It is acceptable for a game to offer a mystery award, which is an award that is not tied to any specific symbol combination, if such game indicates the maximum amount the player potentially could win. If the minimum amount that potentially could be won is not displayed, such amount will be assumed to be zero. In addition, both a minimum and maximum amount shall be displayed for any mystery award if the method to receive such award involves strategy or skill, including methods whereby the value of the pay table is used in order to make decisions that could increase the return to the player (e.g., video poker).
