Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for operating a master jackpot linked to a wagering game having different jackpot triggers with different probabilities. The main jackpot win probability may be normalized so that players have approximately the same odds of winning the main jackpot regardless of the wagering game being played. During game play, gaming stations may be randomly selected to participate in the pursuit of an opportunity to win the main jackpot according to eligibility probabilities that are inversely proportional to the probability of jackpot triggers for wagering games administered by the gaming stations. The player may be informed whether the current round of the gaming entertainment is eligible for the main jackpot after the wager is placed and before the current round of the gaming entertainment.

The bet is usually an optional side wager bet that is fixed in amount and formed on an electronic coin spot (spot) sensor. Accordingly, the amount of prizes won through the jackpot may increa...
