Abstract: A game, system, apparatus, and method are disclosed with an updatable prize result structure. The result structure having several first level result identifiers and an additional second level result. First level results are each associated with an expected number of plays per game. As with each first result level, the additional second result levels are each associated with a respective number of results per given number of plays. In contrast to first level results, the second level results correlate to a player or operator assigned value which may be modified during game play to change results provided in subsequent games.

Abstract: A gaming result system is provided with program products, methods, and apparatus to implement an updatable prize result structure. The result structure having several first level result identifiers and an additional second level result. First level results are each associated with an expected number of plays per game. As with each first result level, the additional second result levels are each associated with a respective number of results per given number of plays.

Abstract: A result level structure includes a number of first result levels and a second result level. Each first result level correlates a respective result level identifier and a respective result value. Each first result level is also associated with a respective expected number of results per given number of plays in a game. At least one of the first result levels includes a nonzero result value and at least one of the first result levels includes a zero result value. As with each first result level, the second result level is associated with a respective expected number of results per given number of plays in the game. In contrast to the first result levels, however, the second result level correlates a respective result level identifier and a respective user definable result value field which may hold any suitable result value designated by a game operator. Thus, the second result level represents a user alterable result level.

Abstract: In a method, apparatus and program product for adding a “predetermined-prize bonus” round to a game, such a bonus round includes activity that leads to the revealing of a hidden result for the game. Where the underlying game comprises a bingo game, the game play result includes a bingo card pattern and payout amount for an otherwise ordinary result of the game. A player makes a selection in the predetermined-prize bonus round, but the selection has no affect on the amount awarded for the game, since the amount is determined prior to the player's selection.
