Abstract
In one embodiment, the gaming system and method disclosed herein substantially simultaneously provides a multi-round bonus event to a plurality of players. Each players' input(s) determine, at least in part, an award, if any, provided to that player for the bonus event. In one embodiment, upon an occurrence of a suitable triggering event, a central controller of the gaming system identifies at least one player and preferably a plurality of players who are eligible for the bonus event. The central controller causes the bonus event to be provided to those eligible players. In one such embodiment, the bonus event enables one or more eligible players in the gaming system to simultaneously (or substantially simultaneously) attempt to win the award in the bonus event. In this embodiment, the outcome of the bonus event is determined, at least in part, by one or more player inputs, choices or decisions in the bonus event.
