Electronic amusement device offering secondary game of chance and method for operating same

A slot machine server, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory connected to said processor storing a program to control the operation of said processor;
• said processor operative with said program in said memory to:
• receive historic data associated with a plurality of slot machines, each slot machine having a corresponding client identifier,
• rank the slot machines based on the historic data,
• identify a subset of the ranked slot machines, the subset comprising at least two distinct slot machines;
• and
• associating the subset of slot machines with a single player and at least one completion parameter, such that the player is provided with an award if the player satisfies the at least one completion parameter by playing each of the slot machines of the subset of slot machines.

A computer-readable storage medium encoded with processing instructions for implementing a method for determining eligible client identifiers associated with a secondary game of chance, said processing instructions for directing a computer to perform the steps of:

• receiving historic data associated with a plurality of slot machines, each slot machine having a corresponding client identifier;
• ranking the slot machines based on the historic data;
• identifying a subset of the ranked slot machines, the subset comprising at least two distinct slot machines;
• and
• associating the subset of slot machines with a single player and at least one completion parameter, such that the player is provided with an award if the player satisfies the at least one completion parameter by playing each of the slot machines of the subset of slot machines.
