Abstract
A gaming system comprises a display controlled by the gaming system to display a prior jackpot value of a jackpot corresponding to a value of the jackpot when a previous jackpot trigger event occurred. The gaming system is arranged to receive wagers on one or more games playable in the gaming system, increment a current value of the jackpot pool in memory of the gaming system based on the wagers, determine a jackpot event value of the jackpot responsive to a jackpot event occurring, the jackpot event value being the current value of the jackpot upon the jackpot event occurring and the jackpot event being independent of incrementing the jackpot, upon the player winning the jackpot responsive to the jackpot event, make an award to the player of the jackpot event value, and upon the player not winning the jackpot responsive to the jackpot event, set the jackpot event value as a new prior jackpot value and control the display to display the new prior jackpot value until the next jackpot event.
