A method of implementing a wagering game, the method comprising: performing the following operations on an electronic gaming machine: receiving on the electronic gaming machine a cash amount from a player; converting the cash amount into a playable amount of wagering credits; simultaneously wagering on the electronic gaming machine a first amount W 1 of the wagering credits on a first bet B 1 , and a second amount W 2 of the wagering credits on a second bet B 2 , wherein a variance of B 1 differs from a variance of B 2 ; generating and displaying on the electronic gaming machine a first outcome O 1 for the first amount W 1 bet on the first bet B 1 and a second outcome O 2 for the second amount W 2 bet on the second bet B 2 , and computing an aggregated credit gain based on the first outcome and the second outcome O 1 +O 2 ; associating an association of a plurality of aggregated credit gains with respective multipliers; determining a particular multiplier using the association based on the aggregated credit gain; calculating an aggregated wager amount (W 1 +W 2 ) by combining the first amount W 1 and the second amount W 2 ; multiplying the aggregated wager amount (W 1 +W 2 ) by the particular multiplier to generate an award amount; and increasing the wagering credits on the electronic gaming machine by the award amount.
