Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gaming system and method providing a keno game including an object removal feature that may trigger a secondary award. In one embodiment, the keno game is associated with a plurality of keno numbers and a plurality of sets of objects. Each object is associated with one of the keno numbers. The gaming system displays the sets of objects in different layers stacked one atop the other. If an object removal event occurs during play of the keno game, the gaming system removes (at least) one of the displayed objects such that the object is no longer displayed, and determines if a secondary award triggering event occurred based on the removal of the object. If so, the gaming system determines and provides a secondary award. The occurrence of the object removal event thus provides an opportunity for the secondary award triggering event to occur.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及提供基诺游戏的游戏系统和方法，其包括可触发次要奖励的对象删除特征。 在一个实施例中，基诺游戏与多个基诺数字和多组对象相关联。 每个对象与基诺数字之一相关联。 游戏系统显示不同层叠在一起的对象集合。 如果在基诺游戏中发生对象去除事件，则游戏系统移除（至少）一个所显示的对象，使得该对象不再显示，并且基于删除该对象来确定是否发生次要奖励触发事件 目的。 如果是这样，游戏系统确定并提供二级奖励。 因此，对象去除事件的发生提供了发生次要奖励触发事件的机会。

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gaming system and method providing a multiplayer secondary game having an outcome determined based on play of a primary game of at least one, but not all, of the secondary game players. In various embodiments, play of a primary game of a designated one of a plurality of players of a secondary game controls play of the secondary game independent of any play of any primary games of the other players of the secondary game. Put differently, play of the secondary game depends on play of the primary game of the designated player and does not depend on any play of any primary games of the other. Thus, while multiple players participate in the secondary game and may concurrently play individual primary games, play of the primary game of one, but not all, of those players controls play of the secondary game.

Abstract translation: 本公开的各种实施例提供一种游戏系统和方法，其提供具有基于次要游戏玩家至少一个但不是全部的主游戏的游戏而确定的结果的多人次要游戏。 在各种实施例中，次要游戏的多个玩家的指定的一个的主要游戏的游戏独立于辅助游戏的其他玩家的任何主要游戏的任何游戏的游戏来控制二次游戏的游戏。 换句话说，二次游戏的玩法取决于指定玩家的主要游戏的玩法，并不依赖于对方的任何主要游戏的任何游戏。 因此，虽然多个玩家参与二次游戏并且可以同时玩独立的主要游戏，但是这些玩家中的一个但不是全部的主要游戏的玩法控制二次游戏的游戏。
