Abstract
There are provided a gaming machine and method that utilize game-logic circuitry and a presentation assembly configured to display a plurality of reels, an array, a persistent element, and a wheel. The persistent element is associated with a feature including the wheel. The reels are spun and stopped to land symbols from the reels in the array. In response to the landed symbols including an accumulation symbol, the accumulation symbol is added to the persistent element, and the game-logic circuitry randomly determines whether to award a spin of the wheel. In response to not awarding the spin of the wheel, a prize on the wheel is upgraded. In response to awarding the spin of the wheel, the wheel is spun and stopped to award a prize on the wheel.
