggered, a jumping symbol moves to the landing symbol. If the next reel includes a landing symbol, the feature symbol continues to move across the display. If any reel does not display a landing symbol, that reel is re-spun in an attempt to obtain a landing symbol. The player is awarded a bonus based upon the number of reels the feature symbol can progress through. If the symbol can progress through all the reels, a jackpot bonus is awarded.
