Abstract
The present invention provides a gaming device having a bonus game wherein a mechanical device activates simultaneously with or immediately upon a player picking a selection having a terminator which ends a selection portion of the bonus game. The bonus game provides a player with a number of masked selections displayed on a display device. Each selection has an associated award and at least one selection has an associated terminator. The game enables the player to pick selections and accumulate a preliminary bonus award until picking a selection having a terminator. When the player picks a selection revealing a terminator, the processor simultaneously or immediately thereafter activates the mechanical device and after a period of time causes the mechanical device to display a modifier to the player which modifies the preliminary bonus award, thus determining the player's final bonus award.
