Abstract
A game includes the opportunity for a bonus award. As part of the play of a game, such as a game of video poker, one of the possible winning outcomes is selected and designated a bonus winning outcome. If the player receives that outcome as a result of game play, the player is paid a bonus which is larger than the normal payout for that outcome. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the bonus is funded from a progressive pool. Various embodiments of the invention comprise methods of determining a bonus in a game environment where multiple denomination bets may be placed and where a bonus is awarded for outcomes having different probabilities of occurring.
