Abstract
An entertainment system (1) comprises a gaming server (2), a player station (3) operable by a player to display a simulation of a multi-stage accumulator game having a boxing theme, and a communication network (4) providing communication between the gaming server (2) and the player station (3). The gaming server (2) operates under stored program control to regulate the progress of the game and to determine an outcome thereof. The player places a wager on the outcome of the game, which is either a successful outcome in which the player wins a prize, and an unsuccessful outcome in which the player forfeits the wager. The prize may either be collected by the player or carried over as a wager for a succeeding stage of the multi-stage accumulator game.
