Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage to implement a guaranteed loyalty point system. A player is provided a fixed amount of guaranteed loyalty points which are converted to loyalty points as the play plays wagering games such as slot games. When the amount of guaranteed loyalty points is depleted, then the player continues to player the slot game but no further loyalty points are awarded to the player until the player once again possesses some more guaranteed loyalty points. In this way, the amount of loyalty points a player ultimately receives is not dependent on luck. The loyalty points can be redeemed for tangible goods and/or services (e.g., show tickets, meal at a restaurant, etc.).
