Abstract
A gaming machine, system, method, and program product provide a new slot machine game in which a gaming meter or continuum displays advancement toward a highest state. The gaming continuum and includes a game activation display function that, based on a random selection associated with a wager activation, either partially fills the gaming continuum to provide a losing game outcome or totally fills the gaming continuum to provide a winning game outcome, the gaming continuum entering a decay state after each game outcome. The decay state includes displaying an advancing level of the gaming continuum decreasing toward a lowest state. If a wager activation occurs before the lowest state is reached, the instantaneous level of the continuum is used as the starting state of the subsequent game round.
