ABSTRACT:
Bonus designations are considered along with the regular game designations to distinguish between different pattern result levels in a bingo game. A set of one or more bonus designations is selected. Each bonus designation included in the set of bonus designations may be selected from the same pool of bingo designations from which the bingo card designations and game designations are selected. The set of bonus designations is applied to distinguish between a number of pattern result levels associated with each winning pattern that may be achieved in the bingo game and to identify a particular one of the pattern result levels for the respective player/game play request. A prize for each respective player/game play request is awarded based on the pattern result level identified for the respective player/game play request.
