System for processing gaming activity

1. A method of capturing behavior of a player at a gaming device during a gaming session, the method comprising:

recording each interaction between the player and the gaming device;

storing the recorded interactions;

recreating the gaming session based on the stored recorded interactions; and

determining at least one behavioral characteristic of the player based on the recreated gaming session.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein recording each interaction includes recording every one of a plurality of player inputs from the player to the gaming device and a display of at least one of a game outcome, an intermediate game step, or a bonus.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein recording each interaction includes recording every input signal received by the gaming device from a player action and every output signal generated by the gaming device to trigger an output that is perceivable to the player.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein recording each interaction includes:

receiving a signal that a predetermined event has occurred; and

recording each player input from the player for a predetermined period.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein recording each interaction between the player and the gaming device includes:

recognizing each interaction between the player and the gaming device;

associating a time stamp with each recognized interaction; and

generating an activity record that includes a recognized interaction and an associated time stamp.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein storing the recorded interactions includes adding the generated activity record to a session report.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a generated activity record includes at least a game identification code, an activity description, and a recorded time.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein recreating the gaming session based on the stored recorded interactions includes:

loading a stored session report;

stitching activity records within the loaded session report together; and

generating a representative game session.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising displaying the representative game session.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein displaying the representative game session includes displaying the representative game session in a real-time format that displays the interactions between the player and the gaming device in a substantially similar durational pattern to the gaming session.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein displaying the representative game session includes displaying the representative game session in a compressed-time format that displays the interactions between the player and the gaming device in a substantially shortened durational pattern to the game session.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising manipulating the display of the representative game session responsive to inputs received from an operator.

13. A method of analyzing behavior of a player at a gaming device during a gaming session, the method comprising:

recording each interaction between the player and the gaming device;

storing the recorded interactions;

analyzing the recorded interactions; and

modifying a parameter of the gaming device based on the analysis.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising associating the modified parameter with the player when the player is an identified player.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein modifying a parameter of the gaming device based on the analysis includes modifying a parameter of any gaming device that identifies the player.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the parameter is temporarily modified.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the parameter is continually modified in response to newly recorded and analyzed interactions.
