Abstract
A gaming system and method operating a virtual world gaming tournament is described. The gaming system includes gaming clients, a virtual world, a tournament session, a live host and a tournament prize. The virtual world has a variety of different locations and each gaming client is located at a particular location in the virtual world. The tournament session includes predetermined game sessions for each gaming client, in which each game session associates a random game outcome with a symbolic representation that is displayed at the location in the virtual world. The live host identifies locations in the virtual world and provides updates on the points awarded to the gaming clients at the virtual world location. The live host selectively broadcasts a first virtual world or a second virtual world during the tournament session. Additionally, the live host broadcast is displayed on a networked display or on the gaming clients.
