An on line, multiplayer gaming system comprises a game server and player client stations, and the system provides virtual or 'ghost' players when additional players are required. The ghost players may be provided within the server, and each ghost player may have an artificial intelligence or AI device. The ghost players may each have characteristics including (i) an intelligence factor, (ii) a question pass factor, (iii) a question risk factor, (iv) a question speed factor, and/or (v) a question favourite. The game may comprise multiple choice questions, and the ghost player may be activated by the first player entering the gaming system. The gaming system may include a staking system for allowing ghost players to place wagers or bets, and the staking system may provide separate ghost balances for separate categories and subjects of question. Winnings made by ghost players may be paid into the ghost balance to fund further wagering, and the ghost behaviour may maintain a financially neutral performance. |
