The operations include triggering a progressive jackpot bonus game in response to determination that a player terminal placed a bet on a randomly selected wheel-segment value from a roulette wheel. The bonus game comprises a plurality of rounds. For each round, the operations include animating, via an electronic display, a first highlight effect that indicates a range of eligible pockets on the roulette wheel associated with the randomly selected wheel-segment value. The size of the range of eligible pockets for each round corresponds respectively to one of a plurality of progressive jackpot levels associated with each round. The operations further include animating a spin of the roulette wheel, and animating, based on a result of the spin, a second highlight effect to indicate whether the result of the spin lands within the range of eligible pockets.
