Abstract
A group wagering game is provided in which all entrants win or lose simultaneously as a group. The method of playing the game includes forming a group consisting of all entrants who have made a wager on the outcome of the game, and determining whether the group is a winner. The game can either be played as a stand alone game, or in combination with an individual participation game. When combined with another game, the method includes forming a group of at least some of the entrants in the individual participation game, e.g. all winners, who have made a wager on the outcome of the group participation game. As such, a “bonus” round of play is provided which generates group interest and excitement in the gaming experience.
