A processor controlled gaming device that randomly generates and displays a pachinko-type game and outcome on a screen connected to the processor. The gaming device initially provides a preliminary game that yields the number of attempts or objects that the player has in the pachinko-type game. Next, the game displays the pachinko-type game screen having a player selectable starting area. The starting area is large enough so that when the player picks a certain position of the area, the object falls from the selected position, hits a plurality of pegs and lands in an award position. The selected start position affects which award position that object eventually falls in accordance with the probability distribution predicted by the laws of physics. The player's award, however, is not affected by which start position the player selects.

A gaming device having an offer and acceptance bonus game which enables the player to determine all of the offers made to the player prior to any of them being displayed to the player. An alternative embodiment enables the player to obtain modified offers during the play of the bonus game by providing the player with additional picks which correspond to additional or combined offers.

Gaming device having an offer and acceptance game with a player selection feature

The present invention provides a processor controlled gaming device that randomly generates and displays a pachinko-type game and outcome on a screen connected to the processor. The gaming device initially provides a preliminary game that yields the number of attempts or objects that the player has in the pachinko-type game. Next, the game displays the pachinko-type game screen having a player selectable starting area.
