Abstract
Disclosed is a method for operating a centralized promotional bingo tournament. The promotional bingo tournament includes a plurality of bingo game sessions that are facilitated by a mobile gaming sub-system (MGS) that communicates with a plurality of authorized mobile devices for participation in a promotional bingo tournament session based upon an association between each authorized mobile device and a player registration. Each authorized mobile device participates in a bonus game session with a plurality of bonus game events. A bonus prize is awarded to each participating authorized mobile device when anyone of the authorized mobile devices satisfies a bonus game requirement. Players select avatar characteristics. A video presentation sub-system (VPS) is communicatively coupled to the MGS and a stationary monitor. The VPS receives a head-to-head animation generated by the MGS from the player selected avatar characteristics. The VPS then communicates the head-to-head animation to the stationary monitor for display.
