Abstract
A gaming method and system are described where a visible jackpot and an invisible jackpot are accumulated for a plurality of gaming machines connected in a network. The visible jackpot is paid when one of the gaming machines in the plurality achieves certain criteria. The visible jackpot is at least partially replenished from the invisible jackpot. The amount in the visible jackpot may be displayed, either on a display common to multiple gaming machines in the network, or on each gaming machine in the network. The visible and invisible jackpots may be accumulated by increasing the amount in each of the visible jackpot and the invisible jackpot by a percentage of each amount bet on the gaming machines in the network. In some embodiments, the invisible jackpot accumulates faster than the visible jackpot.
