The present invention relates to a gaming device and method having a bonus
game, where the bonus game displays a target set including a plurality of
player selectable symbols. At least one of the symbols is designated as a
target symbol in a target set. The gaming device provides a predetermined
number of picks to begin a bonus game and enables a player to use the
picks to pick symbols from the target set. If the player picks a symbol
that is not a target symbol, a relationship indicator indicates the
relationship between the target symbol and the picked symbol. The player
continues to pick symbols in the target set until the player picks the
target symbol. If the player picks a target symbol, the gaming device
enables the player to pick symbols from a new target set. The player
continues to pick symbols in target sets until the player has no picks
remaining. Preferably, the gaming device provides an award for each
picked target symbol.
