SKILLFULL-INFLUENCED CASINO GAMES AND GAMING MACHINES CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE PROGRSSIVE AND/OR PROMOTIONAL LEADERBOARDS

摘要

A wager-based electronic gaming device (EGD) may be configured to execute a skill-influenced and wager-based game on the EGD. For each of a plurality of players of the skill-influenced and wager-based game, the EGD may accept money from the player and establish an account balance using the received money; enable game play and wagers in the skill-influenced and wager-based game using the account balance. The performance of the player may be scored at an end of the game. A leaderboard on an app on an electronic device of the player may then be updated with an identifier of the player when the scored player's performance is sufficiently good to place the player's performance among a top predetermined n ranked player performances of the skill-influenced and wager-based game. An electronic message may then be periodically generated to at least some of the players on the leaderboard via their respective apps, informing them at least of a current state of the leaderboard. After a period of time, a prize may be awarded to at least some of the players whose identifiers currently appear on the leaderboard in the app.
