Abstract
An electronic gaming machine includes a display for displaying a first game and an electronic game controller for controlling the display of game symbols on the display. The appearance of one or more special symbols in the first game results in the award of one or more tokens to a player, the tokens being associated with at least one token value. The electronic game controller determines an accumulated token value from the token values of the tokens awarded to the player. In response to the occurrence of a trigger event, a second game is displayed, where a multiplier is applied to increase the value of any prizes awarded in the second game, the value of the multiplier being associated with the accumulated token value. A gaming method is also provided.
