1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by one or more computer processors, at least one request with a wager from a player to play a first game associated with a first prize pool;
facilitating, by the one or more computer processors, play of the first game on at least one networked terminal based at least in part on receiving the at least one request from the player to play the first game;
directing a portion of said wager to a second prize pool;
initiating, by the one or more computer processors, play of a second game associated with the second prize pool on the at least one networked terminal, wherein the second game is initiated in response to the second prize pool reaching a predetermined amount; and
beginning a timer at a particular point in time to countdown, said second game played concurrently with play of the first game and play of the second game terminates either when (i) the timer decrements to zero or (ii) the second prize pool decrements to zero based on a plurality of prizes that are awarded during play of the second game.
