ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for allowing additional selections of predefined objects during a wagering game is disclosed. In one embodiment, at the onset of the game, a fixed number of selections and selectable objects is defined by the game and is presented to the player. Each selectable object has identifiable similarities or identical characteristics with at least one other object creating the potential of selecting matched sets. If a matched set is selected within the predetermined allowed number of selections, the matched set is removed from the selected group of objects. A number identical to the number of objects in the matched set is added to the available selections count. This method gives more control to the player and provides another element to the wagering game by adding the possibility of additional selections to the possibility of other awards.
