Abstract
A bonusing system for gaming devices provides a first bonus award eligible to be won via participating gaming devices. The bonusing system is configured to: establish the first bonus award as available to participating gaming devices based on a bonus award configuration; register a plurality of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and a plurality of table gaming devices to participate in the first bonus award; receive, from a first electronic gaming machine (EGM), a first wager event message indicating a first wager being performed by a first player at the first EGM; receive, from a first table gaming device, a second wager event message indicating a second wager being performed by a second player at the first table gaming device; determine that one of the first and second wager events results in an award of the bonus award based on output of a random number generator (RNG), the award of the bonus award identifying one or more of a winning player and a winning gaming device; and award the bonus award to the winning player at the winning gaming device based on the determination.
