    Abstract: Disclosed are a game, gaming device, system and method for initiating play of a feature game having a fixed cost of entry. A portion of each wager of a base game may be allocated to a pool for entry into the feature game. When the entire cost of entry has been accumulated, the feature game may be triggered. A visual indicator may tell a player when the next feature game will be paid for and available for play. Furthermore, the player may have an option to buy immediate play of the feature game, the immediate cost to the player prorated according to the amount already in the fund. Once the feature game is initiated, the pool is cleared, the feature game is played and the process repeats.
