Abstract

Embodiments of this concept are directed to gaming devices that are configured to initiate multiple gaming events in response to a player input. The gaming device may include game initiating inputs that initiate a predetermined number of gaming events in response to the player input, or the gaming device may include configurable game initiating inputs that initiate a number of gaming events specified by the player, specified the gaming device, or specified by a gaming server. The gaming device or gaming server may set the number of initiated game events in response to the occurrence of a triggering event.

Claims (30)

1. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

accept from a player of a game an indication of a number of instances of a game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one;

automatically operate the number of instances of the game in the set in sequence by applying a wager selected by the player on each of the games in the set;

automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set; and

stop the gaming device from playing the game set responsive to receipt of a signal generated by the player.

2. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

accept from a player of a game an indication of a number of instances of a game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one;

automatically operate the number of instances of the game in the set in sequence by applying a wager selected by the player on each of the games in the set;

automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set; and

automatically initiate during the set any bonus games accumulated as the games are played.

3. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

accept from a player of a game an indication of a number of instances of a game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one;

automatically operate the number of instances of the game in the set in sequence by applying a wager selected by the player on each of the games in the set;

automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set; and

automatically initiate after the set any bonus games accumulated as the games are played.

4. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

accept from a player of a game an indication of a number of instances of a game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one;

automatically operate the number of instances of the game in the set in sequence by applying a wager selected by the player on each of the games in the set;

automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set; and

display the results of the games in the set in a different order than a natural order of the gaming device.

5. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

accept from a player of a game an indication of a number of instances of a game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one;

automatically operate the number of instances of the game in the set in sequence by applying a wager selected by the player on each of the games in the set;

automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set; and

display the results of at least one game in the set having a losing outcome more rapidly than at least one game in the set having a winning outcome.

6. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

accept from a player of a game an indication of a number of instances of a game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one;

automatically operate the number of instances of the game in the set in sequence by applying a wager selected by the player on each of the games in the set;

automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set; and
