Abstract
A method and device for gaming, in which a primary game is played toward a winning outcome, and in which a possible bonus game is triggered by a particular outcome or outcomes on the primary game. The bonus game differs from the primary game. These devices may utilize “progressive” awards, allowing players to compete against each other for larger awards. Additionally, multiple levels of progressive awards may be offered, with each level based on the amount of the initial wager.
