Entertainment machine using biometric information

An entertainment machine comprising:

• a biometric acquisition mechanism to obtain biometric information of a customer;
• a computer-readable medium having stored thereon a database of biometric information of a plurality of predetermined people;
• a comparison mechanism to compare the biometric information of the customer against the database to yield one or more people having biometric information that most closely matches the biometric information of the customer;
• and,
• an output mechanism to indicate to the customer the one or more people having biometric information that most closely matches the biometric information of the customer.

A method comprising:

• detecting biometric information of a first customer by an entertainment machine;
• detecting biometric information of a second customer by the entertainment machine;
• determining how closely the biometric information of the first customer and the biometric information of the second customer match;
• and,
• indicating how closely the biometric information of the first customer and the biometric information of the second customer match to the first and the second customers by the entertainment machine.
