Abstract
A gaming machine provides a spinning reel game having a base game, from which a hold-and-spin game is triggered when a determined quantity of configurable symbols are displayed in a base game outcome. For each spin of the feature game, spin tags of configurable symbols are updated. When the spin tags have a predetermined relationship to a threshold value, the associated configurable symbol is split into a group of symbols. A feature game award is presented based on values associated with each configurable symbol in the feature game outcome.
