摘要： An electronic amusement device and a method for operating the device are disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments, a slot machine or video poker machine identifies a tracked symbol and initializes a running count representing active occurrences of the tracked symbol generated during a play session. In one embodiment, in the context of a video poker game, the number of occurrences of a discarding of a qualifying card are counted. An occurrence of a tracked symbol (e.g., discarded qualifying card) may be associated with an expiration condition. In one embodiment, a bonus is provided if a predetermined number of occurrences of the tracked symbol are collected within a predefined period of time (e.g., if twelve aces are discarded and collected within six consecutive games).

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： In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated and used to create a video presentation of representative outcomes for one or more players. The video presentation is recorded onto a tangible medium (e.g., DVD or CD-ROM) or otherwise provided to one or more players (e.g., a player may access the video presentation online). This allows one or more players to purchase a video presentation of (e.g., predetermined) outcomes in a jurisdiction in which gambling is legal yet view the presentation at the player's convenience (e.g., from any jurisdiction and at any time). At least one player who is associated with such a video presentation may subsequently redeem it for a redemption value associated therewith.
