bonus round

Extra prize opportunity

A bonus round is an extra stage in a game that offers additional rewards beyond normal play—typically triggered by achieving a goal or accumulating enough points.

The term extends beyond gaming to describe any unexpected opportunity for extra gain: We finished early, so the boss gave us a bonus round of questions for double credit.
