A system, method and apparatus by which a souvenir that memorializes that which a player was able to accomplish from using a gaming machine can be easily and effectively produced.

More specific preferred embodiments permit the system operator to pre-select the event for which a player can receive a souvenir, the substance of the record from which the souvenir may be generated, and/or whether and to the extent to which the player may add to the record to produce the souvenir.
