Abstract

A central determination gaming system including a plurality of gaming terminals (10a, 10b, 10c) in communication with a central controller (14). In one embodiment, upon initiation of a game at one of the gaming terminals (10a, 10b, 10c), the gaming terminal randomly generates a proposed game outcome. The proposed game outcome is communicated to the central controller (14). The central controller (14) determines if a pool of predetermined game outcomes includes the proposed game outcome. If the pool includes the proposed game outcome, the central controller (14) authorizes the proposed game outcome to be provided to the player, flags the authorized game outcome from further authorizations and communicates the authorized game outcome to the gaming terminal. The gaming terminal then provides the authorized game outcome to the player. If the pool does not include the proposed game outcome, the central controller (14) discards the proposed game outcome and instructs the gaming terminal to generate another proposed game outcome for authorization.
