1. An electronic gaming system comprising:
at least one server operable to determine a randomly generated bingo game outcome based on a random number generator and one or more awards corresponding to the randomly generated bingo game outcome; and
a client device coupled to the at least one server and having a device display, and a device processor and memory storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed, cause the device processor to at least:
animate a bingo game based on data indicative of the randomly generated bingo game outcome received,
in response to an occurrence of a feature mode trigger condition, animate a feature wheel with a pointer and a plurality of wheel slices populated with a plurality of initial wheel slice values,
animate at least one of the feature wheel and the pointer being spun to indicate a first wheel slice having a first initial wheel slice value based on data indicative of a first award of the one or more awards received,
in response to the one or more awards received includes a second award, animate the plurality of wheel slices being re-populated with a plurality of new wheel slice values to have at least the first initial wheel slice value, and
animate at least one of the feature wheel and the pointer being spun to indicate a second wheel slice having a second new wheel slice value.
