A system and method for establishing an advanced incentive jackpot pool includes a plurality of gaming machines usable by a plurality of users and a host computer operatively coupled to the plurality of gaming machines. The host computer allowing a system user to select a subset of the plurality of gaming machines, allows at least one or more users to use the subset of the plurality of gaming machines, responsively establishing at least one incremental value in response thereto, and adds the at least one incremental value to the advanced incentive jackpot pool. The host computer further awards at least a portion of the advanced incentive jackpot pool to a winning one of the users in response to an occurrence of predetermined advanced incentive jackpot conditions.
