The present invention provides a gaming device, and more particularly a
gaming device having a multi-round bonus scheme wherein each round has a
probability of success. In one embodiment, the game maintains and
displays a group of symbols, each symbol having an associated selector
with which a player can select the symbol. The game also maintains and
associates an item with the group, whereby the game can associate a
variable quantity of the item with one or more of the symbols of the
group. The player preferably chooses one selector and thus one symbol
from each group of symbols. If the chosen symbol has an associated item,
the game awards the player with a prize. If the player chooses a symbol
unassociated with an item, the game does not award the player with a
prize. Each round provides a group of symbols with different
probabilities of the association of items to symbols.
