The present invention is directed to a gaming terminal and a method of
playing a wagering game. The wagering game may include a basic game and a
bonus game that includes selectable objects. The objects can be selected
by a player or by a computer. Each of the selectable objects is
associated with a bonus award. During game play, a player or computer
selects objects until a predetermined number of selections occurs or a
stop-selection feature occurs. After selection ends, the bonus awards
associated with the selected objects are displayed. Subsequently, the
awards associated with the non-selected objects may be revealed. At this
time, instead of the game ending, at least one of the awards associated
with the selected objects is altered, producing an adjusted bonus award
for that selection. The player receives an overall bonus award that is
based on the adjusted bonus awards.
