Abstract
There is provided an example gaming system (and method) to perform operations that include presenting a plurality of reels for a base game. While conducting the base game, the plurality of reels bear a plurality value-bearing symbols, each value-bearing symbol being associated with one of a plurality of tiers for a feature game. The operations further include conducting a series of spins of the plurality of reels for the base game to land randomly selected sets of value-bearing symbols. The operations further include animating persistence of at least some of the randomly selected sets of value-bearing symbols in corresponding tiered, revolving persistence elements presented in a persistence area. The operations further include, in response to determining a random trigger of the feature game, using at least some persisted value-bearing symbols from the persistence area to populate one or more portions of a feature-game array.
