4. The electronic gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more server processors are further configured to cause said electronic gaming devices played by said player and said opposing players to generate one or more notifications corresponding to the implemented game action.
5. An electronic gaming system comprising:
at least two electronic gaming devices, each electronic gaming device comprising:
at least one electronic display device;
at least one gaming device processor configured to cause said at least one electronic display device to display said at least one game event to a player of said electronic gaming device;
a credit device configured to accept an item associated with a monetary value; and
at least one input device configured to receive input from said player of said electronic gaming device of a selected power-up card selected from one or more power-up cards;
and
a central server communicating with said at least two electronic gaming devices, said central server comprising:
a memory, the memory including a plurality of tournament game structures defining game play between at least a first and second player comprising at least information regarding said power-up cards and at least one power-up card game action associated with each power-up card, wherein one or more of said power-up card game actions comprise preventing said at least one opposing player from obtaining a multiplier value relative to said game event played by said at least one opposing player; and
one or more server processors configured to implement one or more of said plurality of tournament gaming structures relative to said at least two electronic gaming devices, comprising implementing said at least one power-up card game action associated with said selected power-up card against at least one opposing player.
6. The electronic gaming system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one action configured to be implemented against at least one opposing player is implemented by said one or more server processors against at least one opposing player which is selected by said player.
7. The electronic gaming system of claim 5 , wherein said at least one electronic gaming device is configured to display power-up cards awarded to said player from which said player may select.
8. The electronic gaming system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more server processors are further configured to cause said electronic gaming devices played by said player and said opposing players to generate one or more notifications corresponding to the implemented game action.
9. An electronic gaming system comprising:
at least two electronic gaming devices, each electronic gaming device comprising:
at least one electronic display device;
at least one gaming device processor configured to cause said at least one electronic display device to display said at least one game event to a player of said electronic gaming device;
a credit device configured to accept an item associated with a monetary value; and
at least one input device configured to receive input from said player of said electronic gaming device of a selected power-up card selected from one or more power-up cards;
and
a central server communicating with said at least two electronic gaming devices, said central server comprising:
a memory, the memory including a plurality of tournament game structures defining game play between at least a first and second player comprising at least information regarding said power-up cards and at least one power-up card game action associated with each power-up card, wherein one or more of said power-up card game actions comprise a defensive action which shields one or more symbols displayed to said player during said game event from attack by an opposing player; and
one or more server processors configured to implement one or more of said plurality of tournament gaming structures relative to said at least two electronic gaming devices, comprising implementing said at least one power-up card game action associated with said selected power-up card against at least one opposing player.
10. The electronic gaming system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one action configured to be implemented against at least one opposing player is implemented by said one or more server processors against at least one opposing player which is selected by said player.
11. The electronic gaming system of claim 9 , wherein said at least one electronic gaming device is configured to display power-up cards awarded to said player from which said player may select.
12. The electronic gaming system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more server processors are further configured to cause said electronic gaming devices played by said player and said opposing players to generate one or more notifications corresponding to the implemented game action.
