Abstract
A gaming device includes a plurality of symbol generators displayed to a player. A plurality of symbol sets are associated with each symbol generator and each symbol set includes a plurality of symbols. Each of the symbols has a value and a probability. The processor generates one of the symbols on each of the symbol generators and marks each generated symbol. The gaming device continues generating symbols until all of the symbols in a symbol set associated with at least one of the symbol generators are marked. The game provides an award to a player when all of the symbols in at least one of the symbol sets are marked.
