ABSTRACT:
A game for a wagering gaming device including a plurality of levels of selections. The game provides the player with a number of picks. When the player makes a pick from one of the selection levels, the game reveals an outcome. The outcome can be a “repeat” outcome, wherein the pick counts and the player picks again from the same level. The outcome can be an “advance” outcome, wherein the pick counts and the player picks from a next selection level. The outcome can be a “pass” outcome, wherein the pick does not count against the player's total picks and which enables the player to pick from a next selection level. In general, the player's award is greater the more the player can pick from higher levels. In one embodiment, the pass enables the player to pick from a previous selection level.
