NETWORKED GAMING APPARATUS WITH COMPETITIVE FEATURE GAME

A winner of a feature game becomes a champion, and plays in the ne xt feature game that is triggered. Responsibility for running the feature game may rest with the player terminals (2) and/or with a central controller (3) as is appropriate to the implementation. A single player competitive feature ga me is also described.
