Abstract

A method and system is provided wherein an event experienced by a player is documented and the documentation of the event is stored (e.g., in association with an indication of the event). One example of an event experienced by a player is an outcome obtained by a player on a gaming device. In such an embodiment the documentation of the event may comprise an image of the player'"'"'s reaction to the outcome and/or a still or video image of the outcome. In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention a player may subsequently access (e.g., purchase) an output of the documentation. In one embodiment an outcome of a prior game play that was documented is replayed. When the outcome of the prior game play is output, the outcome may be output in a manner that indicates to a viewer that the outcome is an outcome of a prior game play and not an outcome of a current game play.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

determining data associated with a game play that had occurred at a gaming device at a time prior to a current time, the data thereby being associated with a prior game play;

outputting the data via a device, the output data being output in a manner that indicates to a viewer of the data that the data is associated with the prior game play and not a current game play.
