The preferred method of accumulating a jackpot amount includes the step 10 of initializing a variable representing the jackpot amount and the step 11 of initializing a variable representing a lump sum. At step 12 a signal including data indicative of gaming activity is received by the controller 2, which calculates first and second increments in dependence upon said data at steps 13 and 14. The jackpot amount is incremented by the first increment at step 13 and, in response to a trigger, the jackpot amount is incremented by the lump sum at step 16. This provides a method of accumulating a jackpot amount that is volatile, unpredictable and exciting for the players of the linked jackpot game. |
