Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03083795A1] A casino gaming apparatus may include a display unit capable of generating video images, a value input device, and a controller operatively coupled to the display unit. The controller may comprise a processor and a memory and may be programmed to allow a person to make a wager, to cause a video to be generated on the display unit, to determine if a player has won a given number of consecutive winnings games, and to determine a bonus value payout if a player has won a subsequent game after winning the given number of consecutive winning games without an intervening losing game, the bonus value payout being based on a normal value payout that would have been paid out for winning the subsequent game without previously winning the given number of consecutive winning games.
