Abstract
A gaming system implements a method of gaming. The gaming system includes one or more gaming devices configured to enable a player to place a wager for play of a wagering game, and each gaming device includes a player tracking/marketing module (PTM). A plurality of avatars are selectable by a player, and after receiving one or more inputs from the player relating to the avatars selected and credit allocation for each selected avatar, one is designated as the active avatar for game play. The system receives, via a credit input mechanism, a credit wager to initiate play of a wagering game, and in response to a user input triggering game play via the gaming device, the PTM records credit wagered for game play against the active avatar. Moreover, in response to a winning outcome occurring in a game outcome for the triggered game play, the PTM records any award for the game outcome against one or more avatars in accordance with allocation criteria.
