Patent attributes
A gaming machine having a pick and spin bonus scheme is provided where, in response to a player selection from among a number of selections, or picks, (1) game play occurs yielding a game play outcome, and (2) a separate action occurs where the separate action is a result of the player selection. The final outcome therefore, is a combination of the result of the game play outcome plus the result of the separate action. For a slot machine having a pick and spin bonus scheme, in response to a player selection of a tile from a row of tiles where multiple rows of tiles form a grid, (1) video reels spin and stop yielding a game play outcome and (2) a separate action occurs where the separate action is a result of the player tile selection. The separate action may enhance, prolong or end bonus game play.
