Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the invention are directed to networked gaming devices that can keep particularized records for identified players. A gaming device provides a primary game for all players and a bonus game playable only by players identified to the gaming device. The award in the bonus game is determined based upon a player selection following a trigger event being reached. A server can store records of player's present and past actions on the gaining network and can communicate with the gaming device using messaging. The status of games or awards can be stored from one gaming session to another, which allows a player to resume a previously started game or award at a later time. Some games include rewards that are collected over time that can be redeemed for personalized rewards.
