Benefits of technology

[0010] According to one embodiment of the invention, a seal card game system and method are provided that enable cumulative winners. The seal card game system provides at least one cumulative winner because the game system is played with a plurality of deals and each of the plurality of deals contributes a predetermined prize amount to a cumulative prize pool board. Cumulative awards are awarded from the cumulative prize pool board. The game system increases player interest and enthusiasm by providing tickets that may contain multiple cumulative winners.

Problems solved by technology

Some new game systems enjoy success, while others fail to be commercially viable.
Progressive game systems of this type typically retain the interest of individual deal set winners but often at the expense of players not holding deal set winning tickets.
This causes players to lose interest after a particular point in a game or in the game entirely.
