Systems and methods for playing a game of chance with bonus feature

A method of providing a game of chance that includes a first pay table and a second pay table different from the first pay table, said method comprising:

• providing at least one player card that includes a plurality of player indicia;
• randomly selecting, by a randomization device, a plurality of house indicia from a pool of house indicia, wherein the randomization device includes at least one of a mechanical indicia selector, an electromechanical indicia selector, a permutation generator, a hardware-based random number generator (RNG), a firmware-based RNG, and a software-based RNG;
• providing, by the randomization device, a random chance of selecting no bonus indicia;
• determining, by a processor, whether each player indicia within at least one pattern is matched by one of the selected plurality of house indicia and providing a payout to the player based on the first pay table if each player indicia within the at least one pattern is matched;
• if at least one bonus indicia is selected, determining whether the at least one bonus indicia matches at least one player indicia within the at least one pattern;
• enabling the game to be ended after 0 or more of the at least one pattern is matched;
• increasing the payout to the player upon the determination that the at least one bonus indicia matches at least one player indicia within the at least one pattern, wherein the increased payout is based on the second pay table;
• and
• displaying the payout to the player on a display device.

A system comprising:

• a memory device configured to store instructions that are executable by a processor to provide a game of chance that includes a first pay table and a second plurality of pay tables that are different from the first pay table;
• a randomization device comprising at least one of a mechanical indicia selector, an electromechanical indicia selector, a permutation generator, a hardware-based random number generator (RNG), a firmware-based RNG, and a software-based RNG, wherein said randomization device is configured to:
• randomly select a plurality of house indicia from a pool of house indicia;
• and
• provide a random chance of selecting no bonus indicia;
• and
• a processor coupled to said memory device for executing the instructions, wherein, when said processor executes the instructions, said processor is programmed to:
• provide at least one player card comprising a plurality of player indicia;
• determine whether each player indicia within at least one pattern is matched by one of the selected plurality of house indicia and provide a payout to the player based on the first pay table if each player indicia within the at least one pattern is matched;
• if a plurality of bonus indicia is selected, determine whether each bonus indicia of the plurality of bonus indicia matches a player indicia within the at least one pattern;
• enable the game to be ended after 0 or more of the at least one pattern is matched;
• and
• increase the payout to the player upon the determination that each bonus indicia of the plurality of bonus indicia matches a player indicia within the at least one pattern, wherein the increased payout is based on the second plurality of pay tables.

• enabling the game to be ended with 0 or more of the at least one pattern being matched;
• and
• increasing the payout to the player upon the determination that each bonus indicia of the plurality of bonus indicia matches a player indicia within the at least one pattern, wherein the increased payout is based on the second plurality of pay tables.
