A gaming device comprising: a game; a display device; a plurality of possible comparisons displayable by said display device in the game; at least three choices displayed by said display device in each displayed comparison, wherein each choice either trumps or is trumped by at least one other of said choices; means for a player to select one of said choices in each displayed comparison; and a processor for controlling the display device and choice selection means, wherein in each displayed comparison, said processor: (i) enables the player to select one of said choices using the choice selection means and randomly selects one of a win outcome, a draw outcome and a lose outcome for the player, (ii) selects one of the choices which is trumped by the player's choice if the selected outcome is the win outcome, wherein the processor provides an award to the player and displays at least one additional comparison in the game when the selected outcome is the win outcome, (iii) selects one of the choices which trumps the player's choice if the selected outcome is the lose outcome, wherein the processor does not display another comparison in the game when the selected outcome is the lose outcome, and wherein the lose outcome is a loss of a further opportunity to generate player win outcomes, without lessening a previous win outcome provided to the player in a previous displayed comparison, and (iv) selects one of the choices which does not trump and is not trumped by the selected choice if the selected outcome is the draw outcome, wherein the processor displays at least one additional comparison in the game when the selected outcome is the draw outcome, (v) displays said selected choice and then displays said selected outcome on the display device, and (vi) repeats (i) to (v) until the processor stops displaying the comparisons in the game or until there are no comparisons remaining in the game.
