Abstract
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.
