Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for providing reel-spin game enhancement features. A player enrolled with a subscription service server is presented with an opportunity to enhance game features associated with a gaming device after a result of a game played on the gaming device is determined. The gaming device determines that only when the result of the game played corresponds to a predetermined outcome, a respin option becomes available for the player. This option is rendered as an offer for the player to activate a game enhancement feature for a respin during a subsequent play of the reel-spin game. The game enhancement features include holding or locking a symbol in the reels of the reel-spin game, adding a score multiplier, or adding a modified symbol to a particular position or reel, during the respin of the subsequent play of the reel-spin game.
