Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for providing reel-spin game enhancement features. A player enrolled with a subscription service server is presented with an opportunity to enhance game features associated with a gaming device after a result of a game played on the gaming device is determined. The gaming device determines that only when the result of the game played corresponds to a predetermined outcome, a respin option becomes available for the player. This option is rendered as an offer for the player to activate a game enhancement feature for a respin during a subsequent play of the reel-spin game. The game enhancement features include holding or locking a symbol in the reels of the reel-spin game, adding a score multiplier, or adding a modified symbol to a particular position or reel, during the respin of the subsequent play of the reel-spin game.

Based on a characteristic, gaming history, and/or the presence of the player at a gaming device, access to features of the gaming device are selectively controlled.

Abstract: A system sends the identification of an electronic incentive award that a player may into a mobile device. The electronic incentive award may be sent in response to the player performing an action to complete an incentive objective on an electronic gaming machine (EGM).

The incentive progress data indicates player progress towards completing the incentive objective. In response to the incentive progress data indicating that the player has completed the incentive objective, the system provides the electronic incentive award to the mobile device for the player to use on the mobile device.
