Wagering game and method with a randomly-selected feature game

A bonusing game system and method usable with games of chance in which all participating machines are synchronized so their independent bonus rounds play simultaneously. In one embodiment, one player terminal triggers a bonus round and is deemed a 'seller' in a simulated auction, and all other active player terminals in a bank also participate as simulated 'buyers.' The &#x201c;seller&#x201d; makes choices of items to sell which are communicated to the &#x201c;buyers.&#x201d; The &#x201c;seller&#x201d; watches as simulated bids are placed on their items, and &#x201c;buyers&#x201d; participate in simulated bidding of items shown on their screens. The seller and all buyers are awarded some winnings, enabling all players' terminals that run the simultaneous simulated auction bonus round to win each time the simulated auction bonus game is invoked.

The game pieces are specially themed so that the player wins by created a path or flow from a start point to an end point, using selected bonus pieces and placing them on the indicated location points.
