There are provided a gaming machine and method that utilize game-logic circuitry and a presentation assembly configured to present a plurality of symbol-bearing reels, an array, and a plurality of persistent elements. The plurality of reels are spun and stopped to land symbols from the reels in the array. In response to the landed symbols including at least one accumulation symbol, an animation of addition of the accumulation symbol to one of the plurality of persistent elements is presented. A random determination whether or not to trigger one or more game features is made. If the determination is to trigger the one or more game features, a bonus mode is entered and the one or more game features are implemented via the game-logic circuitry for subsequent spins of the game, for any free games awarded during the subsequent spins, or any combination thereof until the bonus mode is terminated.

Gaming system and method with a persistent element feature

An electronic bingo gaming system enables the entertainment mechanisms in Class II gaming machines to mimic the look and feel of the Class III games on which those entertainment mechanisms are based. The system is constructed to minimize any wait times by players that commence a bingo game or join a bingo game already in progress. To create consistency in what players are hoping to see on their bingo cards, the bingo game may use a single interim prize pattern required to win an interim prize that is the same for all players.
