A novel networked game, such as poker, having one or more jackpots, includes a lobby screen display from which a player can request to be seated at one or more of a plurality of virtual game tables which are identified as jackpot game tables. Playing cards are electronically dealt to players at the jackpot game tables from an electronic game deck, thereby forming player hands. A dynamic game table screen display presented to each player includes a representation of a game table and players, and, at one or more times: a representation of the playing cards forming the player's hand, an indication of a fee to be collected from a pot containing amounts wagered by players for funding a jackpot, a jackpot counter for indicating the cumulative funds in the jackpot, and a message identifying one or more players at the table who have won funds from the jackpot, and the amounts which they have won.
