Abstract

A system including provision of predetermined reward points based upon a portion of a player's 'entry fee', wager, play, ticket purchase price, or other such fixed amount for provision to the player separately from credits awarded for game play including a monitor and a button panel, with a card reader, bill-ticket validator and a ticket printer. The monitor displays the game and other information that may include the amount of bet, win, credit, Comps rewarded and Comps balance to show total amounts. The button panel includes display Comps and collect buttons. The card reader is used to transfer credits and reward points. The bill-ticket validator collects money or tickets. The ticket printer prints the credits and reward points. A wager of money, credits, tokens, game score, game value, or equivalents is placed in a first process, and a second process operates a game program in relation to a game activity and game outcome. A third process calculates a reward value as a predetermined portion of the credits wagered, and a fourth process records the reward value issued. A visual display provides the second region on the game machine for presenting the reward value to the user with the user interface. The system may be connected with other systems electronically, which may be connected to a server using a network, etc. Reward points can be withdrawn from the machine and used by the player for rewards, independently or in combination with credits.
