Abstract
The gaming system and method of the present disclosure provide a Class II bingo game with a player-selectable wild spot feature. Generally, for a play of the Class II bingo game and for each player, the gaming system provides that player a bingo card and enables the player to affirmatively designate up to a designated quantity of spots of the bingo card as wild spots. The wild spots are guaranteed marks. The gaming system then draws bingo numbers until a game-winning pattern is marked on one of the players' bingo cards.
