Abstract

See full text

A system provides an instant-close tournament such that an actual player is always the last player to enter the tournament. The instant-close tournament has a number of player spots. The system includes a plurality of gaming machines, a communication link connecting the plurality of gaming machines, and a tournament history table that stores previous tournament information for a plurality of previous players in the tournament. At least a first gaming machine enables play of a first base game that has a first theoretical payout percentage, and at least a second gaming machine enables play of a second base game that has a second theoretical payout percentage. The previous tournament information is used by the tournament controller to configure one or more simulated players in the tournament to fill each player spot in the tournament, except for at least a final player spot that is filled by the actual player.
