Publication number: 20240355177Abstract: An electronic gaming device is provided. The gaming device includes a processor. The processor is programmed to: in response to transitioning to a feature game, cause one or more trigger symbols displayed on a reel display to transition to a credit symbol that includes a credit value wherein the credit value is determined by performing a lookup within a first award table, cause the reel display to spin causing a new trigger symbol to be displayed, cause the new trigger symbol to transition to a new credit symbol; and if a total number of credit symbols displayed on the reel display meets a first threshold value, assign a new credit value to the new credit symbol by performing a lookup within a second award table, wherein the second award table includes credit values that are greater than the credit values of the first award table.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: Amy BATSIOKIS, Lagan GUPTA, Gaurav GOEL, Vishal SINGH, Dinh TRAN, Nicholas O'SULLIVAN, Robbert VAN ELVEN, Lauren CHAPPLE, Philip SEIFERT, Tyson ELLIOTT, Romit AGGARWAL
