Systems and methods for networked bingo are described. A machine can generate enhanced bingo tickets including symbols that can be called for a networked bingo match and extra symbols, such as a globally-designated scatter symbol that is applicable to all bingo tickets competing in the bingo match. The extra symbols can also include locally-designated extra symbols, such as a bonus trigger symbol, a bonus-counter symbol, and a multiplier symbol, that are applicable to individual bingo tickets. A first machine can provide a second machine with one or more enhanced bingo tickets over a communication network. The first and second machines can store the bingo ticket(s) as a data structure in memory. The first machine can send a symbol sequence indicating the symbols called for the bingo match. The symbol sequence can include indicators of the extra symbols being called or symbols associated with the extra symbols being called. |

1. A method comprising:
generating, by a computer-readable processor, computer-readable bingo tickets; providing, over a communication network, multiple generated bingo tickets for use in a networked bingo match, wherein the multiple generated bingo tickets include a first bingo ticket; selecting, by the processor, the first bingo ticket to include a bonus-counter symbol; selecting, by the processor, a first symbol on the first bingo ticket within a first grid position for including the bonus-counter symbol on the first bingo ticket; selecting, by the processor and from among a set of selectable symbols, a set of symbols for the networked bingo match; and determining, by the processor from among the multiple bingo tickets provided for use in the networked bingo match and based on the selected set of symbols, a winning bingo ticket that wins the networked bingo match. |
