ABSTRACT:
A gaming device having a multi-characteristic matching game including a plurality of rounds. In each round, the gaming device displays a base and a plurality of selections including at least two characteristics. The gaming device enables a player to pick one of the selections to match at least one of the characteristics of the selection with one of the characteristics of the base. The player continues to pick selections until there are no selections remaining in the round that include at least one characteristic that matches one of the characteristics of the base. The gaming device then initiates the next round. The player continues to pick selections in each of the rounds until there are no rounds remaining. The gaming device determines a modified award in each round based on a modifier associated with each round. The modified awards are summed to provide a total award for the game.
