Abstract

A game feature, and especially a bonus event game feature for video wagering apparatus has a unique method of displaying at least some of the potential individual rewards or other bonus event results, hiding those potential individual awards or other bonus event results 'beneath' a symbol or region, rearranging a location of the awards, allowing the player to select a symbol or region according to game play methods, and revealing at least the awards or other bonus event results that were underneath selected symbols or areas. Excitement is promoted by having a player anticipate the availability of specific bonus game awards and events during the selection process, as opposed to making selections without any specific knowledge of at least some of the specific bonuses or events that are potentially available in the bonus event.
