Claim 7:
8. A method of providing an electronic game with a dynamic wheel feature, the method comprising:
activating, by at least one processor, the dynamic wheel feature based on an outcome of an instance of the electronic game, the activation includes displaying a wheel at a display device that includes a plurality of wheel sections, each wheel section identifies an award that may be awarded during a spin of the wheel;
displaying, at the display device, an initial spin of the wheel based on a first random number generated by a random number generator;
providing, by the at least one processor, an initial award value for the initial spin of the wheel by identifying a first entry in a weighted table based on the first random number, the first entry indicating the initial award value;
determining, by the at least one processor, to activate the dynamic wheel feature based on a second random number generated by the random number generator;
removing, by the at least one processor, wheel sections from the displayed wheel that have award values that are less than or equal to the initial award value by displaying, at the display device, a burning animation that traverses circumferentially around the displayed wheel to designate each wheel section to be removed from the displayed wheel;
performing, by the at least one processor, a second spin of the wheel based on a third random number generated by the random number generator; and
providing, by the at least one processor, a second award value by identifying a second entry in the weighted table based on the third random number and which has an associated award value that is greater than the initial award value.
