Gaming Machine Insurance Mode Shift for Player Retention

The system performs preliminary actions by accumulating game play data and determining bonus game eligibility in advance. The host computer tracks the number of games played by each player and pre-determines when a player has earned bonus game qualifications, ensuring that dedicated players receive recognition before they would otherwise be disappointed by random jackpot failures.

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the host computer continuously monitors player activity and provides information about bonus game eligibility. Players receive feedback about their progress toward bonus qualifications and are notified when they have earned the right to play bonus games, creating a transparent system that builds player trust and satisfaction.

The system employs self-service mechanisms where the host computer automatically tracks player game counts, determines bonus eligibility, and manages bonus game distribution without requiring manual intervention. This automated tracking ensures that every player's contributions are recorded and that rewards are distributed based on actual play rather than pool availability, guaranteeing that dedicated players receive their earned bonuses regardless of overall operation rate.

The system changes parameters by transitioning from a static bonus pool model to a dynamic individual tracking model. Instead of relying on a collective pool that may not reach threshold values, the system tracks individual player game counts and adjusts bonus eligibility parameters based on each player's specific activity, ensuring fair reward distribution across varying operation rates.

The system segments the bonus game into distinct phases: a qualification phase where players earn the right to play based on tracked game counts, and an execution phase where players actually play the bonus game. This segmentation ensures that players who have demonstrated dedication through numerous games are separated from casual players and given guaranteed opportunities to win, while maintaining the excitement of the bonus game itself.

The system performs preliminary determination of bonus eligibility before the bonus game begins. The host computer calculates and confirms player qualification in advance, ensuring that only players who have met the required game count thresholds are selected for bonus games. This preliminary action guarantees that dedicated players receive sufficient profit opportunities while maintaining the excitement and randomness of the bonus game gameplay.
