<p>A method for paying a progressive jackpot in a wide area progressive system (10) having a progressive controller (2, 20) linked to groups (30) of gaming terminals (40). Each gaming terminal (40) using software determines, based upon at least the broadcast current progressive jackpot amount (80) and the received wager (230), at least one fractional portion (90) of the broadcast current progressive jackpot amount (80) that may be won by the player when a progressive event occurs in play of the casino game of chance at the gaming terminal (40). The fractional progressive jackpot amount (90) is delivered from the gaming terminal (40) back to the progressive controller (2, 20) where it is deducted before the next current progressive jackpot amount is broadcast.</p> |
