    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。
