1. A gaming device comprising:
a player interface;
a display system comprising one or more display devices; and
a game controller comprising one or more processors, the game controller executing instructions which cause the game controller to:
determine a cap value (V), which is both a maximum potential number of additional game instances and a maximum multiplier to apply to any outcomes of the additional game instances, wherein the cap value is determined based on a total number (T) of defined symbols in outcomes of the game instances for a feature stage,
select a set of game option variants from a plurality of sets of game option variants by mapping the determined cap value to one of a plurality of sets of game option variants, wherein, for each set of game option variants, each game option variant specifies a number of additional game instances (N) and a multiplier (M) such that a return to player for the number of additional game instances for each set of game option variants conforms to an average value,
randomly select a particular game option variant from the selected set of game option variants, and
conduct a particular number of additional game instances (N) of the selected particular game option variant by applying the multiplier (M) of the selected game option variant to each outcome of the particular number of additional game instances.
