Abstract: A gaming system which maintains a progressive award that is associated with a plurality of different progressive award trigger values or progressive award hit values. In such embodiments, the displayed value of the progressive award does not reset to a reset value or reset amount until the displayed value of that progressive award has incremented to each of the plurality of progressive award hit values associated with that progressive award. In these embodiments, the gaming system provides a plurality of displayed incremented values of a progressive award a plurality of times before the displayed value of that progressive award is reset to the reset value.

Abstract translation: 维持与多个不同渐进奖励触发值或渐进奖励命中值相关联的渐进奖励的游戏系统。 在这样的实施例中，渐进奖励的显示值不会重置为复位值或复位量，直到该渐进奖励的显示值增加到与该渐进奖励相关联的多个渐进奖励命中值中的每一个。 在这些实施例中，游戏系统在该渐进式赔偿的显示值被重置为复位值之前，多次提供渐进赔偿的多个显示的增加值。

Abstract: Various embodiments of the gaming system, gaming device, and gaming method disclosed herein provide a primary game and a free activation bonus sequence, wherein the gaming system enables the player to select one or more of a plurality of different volatility options for use in the free activation bonus sequence. Each option is associated with a different number of free activations and a different pool of symbols or different symbol functionality. The gaming system provides this variation in the pool of symbols or symbol functionality in various embodiments by enabling the player to replace one or more symbols of a pool or set of symbols of the primary game (i.e., the primary set of symbols) with the symbol associated with a player selected option. The symbols of this modified set of symbols (i.e., the secondary set of symbols) are used in the free activation bonus sequence).
