Systems and methods for providing and displaying visually interactive bonus features in electronic wagering games

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• locking, by circuitry as a part of a bonus feature in an electronic wagering game, a set of blocks on one or more reels of the electronic wagering game;
• moving, by the circuitry during implementation of the bonus feature, a slider window in at least one direction over the reels in connection with a reel spin;
• unlocking, by the circuitry, one or more symbols rendered in a subset of the blocks due at least in part to the slider window landing over the subset of blocks in connection with the reel spin;
• and
• performing, by the circuitry, a collection of one or more values represented by the symbols rendered in the subset of blocks.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor of a computing device, cause the hardware processor to:

• lock, as a part of a bonus feature in an electronic wagering game, a set of blocks on one or more reels of the electronic wagering game;
• move, during implementation of the bonus feature, a slider window in at least one direction over the reels in connection with a reel spin;
• unlock one or more symbols rendered in a subset of the blocks due at least in part to the slider window landing over the subset of blocks in connection with the reel spin;
• and
• perform a collection of one or more values represented by the symbols rendered in the subset of blocks.
