System and method for implementing a secondary game within an online game

Abstract:

One aspect of the disclosure relates to implementing a secondary game within an online game. In the secondary game, a player may be provided with more than one turn, and/or to win more than one prize. The secondary game may commence with a finite set of potential awards or prizes. At individual turns, individual ones of the set of potential awards may be provided to the player. The player may have the opportunity to take turns in the secondary game until all of the potential awards have been "won." Costs of the individual turns may be determined based on the value of the potential awards in the set of potential awards that have not yet been won.
