Abstract
The method of the present invention allows a player who bets the proper wager amount and initiates game play on one or more new or existing electronic or computer-controlled gaming devices, to become eligible to win one or more randomly selected monetary percentages as a function of a random number from 0 to 100% of an entire fixed or progressed prize pool with or without regard to game outcome. If the gaming device is networked to a progressive gaming system, a percentage of each gaming wager from at least one gaming device and/or a percentage of non-gaming revenues e.g., rooms, food, beverage, etc., may be contributed to the total progressive pool amount.
