A gaming machine determines a base outcome and initiates a bonus display sequence including a plurality of bonus outcomes. Prior to displaying any of the bonus outcomes, the machine determines a quantity of free spins and an outcome for each free spin, including an outcome amount, and at least one additional free play outcome including a corresponding outcome amount. The machine identifies i) a plurality of winning outcomes and ii) a plurality of non-winning outcomes and sorts, in ascending order based on the outcome amount, the plurality of winning outcomes in a table stored in memory. The machine displays the winning outcomes in order retrieved from the table, and displays the at least one additional free play outcome when the corresponding outcome amount is equal to or greater than the respective free play outcome of the plurality of winning outcomes.
