Abstract

The invention consists in a method and apparatus for awarding bonus payoffs depending on a plurality of game outcomes played independently from each other. Furthermore, with this method, the individual outcome values do not influence the bonus payoff.

The present method is open to a wide variety of games, of bet conditions and schemes, of additional criteria, etc. in order to provide a new incentive to the main game.
