A method for providing bonus jackpot payoffs during a bonus mode time period in a system (10) of linked gaming machines (G) interconnected to a controller (30). Eligible gaming machines are determined at the time (TBM) the bonus period starts. Once the bonus mode time period starts, a portion (S) of the eligible (E) gaming machines are randomly selected for multiple jackpot bonus payoff opportunities (BO). The random selection determines the rate (R) the opportunities are issued and the average length of the bonus mode time period. The underlying gaming machine is responsible, in a conventional fashion, for paying the game payoff and the controller (30) then authorizes a further jackpot bonus payoff of the bonus multiplier (BM) less one times the game payoff. The bonus pool value is the decremented by the amount paid by the controller.
