ABSTRACT:
A gaming device with a scatter pay formed by enabling a player to pick a plurality of symbol display areas. The symbols generated to be displayed in the picked symbol display areas of the scatter pay are evaluated by the gaming device for a winning combination. In one embodiment, whether an award is associated with a combination of symbols generated in the picked symbol display areas of the scatter pay is based on a separate scatter pay paytable. In one embodiment, the player is enabled to pick a predetermined number of symbol display areas upon the generation of a triggering symbol. Alternatively, the player is enabled to pick the symbol display areas to be included in a scatter pay based on making a wager of a predetermined amount.
