combining the selected first win outcome modifier with the second win outcome modifier associated with the target at which the object stopped; and

modifying the win outcome with the combined modifier.

6. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a direction of rotation of the object changes at least once.

7. A method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the object translates by rolling.

8. A method as claimed in claim 1 , comprising determining the stopping position of the object is randomly determined by employing a random number generator and a probability table.

9. A method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the sizes of the regions are related to the values of the modifiers.

10. A game controller for a gaming system, the game controller arranged to:

combine the selected first win outcome modifier with the second win outcome modifier associated with the target at which the object stopped; and

modify the win outcome with the combined modifier.

11. A game controller as claimed in claim 10 , comprising a modifier controller arranged to select the modifier which is to be applied.

12. A game controller as claimed in claim 10 comprising a processor and a memory storing program code which when executed implements the functions of generating an outcome, determining whether the outcome comprises a winning outcome, controlling display of the object and modifying the win outcome.

13. A gaming system comprising:

a display; and

a game controller arranged to:

generate a game outcome;

determine whether the game outcome includes a win outcome;

control display on a display of a three-dimensional representation of an object having a plurality of first win outcome modifiers thereon in response to a modification condition being met, such that the object is displayed as rotating and translating behind a screen having a plurality of targets that are each associated with second win outcome modifiers, wherein the axis around which the object rotates changes at least once prior to the object stopping and wherein the object translates randomly from target to target and, stopping at one of the plurality of targets such that after stopping, the selected modifier of the plurality of first win outcome modifiers is apparent from the display;

combine the selected first win outcome modifier with the second win outcome modifier associated with the target at which the object stopped; and

modify the win outcome with the combined modifier.

14. A method of gaming comprising:

generating a game outcome;

determining whether the game outcome includes a win outcome;

providing a three-dimensional representation of an object having a plurality of first win outcome modifiers thereon and representation of a plurality of targets, each target associated visually with a modifier;

controlling display of the object in response to a modification condition being met, such that the object is displayed as moving relative to the targets and translating behind a screen having a plurality of targets that are each associated with second win outcome modifiers, wherein the object translates randomly from target to target and stops at one of the targets, such that after stopping, a composite modifier, formed by the combination of the first win modifier of the object at the stop position and the second win modifier of the target at which the object stopped, is apparent from the display; and

modifying the win outcome with the composite modifier.

15. A game controller for a gaming system, the game controller arranged to:

generate a game outcome;

determine whether the game outcome includes a win outcome;

control display on a display of a three-dimensional representation of an object having a plurality of first win outcome modifiers thereon in response to a modification condition being met, such that the object is displayed as moving relative to the targets and translating behind a screen having a plurality of targets that are each associated with second win outcome modifiers, wherein the object translates randomly from target to target and stops at one of the targets, such that after stopping, a composite modifier, formed by the combination of the first win modifier of the object at the stop position and the second win modifier of the target at which the object stopped, is apparent from the display; and

modify the win outcome with the composite modifier.

16. A gaming system comprising:

a display; and

a game controller arranged to:

generate a game outcome;

determine whether the game outcome includes a win outcome;

control display on a display of a three-dimensional representation of an object having a plurality of first win outcome modifiers thereon in response to a modification condition being met, such that the object is displayed as moving relative to the targets and translating behind a screen having a plurality of targets that are each associated with second win outcome modifiers, wherein the object translates randomly from target to target and stops at one of the targets, such that after stopping, a composite modifier, formed by the combination of the first win modifier of the object at the stop position and the second win modifier of the target at which the object stopped, is apparent from the display; and
