Abstract
A method and device for gaming, in which an initial game is played toward an ultimate winning outcome, but with several intermediate winning outcomes possible before achieving the ultimate winning outcome. Several of these games may be played concurrently on the same device in pursuit of the ultimate winning outcome. Achieving the ultimate winning outcome may result in an award or in a subsequent gaming event. Play of a single gaming session need not take place in one sitting; the state of the current session may be saved, dispensed to the player in a physical form, and resumed at a later time.
