1. A method comprising: receiving, into a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, a plurality of data items for display on a display device of a wagering game machine, the data items associated with previous win amounts awarded to players of wagering games on client devices other than a client device of a current player of a wagering game, wherein the client devices are communicably coupled via a network to a server that stores the data items; associating, by one or more processors, a first previous win amount of the previous win amounts to a first subset of one or more game symbols for the wagering game; displaying the first previous win amount in proximity to the one or more game symbols on the display device; determining, by the one or more processors, a first probability of winning the first previous win amount; associating, by the one or more processors, a second previous win amount of the previous win amounts to a second subset of the one or more game symbols for the wagering game; determining, by the one or more processors, a second probability of winning the second previous win amount, wherein the first probability and the second probability are determined independently of one another; and in response to determining, by at least one of the one or more processors based on an output of a random element generator, that at least one previous win amount of the previous win amounts is to be awarded during the wagering game, crediting the previous win amount and indicating on the display device the at least one previous win amount that is to be awarded.
