摘要： A method for playing a wagering game allowing a player to be eligible for a progressive jackpot having an actual value. The method comprises conducting the wagering game that has a randomly selected outcome selected from a plurality of outcomes, and displaying a displayed value of the progressive jackpot to the player. The method further includes increasing the displayed value by increments of a first denomination, and awarding a player an award value of the progressive jackpot in response to the player achieving the progressive jackpot. The award value is greater than the displayed value and is equally divisible by a second denomination that is larger than the first denomination. Other methods are provided for creating an escrow pool for funding the difference between the displayed and award values, and also for awarding multiple jackpots from a plurality of progressive jackpots.

摘要： A system for adding funds to a handheld gaming machine. The system includes a portable digital wallet that wirelessly communicates with a handheld gaming machine (“handheld”). The digital wallet stores an amount of funds or funds associated with a remotely stored player account, and is used by the player to add credits to a handheld. The credit meter may be stored remotely, though the player perceives that the funds are actually being transferred via the digital wallet. Other funding techniques include a kiosk that accepts cash or credit/debit cards and dispenses tickets or other media that encodes information representing an amount of funds. The player uses this media to add credits to the handheld. The media may be player-dependent such that the player's identity is somehow linked to the media or it may be player-agnostic such that the player's identity is not linked to the funds associated with the media.

摘要： Method and system are disclosed for operating wagering game terminals where each terminal contributes an award to an award pool. A bank controller aggregates the awards, reapportions, and randomly assigns them back to the wagering game terminals. The reapportioned award assigned to a given wagering game terminal may be less than, the same as, or greater than the award contributed by that terminal. At regular or irregular intervals, the bank controller may shuffle the reapportioned awards and reassign them. As a result, the volatility of the wagering game terminals increases significantly while the payout percentage of each wagering game terminal remains the same over time. Alternatively, instead of randomly reassigning the reapportioned awards, the players may be allowed to pick the reapportioned awards. The reapportioning may also occur randomly and the assigning on an as-needed basis.
