ABSTRACT:
A gaming system is configured to present a bonus event at one or more gaming machines. The gaming machines may be configured to present base wagering games. A bonus server may monitor play at the gaming machines and trigger a bonus event. The bonus event server may be configured to dynamically modify the bonus event trigger based upon the number of gaming machines in play to keep the odds of triggering the bonus event relatively constant. The bonus event may comprise a timed bonus event, such as a tournament in which players of active gaming machines have the opportunity to play one or more free games.
