Abstract
The present invention is a method for controlling the funding and awarding of jackpot awards in a game in which wagers of varying size and/or denomination may be placed for conduct of the game and, during play of the game, a progressive payout trigger may occur. The method includes establishing a plurality of virtual progressive pools, each of which is correlated to a wager level. Upon receipt of a wager, a contribution, optionally an allocation of a wager, is made to virtual progressive pools for the wager level of the wager and at least one lesser wager level, if any. Upon a progressive payout trigger, a progressive award is issued that represents the sum of the virtual pools to which a contribution was made. Optionally the virtual pools included in the progressive award are reset to a base value.
