ABSTRACT:
A slots game is comprised of a plurality of stages. Each operation of the game begins with the operation of a first stage. Depending on the outcome of the first stage the game may be over, or there may be an operation of a second stage. Depending on the outcome of the second stage, the game may be over or there may be an operation of another stage. This sequence continues until the game ends or until the final (nth) stage has been operated. A bet made on a stage of the game which is not played is lost. One embodiment is a multi-stage, multi-line, multi-coin video slot machine. The same game format with the same paytable is operated on each stage, with increasing payout multipliers at each stage providing an increasing amount to win at the higher stages. The “spin” at each stage is independent of the previous stages.
