Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to a gaming device having an improved offer and acceptance game.
- Gaming devices such as slot machines, having primary and secondary or bonus games or schemes are well known.
- One well known bonus game provides a player with a series of award offers consisting of credits or dollars. The player may either accept each award offer or reject each award offer; however, the player must accept the final award offer. If the player accepts an award offer, the player keeps the award offered to the player. If the player rejects the award offer, the gaming device provides another award offer to the player except if the award offer is the final award offer.
- the award offers are randomly determined from a series of award offers of differing values.
- the present invention provides a gaming device having an improved offer and acceptance game and particularly a bonus game.
- the gaming device provides the player an opportunity to select an offer provided to the player during the bonus game from a plurality of masked selections. A value is associated with each masked selection. The player selects one of the masked selections and the gaming device reveals the value associated with that masked selection. The revealed value is the player's offer. If the player accepts the offer, the player obtains the offer and the bonus game ends.
- the player may make another selection from the plurality of masked selections.
- the values may be randomly determined or arranged prior to or during the selection process from a pool of values.
- the value associated with the rejected offer remains in the pool of values and may be reassociated with another masked selection for the player's subsequent selections.
- the gaming device reveals the values associated with the non-selected masked selections.
- the gaming device provides the player with a plurality of masked selections.
- the gaming device briefly reveals to the player one or more of the values which will be associated with one or more of the masked selections.
- the gaming device conceals all of the values including the revealed value and displays the plurality of selections being shuffled into a different configuration.
- the player is prompted to pick the selection with the maximum associated value.
- the gaming device reveals to the player the value associated with the selection picked by the player.
- the revealed value is the player's offer. If the player selected the maximum value, the player obtains that value as their bonus award and the bonus game ends. If the maximum value is not selected, the player simply obtains the value associated with their selected masked selection and the game ends.
- the player may accept the offer or the player may attempt to reselect the maximum value revealed to the player. If the offer is rejected, the value associated with the rejected offer may be reassociated with another selection and selected again in a subsequent selection by the player. If the offer is rejected, the gaming device displays the plurality of masked selections being reshuffled into a different configuration and the bonus game proceeds as described above. The bonus round continues until either the player accepts an offer or the player has completed a predetermined number of opportunities to select masked selections. In the case where the player rejects all of the offers prior to the last possible offer, the gaming device provides the player with the last offer, which the player cannot reject.
- the present invention provides an improved offer and acceptance bonus game in which player, and not the gaming device, selects the outcome of the bonus game and particularly the offers provided to the player. It should also be appreciated that the present invention may be adapted for a primary game. It is therefore an advantage of the present invention to provide a gaming device having an improved offer and acceptance game.
