Abstract
A linked gaming system and method combines electronic gaming machines ('EGMs') of different types, each of which is eligible to win a linked jackpot award. One or more first groupings of EGMs each utilize a random number generator to determine game outcome, while one or more second groupings of hybrid EGMs draw outcomes from a finite pool of outcomes determined by a central finite pool system and utilize a jackpot selector to determine jackpot awards. The EGMs from all groupings are configured to have an equal chance of winning the linked jackpot award on the linked gaming system and method.
