Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for networked bingo are described. A machine can generate enhanced bingo tickets including symbols that can be called for a networked bingo match and extra symbols, such as a globally-designated scatter symbol that is applicable to all bingo tickets competing in the bingo match. The extra symbols can also include locally-designated extra symbols, such as a bonus trigger symbol, a bonus-counter symbol, and a multiplier symbol, that are applicable to individual bingo tickets. A first machine can provide a second machine with one or more enhanced bingo tickets over a communication network. The first and second machines can store the bingo ticket(s) as a data structure in memory. The first machine can send a symbol sequence indicating the symbols called for the bingo match. The symbol sequence can include indicators of the extra symbols being called or symbols associated with the extra symbols being called. The extra symbols can be displayed in a grid position of the bingo ticket. Players may win extra prizes in addition to those associated with conventional bingo.
