Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, multiple networked gaming devices can participate in a secondary type game. A primary game such as poker, rotatable wheels, wheel of fortune or the like is initiated on a gaming device. A predetermined outcome (for example) of the primary game is then used to qualify the gaming device for a secondary type game. A predetermined outcome might be a wheel of fortune SPIN symbol, for example. Once the gaming device is qualified, a secondary game indication cycle is triggered. During this cycle, additional gaming devices can then qualify for the secondary type game by using one or more predetermined primary game outcomes, for example. The secondary type game is then initiated and a secondary game payout awarded to the gaming devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, techniques for awarding random rewards in a reward program are provided. An event is determined that qualifies the user for a reward in the reward program. A random reward is then generated for the reward program. For example, parameters may be determined that are used to generate the random reward. The random reward is then awarded to the user. In one example, the number of points the user receives may be randomly generated and awarded to the user in the reward program. Thus, user interest may be increased for the reward program, which also may lead to an increase in purchasing of a business's goods and/or services.
