Abstract: Some embodiments relate to online gaming. For example, a side-game application corresponding to an online indicia-based game may receive player-indicia information representing player indicia already dealt to a player, prior to the dealing of at least one un-dealt indicia; based at least on the player-indicia information, to automatically determine one or more player-specific side-game scenarios, each defining a criterion relating to one or more of the un-dealt indicia; to automatically offer to the player a side-game including the one or more scenarios; to receive at least one wager from the player corresponding to at least one respective wagered scenario; and, upon a dealing of the un-dealt indicia of the wagered scenario, to automatically reward the player if the criterion corresponding to the wagered scenario is met.
