Abstract: The invention comprises a method for multiple plays for free games. Some games of chance, or of skill, or of mixed skill and chance are only or can only be proposed for free to players. Enabling players to play many more times for free associated with a paid-for service of generation of multiple free plays is the main purpose of the invention. It comprises, namely, an embodiment for a free lottery and an embodiment for a financial forecasting game. It comprises an additional description, for a financial game, of automatic or semi-automatic generation of forecasts.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a method for a financial forecasting game wherein players can take positions on specific very high leverage option-type products. It includes related mathematical modeling methods which can be used to operate these option-type products under the form of a game. It includes, namely, methods to determine probability laws, validate and optimise models, calculate risks, measure individual performance, use steering variables such as tolerance margins and volatility-driven point values. It includes, as a specific application, detailed mathematical formulas to operate the game with three market indexes.

Abstract: A Point Of Sale (POS) system is presented that can consolidate and reconcile sales information from various POS terminals with financial information from one or more financial systems, including bank-related systems and credit-related systems. In some instances, the POS system enables a user to access, from a POS connected server, a financial report based on the reconciliation of sales and financial information associated with a sales transaction.

Abstract: A method, POS system, and computer program product is provided for integrating a POS system with social networking platforms. A Point Of Sale (POS) system obtains sales information associated with a sales transaction. After acquiring a customer's authorization to use his/her e-mail address information, the POS system reconciles the sales information with marketing data. The POS system packages marketing information based on the sales information acquired and communicates the marketing information associated with the sales transaction to a social networking platform to which the customer is a subscriber.

Abstract: A Point Of Sale (POS) reconciles generates revenue estimation data based on the reconciliation of POS sales transactions associated with a sales incentive (e.g., a store or manufacturer coupon). When a coupon is used in conjunction with a sales transaction at a POS, the coupon can be verified and factored in the sales transaction. The sales incentive data can be synchronized, along with other sales information in a POS connected server, where the data can be reconciled and analyzed for future reporting to a remote user requesting the revenue data. The POS connected server, or the POS terminal itself, can generate revenue estimations, return on investment calculations, and related reports.
