Abstract
Disclosed are games, gaming machines, gaming systems and methods including a hot pick bonus. A player selects one of a number of indicia/symbols and initiates a primary slot machine game spin. If a predetermined number of the selected symbols appear as the result of the spin, a bonus feature is initiated. Because the symbols selectable by the player occur with different frequency on the reels, the symbol chosen by the player affects the likelihood of triggering a bonus game. In general, the amount won in a bonus game is correlated to the frequency with which the selected triggering symbol combination may occur.
