Abstract

A method and device for conducting a wagering game includes defining a schedule of awards correlated to a schedule of holdings. At least one of said awards is associated with an activation criterion which includes a threshold wager amount such that the award is only activated when a wager is greater than, or equal to, the threshold wager amount. In this manner, increased wagers may result in increased holdings eligible for awards, increased likelihood that an award may be obtained, or increased awards eligible.
