A method for operating a group of gaming machines interconnected by a network to play both primary and secondary games from the machines. Each of the gaming machines has a primary game associated with it. Play is allowed to occur on the gaming machines while a triggering event is detected. In a preferred embodiment, the triggering event is detected by monitoring an operating parameter of the gaming machines over the network, such as total coins played. A predetermined criterion or threshold is set for the operating parameter and, if the operating parameter meets the predetermined criterion, a triggering event signal is sent through the network. Upon the occurrence of the triggering event, a secondary game is initiated from a selected one of the gaming machines whereby the secondary game is common to the group of gaming machines. The secondary game is most preferably a wheel-of fortune-type game and is displayed in common to all of the machines and local spectators on a plasma- based display monitor of the type marketed by Fujitsu under their Plasmatron TM brand. Driving the plasma-based monitor is an animation computer that contains software coded animation programs for displaying the wheel-of fortune and related audio/video events responsive to a stand-alone bonus server (SBS).
