1. An electronic gaming system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to execute instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
generate a first spin result for a first instance of an electronic game that simulates spinning a plurality of reels, the first spin result including a first feature symbol in a first symbol position on a first reel of the plurality of reels;
cause display, subsequent to the first spin result triggering a value feature, of a first group of one of more numeric feature symbols that appear on at least one reel of the plurality of reels, the numeric feature symbols each including a numeric identifier displayed thereon;
cause display of moving the first feature symbol from the first symbol position on the first reel to a second symbol position for a second instance of the electronic game, the second symbol position being one of a position above and a position below the first symbol position on the first reel; and
cause display, subsequent to the occurrence of the first feature symbol in the second symbol position during the second instance, of a second group of one or more numeric feature symbols that appear on at least one reel of the plurality of reels for a second spin result of the second instance.
