Gaming device with multiplier meter

Abstract

A gaming device comprises a display, a processor, and a memory storing a) symbol data specifying a plurality of selectable symbols including a designated symbol, b) a pay table, c) a win meter, and d) instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor, they cause the processor to initiate a series of game instances, control the display to display a multiplier meter that a) has a plurality of multiplier levels that correspond to respective ones of a sequence of possible multipliers that can apply to outcomes of the game instances and b) when a multiplier applies, indicates a current multiplier level. The processor also initializes a designated symbol counter. In each game instance, the processor selects symbols from the symbol data for display on the display at respective ones of a plurality of symbol positions, evaluates the displayed symbols to identify any winning combinations of symbols, and for each winning combination determine an award amount based on the current multiplier and the pay table, adds any awards to the win meter, increments the designated symbol counter by the number of designated symbols in the displayed symbol, changes the current multiplier level upon the designated symbol counter exceeding a defined threshold that applies to the respective multiplier level, and updates display of the multiplier meter to indicate the current multiplier level. 20 26 21 07 50 29 J ul 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 1 0 7 5 0 2 9 J u l 2 0 2 6
