Abstract
A gaming device operable to accept wagers in a plurality of bet denominations accepts a first wager associated with a first bet denomination and a second wager associated with a second, different bet denomination. The first wager is then logically associated with a first progressive jackpot, and the second wager is logically associated with a second progressive jackpot different than the first progressive jackpot.
