Gaming system, gaming device and method for moderating remote host initiated features for multiple concurrently played games

Many implementations of the invention involve discounted wager gaming. Some such implementations involve discounted tickets, which may or may not be 'guaranteed play' tickets valid for at least a predetermined number of plays of a wagering game. Some implementations associate a code, sometimes referred to as a Group ID code or the like, with one or more types of contracts for guaranteed play tickets. Other implementations of the invention involve determining a discounted ticket cost C and wagering game value V and determining a coin in amount for a wagering game according to a function of C and V. Still other implementations of the invention provide solutions to accounting challenges relating to discounted tickets.

Discounted wagering game devices and methods

The present invention provides methods and devices for providing wagering games. A player pays an initial price to play a wagering game according to normal game rules. Game information that would normally be concealed from the player is offered for an additional price. In some implementations, the wagering game is a poker game and the game information is draw card information. The additional price may increase according to the amount of game information provided. In some implementations, a paytable percentage for the wagering game decreases according to the amount of game information provided.

'Buy a peek' gaming methods and devices

The present invention provides methods and devices for providing wagering games having aspects of card games, such as poker games. Some implementations of the present invention involve methods and devices for providing such wagering games on a network of gaming machines. In some implementations, players can view a first M playing cards from each of N hands of playing cards, then must select one (or more) of the hands. Thereafter, a playing card hand (e.g., a poker hand) is made up for the selected hand from the N cards and from additional cards that are revealed after the hand is selected. Some implementations provide a bingo game in which areas of each bingo card correspond with playing cards, wherein players may establish interim wins that correspond to poker hands. Some such implementations include displaying N bingo cards, each of which corresponds to one of the N hands of playing cards.

Gaming system, gaming device and method for reporting for multiple concurrently played games

The present invention provides methods and devices for providing a bingo game having aspects of a poker game on a network of gaming machines. Some implementations include a bingo card display in which areas of a bingo card correspond with playing cards. Some such implementations provide first phase of a bingo game that is concluded when a player daubs a game-ending pattern of a bingo card and a second phase wherein players may establish interim wins by daubing other patterns that correspond to poker hands. In some implementations, only the highest-ranking interim win results in a payout. Preferred implementations provide games with easily recognizable bingo play and payout probabilities similar to existing bingo games.
