Abstract

A base casino game of chance (710) such as a video slot reel game in which a wager (700) is received from a player in normal play mode. The base casino game of chance (710) generates a game outcome in normal play mode. When the game outcome or a portion thereof matches a free play mode game outcome (first game outcome), then continuing in free play mode to play the base casino game of chance (710) until a game outcome or a portion thereof matches a stop free play mode game outcome (second game outcome) (600). The base casino game of chance (710) then returns to normal play mode. The player in one embodiment selects the first game outcome to enter free play mode. The frequency of entering the free play mode from the normal play mode is less than the frequency of entering the normal play mode from the free play mode.
