Abstract

See full text

A gaming system and method include receiving a first input indicative of a first wager amount to play a wagering game. In response to a base monetary award for a determined outcome exceeding a predetermined non-zero threshold, a rounding event is triggered. An offer to gamble a monetary amount that is at least the difference between the base monetary award and the predetermined non-zero threshold is displayed. In response to receiving a second input indicative of an acceptance of the offer to gamble, play of a gamble feature of the rounding event is initiated. In response to achieving a winning outcome in the gamble feature, a final award is awarded that is greater than the base monetary award. In response to achieving a non-winning outcome in the gamble feature, a final award is awarded that is equal to the base monetary award minus the monetary amount of the offer to gamble.
