Techniques for providing progressive games in a gaming environment are disclosed. Progressive configuration data can effectively define one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines. The progressive gaming data can, for example, be provided as a set of rules (e.g., rules in an XSLT form). A progressive configurator uses the progressive configuration data and gaming data received from the gaming machines in order to effectively implement one or more progressive games. The gaming data can, for example, include information about a gaming machine (e.g., serial number, network, location), one or more games available on the gaming machine (e.g., type of the game, minimum and maximum bet for a game), and data regarding a specific game instance (e.g., amount wagered, outcome of a game instance). In addition, the amount of contribution to a progressive game, whether there is a win, and/or prize to be rewarded can be determined by the progressive configurator and/or a progressive gaming manager. |

1. A computing system for providing one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games, wherein said computing system comprises one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more processors and the one or more memories operably connected, and wherein the computing system is configured to:
identify progressive configuration data for at least one progressive game for said gaming environment, the progressive configuration data comprising requirements for participation in said at least one progressive game, wherein the progressive configuration data is in an XSLT format; receive initial gaming data associated with said one or more gaming machines from said one or more gaming machines, wherein said initial gaming data includes gaming capabilities and gaming parameters of said gaming machines including at information indicating an outcome probability for a game offered on said one or more gaming machines, and wherein the initial gaming data is in an XML format; determine whether said one or more gaming machines is to participate in said at least one progressive game based on whether the received outcome probability included in the initial gaming data meets the requirements of said progressive configuration data; and allow said one or more gaming machines to participate in said at least one progressive game if it is determined that the received outcome probability included in the initial gaming data meets the requirements of said progressive configuration data. |
