Independently randomly generated different features and enhanced features associated with activators

A gaming system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• cause a display, by a display device, of a pot;
• cause a display, by a display device, of symbol displays associated with but separate from the pot, the symbol displays comprising activators associated with the pot;
• cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a feature associated with the pot, the feature comprising a first quantity of enhancements associated with the symbol displays, the first quantity being at least one;
• cause a display, by the display device, of a first activation of the symbol displays, wherein the display comprises a display, by the display device, of one of the activators on one of the symbol displays;
• after a determination that said activator does not result in an activation of the pot associated with said activator, cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a change to an activator occurrence indicator associated with said pot;
• and
• after a determination that said activator results in activation of the pot associated with the activator:
• cause a display, by the display device, of an indication that the feature associated with the pot is an activated feature;
• cause a display, by the display device, of a second activation of the symbol displays employing the activated feature;
• cause a display, by the display device, of a third activation of the symbol displays and of one of the activators on one of the symbol displays;
• after a determination that said activator does not result in an activation of the pot associated with said activator, cause a display, by the display device, of an indication of a change to the activator occurrence indicator associated with said pot;
• and
• after a determination that said activator results in an activation of the pot associated with said activator, cause a display, by the display device, of an indication that an enhanced feature associated with the pot is an activated enhanced feature for a subsequent activation of the symbol displays, wherein the enhanced feature comprises a second quantity of the enhancements associated with the symbol displays, the second quantity being greater than the first quantity.
