Abstract: A gaming system offers players the opportunity to play a skill-based challenge. Following the skill-based challenge, the player plays a chance-based prize round in which the player has the opportunity to win a prize. The gaming system receives a wager from a player and determines that the player has purchased a persistent skill enhancement that can be used by the player whenever the player is playing the skill-based challenge. The gaming system initiates the skill-based challenge including the persistent skill enhancement. Upon completion of the skill-based challenge, the gaming system awards the player at least one entry into a chance-based prize round. The probability of winning the chance-based prize round may be enhanced based on the outcome of the skill-based challenge. The gaming system then initiates the chance-based prize round and may award a monetary prize to the player in response to an outcome of the chance-based prize round.
