1. A method for updating progressive feature prize values across multiple games in a multi-game package, comprising:
loading a multi-game package program that includes a first game and at least a second game, wherein the first game is eligible to trigger a payout of one or more first progressive feature prizes associated with the first game, and wherein the first game is ineligible to trigger a payout of one or more second progressive feature prizes associated with the second game;
initiating a round of play in the first game of the multi-game package; generating a first set of random-based game outcomes for the round of play using a random number generator (RNG);
determining, based on a characteristic of the first set of random based game outcomes, to perform a bulk progressive feature prize update operation across at least one progressive feature prize of each of the games in the multi-game package;
determining an adjustment for a visual meter associated with each updated progressive feature prize across each of the games in the multi-game package, in accordance with each updated progressive feature prize's respective update operation;
generating a second set of random-based game outcomes for the round of play using the RNG; and
determining, based on a characteristic of the second set of random based game outcomes, whether one of the one or more first progressive feature prizes in the first game is triggered.
