摘要： Method and system are disclosed for operating a wagering game terminal where players are allowed to transfer game assets that they may have accumulated to other players. The game assets may be transferred as part of an on-line auction won by one of the other players, as a gift to a preselected player, or as part of a trade with a preselected player. Neither the transferring player nor the receiving player is required to be present at a wagering game terminal at the time of the transfer. The transfer may be an anonymous transfer or it may be an identity-based transfer. For identity-based transfers, a predefined list of selected players may be used to facilitate the transfers.

摘要： Wagering game terminal and method of operating same are disclosed where the player characters or avatars learn from the experiences of previous games. Thus, the player characters or avatars in effect remember the paths they have taken and/or the choices they have selected previously. This learning or remembrance may occur across multiple games and may be manifested by visual and/or audio reminders, including removal of the previously taken paths/choices. Other indicators such as audio or text messages may also be used. The player characters or avatars may also refuse or be reluctant to repeat a particular path/choice. In this way, the player may retain the benefits of his earlier efforts, thereby increasing player excitement and enjoyment.
