Claim 0:
1. A system for implementing a bonus providing element distinct from play of an underlying table game for indicating at least one award to at least one qualifying player of said underlying table game based upon an occurrence of a generated bonus triggering event in the underlying table game, where the generated bonus triggering event may comprise a number of underlying game event triggers which randomly vary from one play of the underlying table game to another, comprising:
a controller;
at least one input device configured to receive an input regarding events associated with said underlying table game;
at least one memory;
a table of selectable numbers of triggers stored in said at least one memory, said selectable numbers of triggers comprising at least a first number of triggers and a second number of triggers, the second number being different than the first number;
a database of underlying table game events stored in said at least one memory, said underlying table game events comprising events associated with said underlying table game;
at least one display device;
machine-readable code stored in said at least one memory and executable by said controller to implement at least one random number generator; and
machine-readable code stored in said at least one memory and executable by said controller to cause said controller to:
generate a bonus triggering event comprising utilizing a first random number generated by said at least one random number generator to select a number of triggers from said table and utilizing one or more second random numbers generated by said at least one random number generator to select, from said database of underlying table game events, an underlying table game event corresponding to each of said number of triggers, wherein relative to the play of at least one underlying table game, said generated bonus triggering event comprises a first number of triggers and wherein relative to the play of at least one other underlying game, said generated bonus triggering event comprises a second number of triggers;
cause said at least one display device to display an indication of said triggers corresponding to said generated bonus triggering event before a conclusion of said underlying game;
utilize said input from said at least one input device to determine if any of said number of triggers of said generated bonus triggering event has occurred in said underlying game and, if so:
activating said bonus providing element; and
causing said at least one display device to display a graphical selection of at least one bonus providing element from a set of bonus providing elements for award to at least one player of said underlying game.
