A gaming system comprising:

• a housing comprising an openable access door;
• a security monitoring circuit within the housing and configured to monitor the access door;
• a power distribution component within the housing;
• a plurality of mechanical input devices supported by the housing;
• a plurality of output devices comprising a display device supported by the housing and a speaker supported by the housing;
• rotatable mechanical reels supported by the housing, each of the mechanical reels comprising a plurality of different symbols;
• a sound card within the housing and operable with the speaker;
• a processor within the housing;
• and
• a trusted memory device within the housing and configured to provide a gaming regulatory authority a root trusted authority that can be tracked and verified as original, the trusted memory device storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, responsive to an occurrence of a triggering event that is randomly determined by via a random number generator, cause the processor to:
• cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of unlimited secondary game play comprising a multi-function feature;
• cause a display, by the display device, of a tracking area that comprises a positive function indicator and a negative function indicator;
• cause a display, by the display device and the mechanical reels, of a play of a game during the unlimited secondary game play that comprises:
• the mechanical reels spinning,
• the mechanical reels stopping to display respective symbols on the mechanical reels,
• a random determination, via the random number generator, of a first occurrence of the multi-function feature, and
• a display of the first occurrence of the multi-function feature comprising a display of a first multi-feature symbol on a first mechanical reel of the mechanical reels, wherein the multi-function feature provides one of a plurality of different positive functions for the unlimited secondary game play, wherein the positive function is an increase in a quantity of the multi-function features associated with negative functions that need to occur to terminate the unlimited secondary game play;
• cause a display, by the display device, of a plurality of additional plays of the game during the unlimited secondary game play that each comprises:
• the mechanical reels spinning,
• the mechanical reels stopping to display respective symbols on the mechanical reels,
• a further random determination, via the random number generator, of an additional occurrence of the multi-function feature, and
• a display of the additional occurrence of the multi-function feature comprising a display of another multi-feature symbol on a second mechanical reel of the mechanical reels, wherein each of the additional occurrences of the multi-function feature provides an additional one of the positive functions for the unlimited secondary game play;
• and
• cause a display, by the display device, of a plurality of subsequent plays of the game during the unlimited secondary game play that each comprises:
• the mechanical reels spinning,
• the mechanical reels stopping to display respective symbols on the mechanical reels,
• a further random determination, via the random number generator, of a subsequent occurrence of the multi-function feature, and
• a display of the subsequent occurrence of the multi-function feature comprising a display of another multi-feature symbol on a third mechanical reel of the mechanical reels, wherein the subsequent occurrence of the multi-function feature provides the negative function for the unlimited secondary game play, and wherein a last one of the subsequent occurrences of the multi-function feature causes termination of the unlimited secondary game play.
