Abstract
The gaming system, gaming device, and method provide a player a chance to win a tax award amount upon the occurrence of a game event that is associated with an award amount meeting or exceeding a tax threshold amount. The tax threshold amount can be an amount which, if won, triggers reporting and/or withholding requirements of a federal, state, or local government or other taxing authority. The occurrence of the game event can qualify the player to participate in a second part of the game in which a portion of the award amount is risked and the tax award amount can be won.
