A gaming system includes game-logic circuitry that primarily performs a casino wagering game. The casino wagering game includes gaming events (play steps) having outcomes that may trigger and perpetuate a multi-level bonus game. As the wagering game is performed, a game cycle data record is created containing game cycle data related to the outcome of the play steps. A predetermined number of the most recent game cycle data records are stored in non-volatile memory. Each game cycle data record includes a predetermined number of play step data records for the base-game, bonus-game-triggering, and bonus-game play steps, as performed in chronological order. When the predetermined number of play step data records is exceeded, the oldest non-triggering play step data record is removed from the game cycle data and accrued into summary data specific to a nested-depth of the play step for the game cycle. |

1. A method of operating a gaming system, the gaming system including game-logic circuitry and a regulated gaming machine, the gaming machine primarily dedicated to playing at least one casino wagering game, the gaming machine including an electronic display device and one or more electronic input devices, the method comprising:
detecting, via at least one of the one or more electronic input devices, a physical item associated with a monetary value that establishes a credit balance; initiating, by the game-logic circuitry, a base game of the casino wagering game in response to an input indicative of a wager covered by the credit balance; in response to a base-game triggering event during the base game, conducting, by the game-logic circuitry, a multi-level bonus game of the casino wagering game, the conducted bonus game including a plurality of played levels, the plurality of played levels including a main level and a plurality of nested levels, each of the played levels including one or more play steps, at least one of the play steps in the main level being a first bonus-game triggering step that triggers one of the nested levels, at least one of the play steps in the main level or the one of the nested levels being a second bonus-game triggering step that triggers another of the nested levels; in response to a total number of the play steps in all of the played levels exceeding a predetermined number, storing, by the game-logic circuitry in a memory device, (i) play step replay data enabling display of the outcome of the first bonus-game triggering step, the second bonus-game triggering step, and the predetermined number of the play steps, and (ii) summary data enabling display of a summary screen for each of the nested levels; and receiving, via at least one of the one or more electronic input devices, a cashout input that initiates a payout from the credit balance. |
