This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250087056 titled 'GAMING SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH EXPANDABLE SYMBOL ACCUMULATION
Original Abstract Submitted
a gaming system comprises a presentation assembly presenting a base set of symbol positions and game-logic circuitry that causes the presentation assembly to present, in response to a feature trigger event, an expanded set of symbol positions including a plurality of additional symbol positions within symbol position subsets, present feature game outcomes, lock, in response to any value-bearing symbols detected within the feature game outcomes, the value-bearing symbols within the expanded set of symbol positions. the game-logic circuitry initiates, in response to detecting a first subset reaching an award threshold of locked value-bearing symbols, an outcome counter, resets, in response to detecting a second subset reaching an award threshold, the outcome counter to a reset value, and causes, in response to the outcome counter reaching a termination value, the presentation assembly to conclude the feature game outcomes and present an award sequence for any awarding subsets.
