ABSTRACT:
A gaming device having an offer and acceptance game with a plurality of award pools, a reveal feature and a modify feature. When the game is initiated, the gaming device randomly selects a pre-determined pool of awards from a plurality of pre-determined pools of awards which each includes a pre-determined initial award or offer. The awards included in the selected pool of awards are displayed to the player. The gaming device randomly associates the plurality of awards from the selected pre-determined pool of awards with a plurality of selectable selections. The gaming device enables the player to either accept the initial award or select one of the selections. If the player accepts the initial award, the player obtains the initial award and the game ends. If the player selects one of the selections, the gaming device reveals the alternate award associated with the player selected selection, the player obtains the revealed alternate award and the game ends. In one embodiment, after the player has obtained or accepted an award, the gaming device provides the player an opportunity to modify or increase the obtained award by selecting a masked choice which is associated with a modifier.
