Claims30
A method comprising:
- storing in memory of a computing device data describing play of a first game by a first game by a player, the data indicating at least one of an amount of time that the first game was played by the player and a number of times that the first game was played by the player;
- determining, by a computer processor, whether the player played the first game for longer than a pre-determined period of time or played the first game more than a pre-determined number of times based at least in part on the stored data;
- based at least in part on determining that the player played the first game for longer than the pre-determined period of time or played the first game more than the pre-determined number of times, providing on an electronic display at least one recommendation to play a second game based at least in part on a determination that the second game has a characteristic in common with a characteristic of the first game;
- ordering the at least one recommendation based at least in part on a number of times that an outcome occurs which returns more than a predetermined multiple of an amount bet;
- and
- based on receipt of location information of a mobile device of a player, causing enabling or disabling of play of the second game on the mobile device of the player based on the location of the mobile device of the player.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media, having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to:
- store in memory of a computing device data describing play of the first game by a player, the data indicating at least one of an amount of time that the first game was played by the player and a number of times that the first game was played by the player;
- determine, by a computer processor, whether the player played the first game for longer than a pre-determined period of time or played the first game more than a pre-determined number of times based at least in part on the stored data;
- based at least in part on determining that the player has played the first game for longer than the pre-determined period of time or played the first game more than the pre-determined number of times, provide on an electronic display at least one recommendation to play a second game based at least in part on a determination that the second game has a characteristic in common with a characteristic of the first game;
- order the at least one recommendation based at least in part on a number of times that an outcome occurs which returns more than a predetermined multiple of an amount bet;
- and
- based on receipt of location information of a mobile device of a player, causing enabling or disabling of play of the second game on the mobile device of the player based on the location of the mobile device of the player.

A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory having instructions stored therein that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- store in memory of a computing device data describing play of the first game by players, the data indicating at least one of an amount of time that the first game was played by each of the players and a number of times that the first game was played by each of the players;
- based at least in part on determining that the first player has played the first game for longer than the pre-determined period of time or played the first game more than the pre-determined number of times, provide on an electronic display to at least one of the first player and a second player at least one recommendation to play a second game based at least in part on a determination that the second game has a characteristic in common with a characteristic of the first game;
- order the at least one recommendation based at least in part on a number of times that an outcome occurs which returns more than a predetermined multiple of an amount bet;
- and
- based on receipt of location information of a mobile device of a player, causing enabling or disabling of play of the second game on the mobile device of the player based on the location of the mobile device of the player.
