Techniques for providing progressive games in a gaming environment are disclosed. Progressive configuration data can effectively define one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines. The progressive gaming data can, for example, be provided as a set of rules (e.g., rules in an XSLT form). A progressive configurator uses the progressive configuration data and gaming data received from the gaming machines in order to effectively implement one or more progressive games. The gaming data can, for example, include information about a gaming machine (e.g., serial number, network, location), one or more games available on the gaming machine (e.g., type of the game, minimum and maximum bet for a game), and data regarding a specific game instance (e.g., amount wagered, outcome of a game instance). In addition, the amount of contribution to a progressive game, whether there is a win, and/or prize to be rewarded can be determined by the progressive configurator and/or a progressive gaming manager.
A computing system for providing one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games, wherein said computing system comprises one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more processors and the one or more memories operably connected, and wherein the computing system is configured to:
A computing system for providing one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games, wherein said computing system comprises one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more processors and the one or more memories operably connected, and wherein the computing system is configured to:
A gaming server for providing one or more progressive games for one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games in a gaming environment, wherein said gaming server comprises one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more processors and the one or more memories operably connected, and wherein the computing system is configured to:
A computer-implemented method of providing one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games, the gaming environment comprising one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more processors and the one or more memories operably connected, said method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium with computer program code stored thereon, the computer program code for providing one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games, said computer readable medium having stored thereon:
A computing system for providing one or more progressive games for a gaming environment that includes one or more gaming machines operable for playing one or more games, wherein said computing system comprises one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more processors and the one or more memories operably connected, and wherein the computing system is configured to:
