Claims40
A gaming system comprising:
- at least one display device;
- at least one input device;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to:
- (a) enable a player to make at least a first input to cause a selection of an initial multiplier;
- (b) display the selected initial multiplier;
- (c) enable the player to make at least a second input to cause a modification of the selected initial multiplier;
- (d) display a modified multiplier, said modified multiplier based on said modification of the selected initial multiplier;
- and
- (e) for each of a plurality of free games;
- (i) generate and display an outcome for said free game,
- (ii) modify said displayed outcome for said free game, wherein said modified displayed outcome is based on said modified multiplier, and
- (iii) display said modified outcome for said free game.
