Abstract

A method of playing a wagering game whose outcome is determined by a selection of winning symbols from a group of usual randomly generated symbols to fill a predetermined number of spots includes at least one additional symbol. The player initially selects a set of player winning symbols and then wagers that a predetermined number of the set of player winning symbols will match those selected. A predetermined number of winning symbols to fill the spots are then randomly selected, including usual winning symbols selected from the group of the usual symbols and, potentially, the additional symbol possibly selected by use of a selection scheme. Thereafter, the wager is settled at one of: a) a first payoff if the additional symbol is not selected and a predetermined number of the set of player winning symbols match the selected usual winning symbols; and b) a second payoff if an additional symbol is selected and a predetermined number of the set of player winning symbols match the selected usual winning symbols. In a preferred embodiment, the adding step includes the adding of a second additional symbol different from the first-mentioned additional symbol so that the wager is settled at different payoffs depending on which one, if any, of the two different additional symbols is selected. The additional symbol can be added to the usual symbols, or to a separate selection device containing other symbols from which the additional symbol may be randomly selected separate from the usual symbols.
