Abstract

A system and method for enabling a new generation of captivating multiplayer casino slot machine games with naught or little changes to the applicable regulatory game standards. In one embodiment thereof, the present invention is a 2-player/1-game casino slot machine wherein (a) a two-seater slot machine allows two players to share in primary game play by providing two seats, two sets of betting controls, and two sets of onscreen meters to track each player's performance, wins and losses, and wherein (b) back end control logic within each two-seater slot machine consolidates all game performance meters in such a way that the slot machine mimics a traditional single seat slot machine (i.e. 1-player/ 1-game) from accounting and regulatory points of view, thus requiring no changes to the accounting procedures and to the central casino management system. This 2-player/1-game paradigm may be extended to N-player/1-game wherein (a) N single seat slot machines each having individual player performance meters are joined together via secure peer-to-peer network and wherein (b) appropriate peer-to-peer software balances back-end account meters such as each slot machine appears as independent 1-player/1-game from an accounting, central game management and regulatory point of view.
