Abstract

A gaming machine and method are provided which allow a player to play a gaming machine. The gaming machine and method allow a player to make a wager on a first primary game and randomly generate an outcome of the first primary game. The gaming machine determines if an anticipation event triggering condition has occurred based at least in part on an anticipation event probability associated with the first primary game, displays an anticipation event on the display device if the anticipation event triggering condition has occurred, and displays the first primary game outcome on the display device. A number of anticipation events that have occurred during the first gaming session is calculated, and the anticipation event probability is modifying based at least in part on the number of anticipation events that have occurred. The player is awarded an award if the first primary game outcome is a winning outcome.
