a memory device; and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory device, which when executed, cause the processor to at least:
control the display device to display a matrix of symbol positions formed by a plurality of reels, each reel of the plurality of reels including a plurality of symbol positions, the matrix of symbol positions defining a primary play area;
control the display device to display a first bingo card and a second bingo card defining a secondary play area, the first bingo card being associated with a first feature indicator and the second bingo card being associated with a second feature indicator;
store a first memory structure in the memory device corresponding to the first bingo card and a second memory structure in the memory device corresponding to the second bingo card;
in response to receipt of an input to play an instance of a game, determine an outcome, based at least in part on an output of a random number generator (RNG), that includes a first plurality of symbols to display in the primary play area;
in response to determining that the first plurality of symbols includes a first prize symbol having a first prize symbol indicator and a value, determine whether the first prize symbol indicator of the first prize symbol corresponds to the first feature indicator, the second feature indicator, or a combination of the first feature indicator and second feature indicator;
