Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage to implement an augmented game system. A player can play an online game and accumulate loyalty points without have to pay cash. The player can enter a physical casino and play an electronic gaming machine which can retrieve the player's information from the online game including the number of loyalty points the player has and any other incentives or game add-ons the player would be entitled to. The player would then play a physical game on the electronic game normally (by depositing cash and playing) but the game play would be augmented by virtue of the player having the loyalty points or other incentives or add-ons. For example, the game can be augmented by giving the player a better paytable.
