Abstract
A gaming machine is described herein. The gaming machine includes a control unit including a control board, a primary memory device coupled to the control board, a secondary memory device coupled to the control board, and a processor. The processor is programmed to execute an algorithm including the steps of initiating an instance of a primary game by spinning and stopping reels to display an outcome of the primary game. The processor then detects a trigger condition appearing in the outcome of the primary game and responsively displays an instance of a bonus game, generates primary game recall data including instructions for displaying the outcome of the primary game and stores the primary game recall data in the primary memory device, and generates bonus game recall data including instructions for displaying the instance of the bonus game and stores the bonus game recall data in the secondary memory device.
