ABSTRACT:
A multiplayer gaming system that is usable by a number of participating players to play a multiplayer game, comprises a plurality of player stations, each player station enabling a respective participating player to place a wager on an outcome of the multiplayer game and to play a separate instance of a same single-player game having a plurality of possible results, and an application web server communicable with each one of the plurality of player stations.The application web server is operable to determine an outcome of the multiplayer game as a function of the combined results of the separate instances of the single-player game played at the plurality of player stations. The outcome of the multiplayer game is either a favourable outcome if one or more participating players are determined by the application web server as being a winner of the multiplayer game, or an unfavourable outcome in which none of the participating players is determined as being a winner.A single turn of the multiplayer game includes at least one turn of an instance of the single-player game at each one of the plurality of player stations in use by a participating player. The application web server determines an outcome of a turn of the multiplayer game only after completion of at least one turn of an instance of the single-player game for each participating player, respectively, and awards a prize to the winning player when the outcome of the turn of the multiplayer game is a favourable outcome.
