1. A method of operating a gaming system comprising:
- establishing, using a computing device operable to facilitate wagering games and over an electronic network, a contract with a player for a session of two of more plays of a gaming device,the session being defined by at least one session parameter, the at least one session parameter including at least a contract price of the session, the contract price being less than a sum of wagers associated with the two or more plays comprising the session; and
the two or more plays comprising two or more distinct and random outcomes generated by the gaming device;
after establishing the contract, initiating, at the gaming device and using the computing device, the session;
determining, using the computing device, a symbol that denotes the session,the symbol thereby denoting the at least one session parameter and not being a symbol that comprises one of the two or more distinct and random outcomes comprising the session, andthe symbol uniquely identifying the session for the player associated therewith;
determining, using at least one of the computing device and the gaming device, session information that is based on at least one play of the session; and
causing the symbol and the session information to be displayed on a display of a remote computing device associated with the player.

25. A method of operating a gaming system comprising:
-
causing, using a processor of a computing device operable to facilitate a wagering game, a session of flat rate play of a gaming device to be initiated in accordance with at least one price parameter, the session comprising two or more distinct and random outcomes of the wagering game and being defined by at least one session parameter, the at least one session parameter including at least a contract price of the session, the contract price being less than a sum of wagers associated with the two or more distinct and random outcomes; determining, using the processor, a symbol that denotes the session of flat rate play, the symbol thereby denoting the at least one session parameter and not being a symbol that comprises one of the two or more distinct and random outcomes, and the symbol uniquely identifying the session for a player associated therewith; determining, using the processor, session information that is associated with the session of flat rate play; and causing the symbol and the session information to be displayed on a display of a remote computing device associated with the player. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
