A gaming device that has an award modification function for player selectable awards that may be implemented with a primary or bonus game. More specifically, a processor controlled gaming device randomly generates a plurality of positions or digits of an award and enables the player to pick which position or digit receives a first randomly generated number, which digit receives a second randomly generated number, etc., until each of the positions have a number, whereby the gaming device determines the player's ultimate award. A plurality of modification methods can be employed to individually modify the digits of the award.

The invention is claimed as follows: 1. A gaming device operable under control of at least one processor, said gaming device comprising; at least one display device; at least one input device; and said at least one processor programmed to operate with said at least one display device and said at least one input device to: (a) display a plurality of individual initial digits of an initial award, wherein each said initial digit is displayed in one of a plurality of digit positions of the award, said individual initial digits defining an amount of the initial award, (b) cause a selection of one of the plurality of digit positions, (c) cause a generation of a replacement digit for individually replacing the initial digit displayed in said selected digit position, said generation independent of the initial digit in said selected digit position, and (d) display the replacement digit in said selected digit position in place of the initial digit in said selected digit position, wherein said replacement digit and any remaining said individual initial digits define an amount of a modified award. 2. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with said at least one display device to provide the modified award to a player. 3. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of individual initial digits are generated in at least one game event preceding the display of the plurality of individual initial digits. 4. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to randomly generate the plurality of individual initial digits. 5. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to enable a player to cause a generation of at least one of the plurality of individual initial digits. 6. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to randomly generate the replacement digit. 7. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to enable a player to cause a generation of said replacement digit. 8. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to randomly select said one of the plurality of digit positions. 9. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to enable a player to select one of the plurality of digit positions. 10. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with said at least one display device to cause the generation of the replacement digit upon activation of the input device. 11. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with said at least one display device to cause a selection of a plurality of the digit positions, and for each selected digit position: (i) cause a generation of a replacement digit for individually replacing said initial digit displayed in said selected digit position, said generation independent of the initial digit in said selected digit position, and (ii) display the replacement digit in said selected digit position in place of the initial digit in said selected digit position, wherein any said remaining individual initial digits and said replacement digits define the amount of the modified award. 12. The gaming device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with said at least one display device to additionally perform at least one of the following modifications: (i) rearrange at least two of the digits displayed in the digit positions; (ii) add at least one digit to the digits displayed in the digit positions; (iii) remove at least one digit from the digits displayed in the digit positions; and (iv) multiply at least one digit displayed in the digit positions. 13. The gaming device of claim 12, wherein the modifications are performed on digits displayed in digit positions of the modified award. 14. A gaming device operable under control of at least one processor, said gaming device comprising: at least one display device; at least one input device; and said at least one processor programmed to operate with said at least one display device to: (a) display a plurality of individual digits of an initial award, wherein each said digit is displayed in one of a plurality of digit positions for the initial award, said individual digits defining an amount of the initial award, (b) individually modify one of the digits displayed in one of said digit positions according to a first digit modification method and display said modified digit, said modification independent of the initial digit in said digit position, and (c) individually modify one of the digits displayed in one of said digit positions according to a different second digit modification method and display said modified digit, said modification independent of the digit in said digit position, wherein thereafter, said digits in the digit positions define an amount of a modified award. 15. The gaming device of claim 14, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with said at least one display device to provide the modified award to a player. 16. The gaming device of claim 14, wherein the plurality of individual digits are generated in at least one game event preceding the display of the plurality of individual initial digits. 17. The gaming device of claim 14, wherein the digit position displaying the digit modified according to the first digit modification method is different from the digit position displaying the digit modified according to the second digit modification method. 18. The gaming device of claim 14, wherein the first and second digit modification methods are selected from the group consisting of: (i) rearranging at least two of the digits displayed in the digit positions; (ii) regenerating at least one of the digits displayed in the digit positions; (iii) adding at least one digit to the digits displayed in the digit positions; (iv) subtracting at least one digit from the digits displayed in the digit positions; and (v) multiplying at least one of the digits displayed in the digit positions. 19. A gaming device operable under control of at least one processor, said gaming device comprising: at least one display device; at least one input device; and said at least one processor programmed to operate with said at least one display device to: (a) display a plurality of individual initial digits of an initial award, wherein each said initial digit is displayed in one of a plurality of digit positions for the initial award, said individual initial digits defining and amount of the initial award, (b) if the amount of said initial award is less than an expected value for said initial award, select one of a plurality of different award modification methods, and cause said selected award modification method to individually modify each of at least one of said initial digits of the initial award, each said modification being of an individual initial digit of the initial award, and (c) display any unmodified initial digits and any digits resulting from said modification, wherein any said displayed unmodified initial digits and digits resulting from said modification define an amount of a modified award. 20. The gaming device of claim 19, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to operate with said at least one display device to provide the modified award to a player. 21. The gaming device of claim 19, wherein the plurality of individual initial digits are generated in at least one game event preceding the display of the plurality of individual initial digits. 22. The gaming device of claim 19, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to randomly generate the plurality of individual initial digits.
