The method of claim 7, wherein the sequence of value-based symbols includes at least three value-based symbols. 10. The method of claim 7, further including animating the sequence of value-based symbols to reveal respective numbers. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of re-ordering the sequence of value-based symbols includes re-ordering the numbers associated with the respective value-based symbols, the re-ordered numbers being respective digits of a credit amount that defines the second award. 12. A game of chance for a video gaming machine controlled by a processor in response to a wager, comprising: means for displaying a sequence of value-based symbols in a symbol array having multiple rows and columns, the sequence defining a first award; means for re-ordering the sequence of value-based symbols in view of the symbol array such that the re-ordered sequence defines a second award; and means for awarding the second award to the player. 13. A game of chance for a video gaming machine controlled by a processor in response to a wager, comprising: means for randomly selecting symbols for placement in a displayed symbol array having multiple rows and columns; means for triggering a shuffle feature in response to the displayed symbols including a sequence of value-based symbols, the sequence defining a first award; means for re-ordering the sequence of value-based symbols in view of the symbol array such that the re-ordered sequence defines a second award; and means for awarding the second award to the player.
