ABSTRACT:
A wagering game in which a graphical indicator may be used to identify a positive outcome, or a negative outcome, or where multiple graphical indicators may be used to identify and distinguish both positive and negative outcomes in a selection game, which has a plurality of player selectable markers. The player may select markers to reveal an outcome. The outcome may be a credit award, a multiplier, or any other award that provides a player with a benefit, either monetary, or in the context of game play (e.g., a free selection). The graphical indicator is provided the player either on a random basis, as an incentive award for a player tracking system, or simply provided on the basis of game play criteria. The graphical indicator may also be used to denote a subset of markers, at least one of which has the indicated outcome.
