Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a bonusing system and method for gaming devices that are connected to one another. In some embodiments, separate counters are maintained for each choice of wager that each player has. For instance, if a player can bet 1, bet 2, and bet 3, then there are three sets of counters. Each counter has an individual trigger that may be randomly assigned. Each time a player bets, the corresponding counter increments, and each of the players at the connected gaming devices can see the counters accumulating. One bet will satisfy the individual trigger and, in some embodiments, the player who made the bet will win a bonus. In other embodiments, any player of a connected device can win. In either event, the players of the connected devices will not immediately know which player will get the bonus. Eventually the winning player is identified and the bonus awarded.
