A disclosed gaming machine has a memory storing a list of one or more
prizes, a prize display for viewing prize information, and a prize
selection mechanism that allows a user playing a game on the gaming
machine to select one or more prizes specific to one or more outcomes of
the game played on the gaming machine. One or more gaming machines may be
connected in a "prize distribution network" to a "prize server." The
prize server may include an interface for providing prize information to
the gaming machines connected in the prize distribution network and a
memory storing the prize information as groups of prizes for separate
display on the gaming machines. With the prize server and prize
distribution network, the prizes available as an award on each gaming
machine in the prize distribution network may be easily changed.
