Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to gaming systems, gaming devices, and methods for presenting tournament games. The gaming system includes a tournament server in communication with a plurality of gaming devices as well as a plurality of tournament displays positioned throughout a gaming establishment. In one embodiment, the gaming devices are configured to enable concurrent play of a base game and an on-demand tournament game in which the on-demand tournament game is player initiated. Alternatively, the base game presented on the gaming devices are reconfigured from a normal mode to a tournament mode. The tournament server manages play of the tournament game, and the tournament server also sends tournament information to the tournament displays near the location of active and eligible players of the tournament game.

Abstract: A progressive game is implemented on a gaming system, wherein the gaming system includes one or more gaming machines connected to a game server, and wherein the progressive game has a progressive prize value that increases according to a progressive prize growth rate. The progressive game includes a selectable targeted progressive prize value, a selectable targeted progressive prize time, and one or more enticement factors. The progressive prize growth rate is calculated using the selectable targeted progressive prize value, the selectable targeted progressive prize time, and the one or more enticement factors. Additionally, a random number generation algorithm tests to determine if there is a progressive prize win at each predetermined time period. The selectable targeted progressive prize time is used to calculate the predetermined time period for testing for a progressive prize win.

Abstract: A method provides a player tracking system and system gaming apparatus for playing non-base games by funding the credit side of a gaming cycle. The system further includes at least one gaming device having a base game. The player tracking system and system gaming apparatus includes a player tracking user interface. The player tracking user interface provides a player with an opportunity to select and play a non-base game that may be promotional-funded or player-funded.

Additionally, a random number generation algorithm tests to determine if there is a progressive prize win at each predetermined time period. The selectable targeted progressive prize time is used to calculate the predetermined time period for testing for a progressive prize win. If a progressive prize win has not been identified, the progressive prize value is incremented by the progressive prize growth rate. If a progressive prize win has been identified, a random number generation algorithm determines one or more winners of the progressive prize.
