Abstract
A free spin count-up bonus game and a subsequent banked free spin count-down secondary bonus game are described herein. The free spin count-up game may be triggered during play of a base game. A numerical indicium may be provided. During the free spin count-up bonus game, the indicium may count up from an initial value to a final value. When the indicium reaches a maximum or final value, the value may be regarded as indicating a number of 'banked' free spins. The number of banked free spins may be compared to one or more threshold values. If the number of banked dree spins is greater than or equal to one or more threshold values and there is a successful outcome on a random determination, a secondary bonus game may be initiated, during which the indicium is decremented from the final value back down toward the initial value.
