摘要

A progressive jackpot game provides an auxiliary opportunity for players at a casino to win a prize from the progressive jackpot by participating with a relatively small contribution to the progressive jackpot each time they play a round in the principal casino game. To increase the element of random chance or luck in winning a prize from the progressive jackpot game, a method and apparatus is provided for randomly choosing a winning card or combination of cards, or randomly selecting a person or group of persons eligible to win upon possession of the card or combination of cards. The amount of the prize can also be randomly selected either as a fixed amount or percentage of the progressive jackpot.
