1. A method of gaming comprising:
storing, in a memory, a first bet multiplier for a first progressive jackpot, the first bet multiplier representing a first multiplication factor;
simulating spinning and stopping of a plurality of reel strips to display symbols from each of the reel strips;
evaluating each of the symbols displayed from each of the reel strips by performing a lookup in at least one paytable to compare each of the symbols displayed from each of the reel strips to one or more in-game events;
determining, based on the evaluating, that at least one of the displayed symbols corresponds to a first in-game event, wherein the first in-game event is associated with a first game award having a first value, and wherein the first value is awarded to a player;
applying the first bet multiplier to the first value to increase the first value by the first multiplication factor;
bulk incrementing the first progressive jackpot by the increased first value; and
displaying the bulk incremented first progressive jackpot, thereby visually alerting the player to a leap in the total value of the first progressive jackpot caused by the first in-game event.
