Claim 15:
16. A gaming system, comprising:
a user interface system configured for receiving an indication to initiate one or more instances of an electronic game; and
a control system comprising,
one or more processors, and
a memory storing one or more dynamic data structures, comprising a first data structure including at least a first lookup table having entries establishing probabilities and values of possible awards correlated with respective numerical values;
wherein the control system executes instructions which cause the control system to perform operations comprising:
determining a game instance outcome;
after determining the instance outcome, automatically determining whether a continuous symbol sequence feature will be awarded;
in response to determining that a continuous symbol sequence feature will be awarded, automatically determining award values for the continuous symbol sequence feature, comprising,
correlating a respective random number generator (RNG) call with a value of the first data structure to determine a first stage award value associated with the correlated value; and
in response to determining the first stage award value, modifying the first data structure to limit selection of entries for a following stage to entries associated with award values at least equal to the determined first stage award value; and
sequentially displaying multiple determined stage award values, wherein sequentially displaying the multiple determined stage award values comprises causing the control system to:
 display the first stage award value for a first time interval at a first position on an animation object that is displayed on the user interface system;
 animate the animation object to move in a first direction from the first position to a second position; and
 display a following stage award value on the animation object for a second time interval at the second position.
