Abstract
A system and method for conducting a multi-player wagered networked bingo game. The system comprises a game controller operatively connected to at least two client devices. The game controller is preferably programmed to operate the networked bingo game and form patterns on a playing pieces associated with each client device. The game controller is preferably programmed to compare a plurality of intermediate patterns on each playing piece associated with each client device to determine if one of the intermediate patterns from the playing piece on at least two different client devices identically matches. The game controller can also be programmed to award an intermediate prize to each client device with the identically matched intermediate pattern and to conclude the networked bingo game when at least one pattern on the playing piece of at least one client device matches a game ending pattern.
