A gaming terminal for playing a wagering game includes a basic game and a bonus game. The basic game has a plurality of symbols that indicate a randomly selected outcome from a plurality of outcomes in response to a wager input by a player. The bonus game is triggered by a predetermined event such as by selecting a start-bonus outcome from the plurality of outcomes. The bonus game includes a plurality of free spins and a plurality of blind selections, at least one of the blind selections being selected before playing each of the free spins. The selected blind selection reveals a bonus enhancement that is provided to the player after the bonus enhancement has been revealed.
