second embodiment

[0079]In a second embodiment, player purchases one or more games at a particular location. The location may be a casino. Where the gambling activity occurs using a PC or wireless communications device, the actual gambling location may be anywhere. These games may be games of chance or skill. The rules for the game may be selected by the player (e.g. the player selects to play a certain type of game and purchases one or more). The result for these games may be determined, e.g. in bulk, at the time of purchase (e.g. slot type game) or may be pre-determined (e.g. scratch type lottery ticket). The game results may or may not be witnessed at the time of purchase. It is important to note that gambling law prescribes a game as placing a bet, the outcome being determined, and a prize of value being determined or awarded. The observance of the game by the player is not a legal requirement of game play. Hence, this embodiment provides for the player purchasing (and playing) many games in an i...

third embodiment

[0128]A third embodiment brings gaming operators and customers together, with each party achieving exactly what they want. The customer wants value for his business—this could be in the form of discounted rooms, free entertainment, complimentary dining or promotional play at the casino, i.e. “comps”. These are standard offerings in Las Vegas. However, sometimes the customer may only realize these benefits after his stay, if at all. There are times when customers have reached a property's comp level, never to receive any complimentary offers prior to the end of their visit.

[0129]This embodiment allows customers to receive their comps before they visit and provides the customer with the ability to put their business “out to bid”.[0130]1. The customer provides the operators with their preferences about a planned visit, for example, planned visitation date, the amount of spending money they are bringing with them, and their favorite activities.[0131]2. The information is displayed to th...
