An electric continuously variable transmission includes first and second planetary gear sets each having a corresponding electric motor/generator. Both planetary gear sets are integrally linked to an input shaft that transfers torque from an engine. The electric motor/generators switch between driving and retarding rotation of the corresponding planetary gear set to generate various ranges, providing variable transmission speed ratios. A brake may be selectively engaged producing an overdrive range for cruising speeds. The electric continuously variable transmission drives a first driveline for driving a first pair of wheels. A controller and battery are also provided for respectively controlling the various electric motor/generators and either storing or providing energy.

The method of claim 20, wherein the display area is an electronic display area, and wherein each of the first shape, the second shape, and the third shape is initially displayed as a symbol on a representation of a slot machine reel in the display area. 23. The method of claim 20, wherein the step of displaying an animation comprises: displaying each of the shapes moving towards one another and being rotated relative to one another. 24. The method of claim 20, wherein each of the first shape, the second shape, and the third shape are displayed, before the step of displaying an animation, along a payline of the slot machine. 25. An apparatus, comprising: a storage device; and a processor in communication with the
