METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING ACCESSORY DEVICES USABLE TO FACILITATE REMOTELY VIEWABLE WAGERING GAME OUTCOMES

摘要

In accordance with some embodiments, a plurality of outcomes are generated and used to create a video presentation of representative outcomes. The video presentation is recorded onto a tangible medium (e.g., DVD or CD-ROM) or otherwise provided to a player (e.g., player may access the video presentation online). This allows a player 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). The outcomes on the DVD or CD ROM may be viewed on a video display generated by a primary output device (e.g., a personal computer or a DVD player). In addition, the player may purchase or otherwise obtain an accessory device that interacts (e.g., augments the outcomes) with the game play recorded on the tangible medium.

主权项

1. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
(a) at a first point in time:
(i) enabling a player at a gaming device including a first accessory device to place a wager associated with a first play of a game, said first accessory device configured to display a plurality of different game indicia, and(ii) if the player places the wager associated with the first play of the game:
(A) randomly generating an outcome for the first play of the game,(B) causing a gaming device display device to display the randomly generated outcome,(C) determining if the randomly generated outcome is associated with the first accessory device, and(D) if the randomly generated outcome is associated with the first accessory device:
(I) causing the first accessory device to indicate one of the plurality of game indicia, and(II) providing the indicated game indicia to the player; (b) at a second, subsequent point in time, providing to the player a gaming medium associated with a plurality of randomly generated outcomes; and (c) at a third point in time subsequent to the first and second points in time:
(i) causing a primary output device located remote from the gaming device to display the plurality of randomly generated outcomes associated with the gaming medium, said primary outcome device coupled to a second accessory device configured to display the plurality of different game indicia, said second accessory device located remote from the gaming device, and(ii) for at least one displayed outcome associated with the gaming medium, causing the second accessory device to indicate at least one game indicia associated with the displayed outcome.
