摘要： A method and system is provided wherein events experienced by a player is documented and the documentation of an event is stored in association with an indication of the event. One example of an event experienced by a player is an outcome obtained by a player on a gaming device. In such an embodiment the documentation of the event may comprise an image of the player's reaction to the outcome and the indication of the outcome may be a representation of the symbols comprising the outcome. In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention a player may purchase an output of the documentation and corresponding indication of one or more events experienced by the player (e.g., in the form of a digital or tangible scrapbook).

摘要： A gaming device such as a video based gaming device provides a player the ability to modify at least one element of the gaming device. The gaming device may then modify other elements to ensure a desired house advantage. The probability of occurrence for one or more outcomes, the payout corresponding to one or more outcomes, and the wager amount required to play a game, may be modified by a player. The gaming device may then automatically determine changes in the values of other elements in order to maintain a constant house advantage. The player may also impose constraints on the value of one or more elements so that the gaming device cannot change the constrained elements in maintaining the house advantage. Software running on the gaming device may use an equation that takes into account pertinent elements such as the size of the jackpot, the size of the wager needed to play each game, and probability of hitting the jackpot during a game. Based on the equation, the software may adjust elements other than the element(s) specified by the player so that, for example, the house advantage remains constant with each game. A player interface provides an easy to use method of modifying selected elements.
摘要翻译：诸如基于视频的游戏设备的游戏设备为玩家提供了修改游戏设备的至少一个元件的能力。游戏设备然后可以修改其他元件以确保期望的房屋优势。一个或多个结果发生的概率，对应于一个或多个结果的支付以及玩游戏所需的投注金额可以由玩家修改。游戏设备然后可以自动地确定其他元素的值的变化，以便维持恒定的房屋优势。播放器还可以对一个或多个元素的值施加约束，使得游戏设备在维持房屋优势时不能改变约束元素。在游戏设备上运行的软件可以使用考虑相关元素的等式，例如累积奖金的大小，玩游戏所需的赌注的大小以及在游戏中击中累积奖金的概率。基于该方程式，软件可以调整除了玩家指定的元素之外的元素，使得例如每个游戏的房屋优势保持不变。播放器界面提供了一种易于使用的修改所选元素的方法。

摘要： A method and system is provided wherein an event experienced by a player is documented and the documentation of the event is stored (e.g., in association with an indication of the event). One example of an event experienced by a player is an outcome obtained by a player on a gaming device. In such an embodiment the documentation of the event may comprise an image of the player's reaction to the outcome and/or a still or video image of the outcome. In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention a player may subsequently access (e.g., purchase) an output of the documentation. In one embodiment an outcome of a prior game play that was documented is replayed. When the outcome of the prior game play is output, the outcome may be output in a manner that indicates to a viewer that the outcome is an outcome of a prior game play and not an outcome of a current game play.

摘要： The invention includes a system and method for presenting forward commitment agreements to consumers proximate to a benefit dispensing device such as a vending machine or an automatic teller machine. A controller is in communication with one or more benefit dispensing devices and one or more merchant devices. Merchants devise forward commitment agreements to be offered to consumers. Such agreements specify a benefit that will be provided to a consumer immediately if the consumer agrees to fulfill a commitment in the future. Using a merchant device, a merchant communicates descriptions of the forward commitment agreements to the controller. When a consumer subsequently accesses a benefit dispensing device, the controller, via the benefit dispensing device, offers a forward commitment agreement to the consumer. If the consumer chooses to enter into the forward commitment agreement, then the benefit dispensing device provides the consumer with an immediate benefit. In some embodiments, the merchant subsequently reimburses the controller for the benefit provided to the consumer.

摘要： The present invention is directed generally to a method and apparatus for operating a gaming device having a flat rate play session costing a flat rate price. The flat rate play session spans multiple plays on the gaming device over a pre-established duration. The gaming device identifies price parameters and determines the flat rate price of playing the gaming device based on those price parameters. In one embodiment, identifying price parameters includes receiving player selected price parameters. In another embodiment, price parameters further incorporate operator selected price parameters. Should the player decide to pay the flat rate price, the player simply deposits the necessary funds into the gaming device or makes a credit account available for the gaming device to debit. Once the player initiates play, the gaming device tracks the duration remaining in the flat rate play session and stops the play when the given period has elapsed. During the play, payouts are made either directly to the player in the form of coins or indirectly in the form of credits to the player's credit account. In accordance with one embodiment, a player may enter into a contract, wherein the contract specifies the flat rate play session as described above.
摘要翻译：本发明总体上涉及一种用于操作游戏设备的方法和装置，该游戏设备具有以固定费率价格计算的统一费率游戏会话。统一费率播放会话在预先建立的持续时间内跨越游戏设备上的多个播放。游戏设备识别价格参数，并根据这些价格参数确定玩游戏设备的统一费率。在一个实施例中，识别价格参数包括接收玩家选择的价格参数。在另一个实施例中，价格参数还包括操作者选择的价格参数。如果玩家决定支付统一费率，玩家只需将必要的资金存入游戏设备，或者为游戏设备提供可用于借记的信用账户。一旦播放器开始播放，游戏设备跟踪平面播放会话中剩余的持续时间，并且在给定的时间段过去时停止播放。在游戏过程中，以硬币的形式直接向玩家发出支票，或间接以玩家信用账户的信用形式进行支付。根据一个实施例，玩家可以签订合同，其中合同规定如上所述的统一费率游戏会话。
