FIELD

The present invention relates generally to gaming machines and systems, and more particularly, to gaming machines and systems found in casinos or betting environments.

BACKGROUND

Gaming machines, otherwise known as slot machines, poker machines, video lottery terminals, or gaming consoles, have proven very popular within the gaming environment to become one of the base elements of the gaming industry. Players, however, quickly become tired of various adaptations of gaming machines, demanding new and inventive ways to represent or play games on such gaming machines. For this reason, game creators must continually invent new and innovative ways to represent games, game play, and award types to stimulate players to encourage further interest.

SUMMARY

In accordance with various aspects, a gaming system and method are configured to provide various options for a player to play one or more of multiple games. Of the multiple games offered to the player, at least two of the games may have different return percentages. Therefore, a player may attempt to determine which game(s) of the offered games provide the best odds for the player.

In various embodiments, a gaming system may comprise a processor, a gaming machine in electronic communication with the processor comprising a first game selection device and a second game selection device, and a memory device in electronic communication with the processor. Multiple games may be stored on the memory device (e.g., a first game and a second game). The gaming machine may provide a first option for a player to select the first game selection device to play the first game and a second option for the player to select the second game selection device to play the second game. The first game may comprise a first return percentage, and the second game may comprise a second return percentage different than the first return percentage. Therefore, a player may play the first and second games on the gaming machine numerous times to try to observe which of the games has the higher return percentage, and therefore, provides better odds for the player to win.
