Abstract: A casino management networked computer system is described. The networked computer system includes a database server computer and an application server computer coupled to the database server computer and to a plurality of gaming devices. The database server processor is programmed to generate and store a program file including a patron logic matrix that includes data records of patron ranking information included in the spreadsheet. Each data record includes a market definition value, a patron ranking value, a theoretical loss value, and a comp reinvestment data. The application processor is programmed to calculate patron comp point values based on the comp reinvestment data and patron wager data included in a patron data record.

Abstract: A casino management networked computer system is described. The networked computer system includes a patron evaluation server computer including a processor programmed to initiate a tier review operation for patron account records having gaming transaction occurring within a predefined period of time. The processor programmed to determine a current tier level in a selected patron account record and determine a target tier level having a higher ranking. The processor is programmed to identify a tier point amount and an evaluation period associated with the target tier level, retrieve gaming transactions occurring within the identified evaluation period, calculate an amount of tier points based on the retrieved gaming transactions, and modify the selected patron account record to upgrade the tier level to the target tier level upon determining the calculated amount of tier points is equal to or greater than the tier point amount associated with the target tier level.

Abstract: A system has one or more gaming devices including gaming machines and other devices. At least one transaction reading device is coupled to the gaming devices and reads information associated with the monetary instruments associated with the gaming devices. A host computer is operatively coupled to the transaction reading device. A database is associated with the host computer and is configured to retrievably store the information associated with monetary instruments. A data display device is operatively coupled to the host computer and retrieves and displays a list of the monetary instruments in response to input from a user. The data display device can be associated with a wireless remote device, wired to the host computer or associated with the gaming device. The list of the monetary instruments includes information associated with each of the monetary instruments. The list of the monetary instruments can include information from selected gaming devices.

Abstract: Compositions, methods, systems/devices and media are provided for maintaining a harvested organ in a functioning and viable state prior to implantation. The organ perfusion apparatus includes a preservation chamber for storing the organ during the preservation period. A perfusion circuit is provided having a first line for providing an oxygenated fluid to the organ, and a second line for carrying depleted fluid away from the organ. The perfusion apparatus also includes a device operably associated with the perfusion circuit for maintaining the organ at a substantially normothermic temperature.

Abstract: A system and method for awarding predetermined comps awards to a player playing a gaming device. The comp awards are defined by a casino and stored in a player tracking account. In response to the player meeting a predetermined event or criteria, the player is issued the comp award through the gaming device. The player or the casino will select a delivery method for redeeming the award. The player or the casino will forward the award electronically to another station located in the casino where the comp award will be printed from a station as a comp voucher. The comp voucher may be redeemed at a direct point of redemption in the casino. The comp award may be in the form of a drawing ticket. The drawing ticket may be automatically submitted into a raffle or lottery from the gaming device. The player may also select to have the drawing ticket printed from a station and manually submitted into the raffle or lottery.

Abstract: A computerized gaming incentive system and method for redeeming bonus points from the system. The system includes a computer with a database for storing a plurality of vouchers. Each voucher includes a number of bonus points representing a monetary value. The system allows a user to select one voucher from the plurality of vouchers. When the voucher selected is a non-cashable voucher, the system produces a scrip wagerable at a table game and valued at the amount to be redeemed.
