A gaming apparatus comprises a server and a client computer, each operating under stored program control and in communication with each other by means of a communication network. The client computer is usable by a player to place a wager on an outcome of a particular spin of a roulette wheel, as well as a side ager on a combined outcome of the particular spin of the roulette wheel and one or more immediately preceding spins of the wheel. A portion of each side wager is accumulated in a pooled jackpot. Once the wagers have been placed, the gaming server randomly selects the outcome of the particular spin of the roulette wheel, and evaluates the success, or otherwise, of the side wager. The side wager is successful if the outcomes of the particular spin of the roulette wheel, and the immediately preceding spins are identical. The outcome of the particular spin of the roulette wheel and the success, or otherwise, of the side wager are transmitted by the gaming server along the communication network to the client computer for display to the player. A successful side wager wins for the player the accumulated contents of the pooled jackpot.
