Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a gaming machine comprises a standard gaming machine portion displaying rotating reels, where the reels (physical or simulated) are randomly stopped, and an award is based upon the final symbol combination. Upon a special symbol combination being obtained in the main game, a secondary (or bonus) game is then carried out by the machine. In one embodiment, the bonus game comprises a display that randomly displays a plurality (e.g., five) of possible bonus values. In a second phase of the bonus game, one of the displayed possible bonuses is randomly selected for being paid to the player. Many other implementations of a bonus game that randomly generates possible bonuses and randomly selects one of the bonuses for payment to the player are envisioned.
