Electronic gaming systems and methods that display dynamic values within symbol positions

A method for electronic gaming, the method performed by a system including at least processor and at least one memory device in communication with the at least one processor, the at least one processor further in communication with a progressive controller, the at least one memory storing a plurality of reels, wherein at least one of the plurality of reels includes at least one dynamic reel symbol and a data structure that causes the at least one dynamic reel symbol to be modified based upon progressive data indicating one or more real-time progressive values, the method comprising

• generating a display outcome using the plurality of reels, the display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol;
• in response to the display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol, retrieving progressive data from the at least one progressive controller, wherein the at least one dynamic reel symbol is modified to include a first real-time progressive value indicated by the retrieved progressive data;
• and
• controlling a display device to display the generated display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol including the first real-time progressive value indicated by the retrieved progressive data.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor in communication with at least one progressive controller and at least one memory device storing a plurality of reels, at least one of the plurality of reels includes at least one dynamic reel symbol and a data structure that causes the at least one dynamic reel symbol to be modified based upon progressive data indicating one or more real-time progressive values, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• generate a display outcome using the plurality of reels, the display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol;
• in response to the display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol, retrieve progressive data from the at least one progressive controller, wherein the at least one dynamic reel symbol is modified to include a first real-time progressive value indicated by the retrieved progressive data;
• and
• control a display device to display the generated display outcome including the at least one dynamic reel symbol including the first real-time progressive value indicated by the retrieved progressive data.
