A central determination gaming system comprising:

• a game outcome set including a plurality of predetermined game outcomes, wherein each game outcome is a lose outcome with no associated outcome presentation, a win outcome associated with a game outcome presentation or a secondary game triggering outcome associated with a game outcome presentation;
• a central controller operable to select at least one of said game outcomes from the game outcome set, to flag said selected game outcome and to output the selected game outcome and the associated game outcome presentation, if any;
• and
• at least one gaming terminal including a display device and a processor operable with said central controller and said display device to enable a player to initiate a wagering game, to receive said selected game outcome and the game outcome presentation, if any, from said central controller, to determine a game outcome presentation for the selected game outcome based on a game presentation seed if the selected game outcome is a lose outcome, to display the determined game outcome presentation, to display the associated game outcome presentation for said wagering game if the selected game outcome is a win outcome or a secondary game triggering outcome and to provide the selected game outcome to the player for said wagering game.

• and
• a central controller operable to select at least one of said game outcomes from the game outcome set, to prevent said selected game outcome from further selection in said game outcome set and to output the selected game outcome and the associated game outcome presentation, if any, to at least one gaming terminal, wherein said gaming terminal includes a display device and a processor operable with said display device to enable a player to initiate a wagering game, to receive said selected game outcome and the game outcome presentation, if any, from said central controller, to determine a game outcome presentation for the selected game outcome based on a game presentation seed if the selected game outcome is a lose outcome, to display the determined game outcome presentation for said wagering game, to display the associated game outcome presentation for said wagering game if the selected game outcome is a win outcome or a secondary game triggering outcome and to provide the selected game outcome to the player for said wagering game.
