Abstract
A tournament server intermittently initiates a tournament for any number of gaming machines connected to a network. An operator sets the parameters of the tournament, such as the scheduling, the criteria for winning, and the awards. The tournament server controls a display, such as an overhead display or a display on each gaming machine. The tournament server receives pay-in/pay-out data or any other relevant data from the gaming machines and determines the rankings of the players. At the end of the tournament, the winning player is awarded a prize. The tournament server and tournament technique can be implemented without reconfiguring the gaming machines, and a variety of types of gaming machines by different manufacturers may participate in the same tournament.
