Abstract: A system and method of use wherein players are allowed to vote on a game number from multiple game numbers wherein the game number receiving the most votes is selected as a next game number. Games involving multiple player, including bingo and lottery-style games, may benefit from the disclosed system and method. Given a large set of players and over the course of the game, the voting scheme does not impact the random nature of the game outcome. Advantageously, and despite the continued randomness of game outcomes, players tend to believe that the voting scheme impacts the game outcome by skewing the game outcome in the player's favor. Accordingly, the interactive nature of the game is attractive to players especially new and young players having grown up with interactive video games and also provides more experienced players with a new spin on old games.

Abstract: A system and method wherein players play skill-based games over player terminals linked to a central system forming a game network. If the player accomplishes the skill-based task within an allotted time period, the player wins a game award and bonus prize. If the player fails to accomplish the skill-based task within the allotted time period, the player does not win the pre-determined game prize and the bonus prize is placed into a bonus prize pool which is available to be won by any player on the network who subsequently accomplishes a skill-based task in an allotted time period. The bonus prize pool increases as players over the network fail to accomplish the skill-based tasks within the allotted time period. The system and method allows games of chance based on finite pools to maintain proper winning percentages. Random number generator skill-based games may also benefit from the system and method.
