Abstract

Selon cette invention, un joueur peut participer à un tournoi impliquant une ou plusieurs instances d'un jeu en ligne. Dans un exemple spécifique de cette invention, le joueur peut choisir, au niveau d'un point de vente (POS), une option de tournoi qui permet au joueur de participer à un jeu de type tournois impliquant de multiples instances de jeu d'un jeu principal. Dans un exemple, le jeu principal est un jeu de type machine à sous. Ainsi, le joueur peut apprécier le sentiment de participer à un tournoi contre d'autres joueurs dans l'environnement d'un jeu en ligne. Dans un autre exemple, le résultat du jeu principal dépend du résultat d'un jeu secondaire, tel qu'une loterie ou un tirage de casino (par exemple un tirage Kéno). Le jeu secondaire se déroule ensuite et le résultat du tournoi global est déterminé sur la base des résultats des instances du jeu secondaire. Des résultats des instances du jeu secondaire et le résultat du tournoi sont envoyés à un système de jeu en ligne. Le joueur peut ensuite participer à un jeu en ligne afin que les résultats des instances du jeu secondaire et le résultat du tournoi global soient révélés.
