Abstract: A gaming system particularly configured to present a Class II bingo game such as bingo includes a game host, at least two player hosts, and a sentinel. The sentinel receives a request for a bingo card purchase from a player of a player interface and upon authorizing the player request transmits the request to one of the player hosts. The player host then makes a bingo card purchase with the game host and plays a bingo card provided by the game host in relation to a set of called bingo balls. The outcome of the play of the bingo card is provided to the sentinel and the game outcome is displayed as an alternative entertaining display at the player’s player interface.
