Abstract
A jackpot gaming event is initiated with a jackpot having a value. After the gaming event has been initiated, a plurality of players is permitted to play a plurality of base games up to a predetermined maximum number of base games. Once the jackpot gaming event has reached a predetermined level of play, base game play is terminated. An aggregate game score is determined for each of the plurality of players based upon the base games they each played. A determination is then made as to whether one or more of the players have qualified to win the jackpot and, if so, those one or more players are awarded all or a portion of the jackpot.
