Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for a gaming activity involving a plurality of gaming devices and at least one server. Players each earn points when they bet. But, points are deducted from each player over time, to maintain the incentive to place bets quickly. Players who have points are each eligible to play in a group bonus event, if one is triggered. When a group bonus event is triggered, it results in a player winning a prize. The amount of that prize is adjusted up or down, depending on the number of points that particular player has accumulated. Thus, faster betting is rewarded with eligibility to win a larger prize.
