摘要：

The gaming device of the present invention has a main game and a secondary game. Upon winning an award in the main game, the user of the gaming device can decide if he wants to risk any portion of his award and either win or lose that amount in a secondary game. Because the player can decide whether he wants to wager the whole award or just a part of the award, he is actively included in the game and the decision making process, which increases the tension and the fun of the game. In one embodiment, displays are included that display, for the secondary game, the maximum award achievable. Therefore, the player knows how many secondary games must be played (and won) to reach the maximum award. The main game may be a video or actual reel type game (or any other type of game), and the secondary game may be any random selection type of game or a game partly based on a player's decision or skill.
