Various aspects described for implementing hybrid arcade/wager-based gaming techniques via computer networks, including one or more casino gaming networks. The hybrid arcade/wager-based game may include a non-wager based gaming portion and a wager-based gaming portion. One or more players are able to concurrently engage in continuous game play of the non-wager based gaming portion during execution of wager-based gaming events which are automatically triggered based on events which occur during play of the non-wager based gaming portion. Other aspects are directed to wager-based gaming techniques for remotely retrieving, before the occurrence of wager-based triggering events, one or more batches of predetermined RNG outcomes from an RNG engine, and for using at least one of the retrieved, predetermined RNG outcomes to determine future wager-based game event outcomes.
