Abstract: A gaming device displays at least one set of game outcomes and a plurality of pay-tables. Each pay-table has a plurality of awards. Each award corresponds to one game outcome. The pay-tables are arranged in ascending order based on the awards. The pay-table having the lowest awards is the base pay-table and the pay-table having the highest awards is the top pay-table. The cumulative amount of wagers made by the player determines how many pay-tables for which the player may play. If the player qualifies to play for only the base pay-table, then the awards in the base pay-table are not modified. If the player is qualified to play for a next, succeeding pay-table, then the player plays for both the base pay-table and next succeeding pay-table simultaneously and some or all of the awards of the base pay-table are modified.
