Abstract

A gaming machine and method in which awards less than the wager amount are made for some outcomes. In a video card game, hands that normally earn no award may achieve a return that is a fraction of the amount wagered, such as one fifth. In keno-type games, pay categories are added for outcomes that are ordinarily outright losses, such as awarding a selected fraction of the wager amount for hitting three out of ten spots. Alternatively, hitting one or more secondary active spots that are randomly chosen can result in an award that is a fractional multiple of the wager amount. In a spinning reel game, special symbols that may appear may be assigned a selected fractional value of the wager amount, alone or in combination with other special symbols.
