Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for a multi-site casino or resort wide promotional winners selection. The system selects a winner based on playing with a card at a table game or slot machine, or just being at an active slot machine, opened table game, or other activity within a resort.

Abstract: One or more gaming machines include an external attendant paid bonus win meter. More particularly, when the casino gaming system generates a jackpot, and awards the jackpot to a player at a gaming machine, the amount of the winning jackpot is recorded on the external attendant paid bonus win meter. Otherwise stated, the system-based jackpot is awarded to a player at a gaming machine, and the amount of the winning jackpot is recorded on a gaming machine-based meter. The player may be randomly determined. Additionally, the trigger for awarding the jackpot may be randomly determined based on predetermined criteria set by the casino or gaming system manufacturer. Once the jackpot win occurs, the player at the selected gaming machine is notified, usually by a visible sign or message. In one embodiment, the amount of the jackpot win (or bonus win) is recorded on the external attendant paid bonus win meter.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for running an automated campaign for progressive games. The system automatically awards a maximum amount of progressive prizes set by the casino during a progressive prize time to multiple progressive winners.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of allowing a player to participate in an uninterrupted session of gaming while ensuring compliance with a regulation promulgated by a taxing authority, the regulations requiring that jackpots over a threshold amount won during gaming be reported. Player-related information adequate to comply with the regulation is stored prior to playing an uninterrupted session. When a reportable jackpot is won, jackpot-related information is stored such that it can be associated with the proper player-related information. The storage of jackpot-related information can be performed without any significant interruption in play. Thus, the invention avoids an extended “lock-up” period common in a conventional gaming system for recording of jackpot information whenever a significant jackpot is won.
