Abstract
A portable game machine is associated with a stationary wagering game machine. With resources of both the portable game machine and the stationary wagering game machine, the portable game machine and the stationary wagering game machine provide a wagering game experience. The portable game machine detects occurrence of a game event at the associated stationary wagering game machine, and, in response, determines a cumulative or bonus game event triggered by the detected game event. The portable game machine then invokes the triggered game event at the portable game machine.
