Claim 0:
1. An electronic gaming device comprising:
a display device; and
a game controller comprising a processor and a memory storing (a) a first feature game having an unenhanced first game play characteristic corresponding to a first unenhanced state of the first feature game, (b) a second feature game having an unenhanced second game play characteristic corresponding to a second unenhanced state of the second feature game, (c) a composite feature game dynamically configurable from the first feature game and the second feature game, (d) a composite weight table that lists a plurality of weight values assigned to triggering the first feature game, the second feature game, and the composite feature game, respectively, (e) a pay table, and (f) instructions, which, when executed, cause the processor to at least:
upon one feature game among the first feature game, the second feature game, and the composite feature game being triggered by a trigger symbol based on a respective weight value assigned to triggering each of the first feature game, the second feature game, and the composite feature game to maintain a level of return-to-player retrieved from the memory when a value received from a random number generator corresponds to one of the respective weight value assigned:
control the display device to animate an initiation of the one feature game triggered based on a first feature state that the first feature game is currently in, including when the composite feature game is triggered, and that the first feature game has reached a first threshold for the first unenhanced state, control the display device to animate the first unenhanced state transitioning to a first enhanced state including animating the unenhanced first game play characteristic changing to an enhanced first game play characteristic, and control the display device to animate the composite feature game dynamically incorporating composite game play characteristics from (a) the first enhanced state with the enhanced first game play characteristic, and (b) (i) the unenhanced second game play characteristic when the second feature game is in the second unenhanced state or (ii) an enhanced second game play characteristic when the second feature game is in a second enhanced state,
control the display device to animate the one feature game initiated, and
access the memory for the pay table to determine an occurrence of any wins in the one feature game conducted.
