Wagering Game Having Interlinked Progressive Values With Shared Increment

摘要

A gaming system is primarily dedicated to playing a regulated casino wagering game providing eligibility to a plurality of progressive jackpots. The gaming system comprises a secure gaming cabinet, an electronic display device, an electronic input device, a random element generator, and game-logic circuitry. The game-logic circuitry is configured to allocate a portion of the wager to at least one of a first group of progressive jackpots, direct the electronic display device to increment the value of the first group of progressive jackpots, and direct the electronic display device to increment the values of a second group progressive jackpots based on the values of the first group of progressive jackpots. And, in response to a progressive-triggering outcome, the game-logic circuitry directs the electronic display device to display a reset value for the awarded progressive jackpot and an altered reduced value for another one of the progressive jackpots.

1. A gaming system primarily dedicated to playing a regulated casino wagering game providing eligibility to a plurality of progressive jackpots, the gaming system comprising:
a secure gaming cabinet for housing components associated with the casino wagering game; an electronic display device coupled to the gaming cabinet; an electronic input device coupled to the gaming cabinet, the electronic input device configured to receive a physical input from a player indicative of a wager to initiate the casino wagering game and transform the input into an electronic data signal; a random element generator configured to generate one or more random elements; and game-logic circuitry configured to:
initiate the casino wagering game in response to the electronic data signal from the electronic input device,determine an outcome of the casino wagering game based, at least in part, on the one or more random elements;direct the electronic display device to display values associated with the plurality of progressive jackpots;allocate a portion of the wager to at least one of a plurality of primary progressive jackpot within the plurality of progressive jackpots;direct the electronic display device to increment the values of the at least one primary progressive jackpot based on the allocated portion of the wager;direct the electronic display device to increment the values of a plurality of secondary progressive jackpots within the plurality of progressive jackpots based on the values of the primary progressive jackpots such that incrementing one of the primary progressive jackpots causes incrementing of at least one secondary progressive jackpot;award a tangible award in response to the outcome being a progressive-triggering outcome, the progressive-triggering outcome resulting in one of the secondary progressive jackpots being awarded to the player; andin response to the outcome being the progressive-triggering outcome, direct the electronic display device to display a reset value for the awarded one of the secondary progressive jackpots and a reset value for at least one primary progressive jackpot upon which the value of the awarded one of the secondary progressive jackpots was based.
