Abstract: Gaming devices dispense tickets which are unrelated to a player's success on a particular game played on a gaming device or to the player's credits on a credit meter or other “cash out” indicator. The gaming devices provide gaming awards, and also provide tickets. Other methods provide tickets during the play of wagering games. Still other embodiments comprise lottery terminals which dispense tickets other than those purchased by a lottery patron or won on a purchased lottery ticket.

Abstract: A preferred method by which microorganisms and nutritive media are sprayed, brushed, dripped, or otherwise applied, onto freshly cut rock, stone, freshly formed concrete, or other hard manmade surface, in order for the target surface to take on a weathered appearance in the least amount of time. The present inventive product and process by product creates a process by which surface materials may be scraped or gathered from a nearby location, mixed with water and/or a nutritive media, and either further treated to promote additional growth of necessary microorganisms, or the directly applied to the surface of the freshly cut rock or stone, or freshly formed concrete or other hard, manmade surface thereby providing a weathered appearance in the shortest period of time. Newly built structures of rock, stone, concrete, or other hard surface are thus provided with an appearance which fits into mature and established areas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to products that would benefit from durable low friction surfaces which are abrasion, puncture and cut resistant and demonstrate, either in performance and/or laboratory tests, significant improvements in these properties when compared to surfaces coated with low friction materials via traditional methods. Traditionally coated materials would not be able to achieve similar gauge, 1/128 to ½ inch or more, with the same combination of durability, abrasion, puncture or cut resistance as with this invention. Products that could benefit from this invention include, but are not limited to boat hulls, skies, snow boards, snow mobiles, jet skies, conveyor systems, airplane exteriors, surfaces of torpedoes, bullets, missiles and similar armaments. Cars, heavy equipment, machine parts, submarines, treadmills for glides for furniture and equipment, dental tools and appliances, medical implants, internal combustion engines, turbines and all surfaces which require lubrication.

Abstract: The present invention consists of preferred methods or embodiments by which microorganisms and a nutritive media are sprayed, brushed, dripped or otherwise applied onto freshly cut rock or stone, or freshly formed concrete or other hard, man made surface, in order for the subject surface to take on a weathered appearance in the least amount of time. It is believed that stone quarries, freshly hewn rocks and newly built buildings may take on an appearance which may be considered out of place next to more mature, established areas.
