Abstract

A system and method establishes an advanced incentive jackpot pool. The system includes first and gaming machines usable by a plurality of users. The first gaming machine has a first theoretical hold value and the second gaming machine has a different second theoretical hold value. The advanced incentive jackpot pool is associated with the first and second gaming machines. A host computer is operatively coupled to the first and second gaming machines for establishing a first incremental value in response to a first user using the first gaming machine and adding the first incremental value to the advanced incentive jackpot pool and for establishing a second incremental value in response to a second user using the second gaming machine and adding the second incremental value to the advanced incentive jackpot pool. Moreover, the method broadens the traditional scope of the progressive jackpot system to incorporate all slot machines and other casino revenue sources to be part of the progressive jackpot.
