Abstract
The innovations herein concern flexible and omnichannel unified jackpot awarding systems. In particular, a hosted gaming service may provide a unified jackpot awarding system that is compatible and combinable with a variety of different gaming ecosystems, such as land-based gaming environments and online or 'iGaming' environments. Specifically, the unified jackpot system may include a gaming device identifier (GID), a contributor identifier (CID), and/or a contributor type property to aid in the identifying and tracking of jackpots awarded, e.g., to multiple players playing on multiple devices and in multiple games across land-based and/or online gaming environments. Each player and device may be linked with their own gameplay session (e.g., via the use of QR codes, digital wallets, biometric information, or the like). With this linkage established, the unified jackpot system can track, monitor, and award jackpots to players using different types of gaming devices across different gaming ecosystems and/or different games.
