at least one mobile server configured to support games of chance; and
an authentication server configured to:
assign authentication identifiers to each of the at least one mobile server and at least one backup mobile server;
pre-authenticate the at least one backup mobile server by granting an operating lease to the at least one backup mobile server; and
