Techniques for playing a game of chance providing networking opportunities for large groups of players are described herein. During the game, to qualify for a prize, a player should have one or more partners chosen from the players playing the game. A winner of the prize shares a prize with his/her respective prize partner who would have been selected from at least one partner already chosen by the winner or, based on player's information, by a game computer. The game may be played by groups of on-site players or remote (e.g., online) players, in live and virtual gaming environments or a combination thereof.
