Gaming machines are disclosed having a basic mode defining a plurality of
reels and a bonus mode defining a plurality of stations about a game board
(e.g., MONOPOLY board) traversable by a token identifier. The disclosure
describes a plurality of play features for the basic and/or bonus modes
including (1) a feature allowing the player to select a game token; (2) a
feature allowing the player to predict and wager on landing position(s) of
the token identifier; (3) a feature allowing the player to obtain
deferred-execution instruction(s) which are exercisable by the processor
to override later-issued instruction(s) otherwise to be executed by the
processor; (4) a feature in which movements of the token identifier are
determined according to movement tables corresponding to the various
stations of the game board; (5) a feature in which escalating bonuses are
awarded for reaching a designated bonus square (e.g., the `GO` square);
(6) a feature in which bonuses are awarded for completing groups of
stations (e.g., color groups); and (7) a feature in which the gaming
machine includes two bonus modes, each entered upon certain symbol
combinations in the basic game. The first bonus game provides an award
selected from a plurality of fixed values and multipliers, and the second
bonus game moves a token identifier on a game board and provides an award
determined by the landing station of the token identifier.
