ABSTRACT:
A jackpot wagering system (1) includes a player terminal (3) operable by a player to place a wager on a number of games of chance a random event generator (8) that generates random events upon which outcomes of the games of chance are based, and a determination facility that determines the quantum of a prize that is available to be won by a player upon the occurrence of a favorable outcome of the game of chance. The quantum of the prize is determined as a function of the size of the player's wager and the maximum limit of the wager. The player's wager is subject to a maximum limit and a portion of each wager is accumulated in an accumulation account as a jackpot prize. The contents of the accumulation account are denominated in a base currency that is selected to be a strongest one of the playing currencies.
