Enhanced method of presenting multiple casino video games

A method for use with a gaming system operating in a casino environment, the gaming system including a plurality of player terminals networked to a game optimisation server, the game optimisation server for providing or allowing a player to access multiple games on each player terminal and for storing in memory a record of the games played on each player terminal, the method comprising:

• allowing a first player to access a first terminal and to request a map of the casino environment;
• sending the request to the game optimisation server, receiving the request at the game optimisation server and responsively sending data related to a physical arrangement of the player terminals, and to the games recently played on the player terminals in a local area, to the first terminal;
• receiving the data at the first terminal;
• displaying, to the first player, using the first terminal, a map illustrating the physical arrangement of the player terminals and a game played on each of the player terminals, thereby indicating to the first player what games are being played at other player terminals where the games being played at other player terminals include at least one game for which the first player is permitted to play a separate instance of that at least one game;
• accepting player input from the first player to initiate the separate instance of that at least one game;
• and
• initiating the separate instance of that at least one game using the first terminal.
