1. A gaming device comprising:
a wager accepter that accepts an indication of an amount to be wagered by a player;
a single base game;
a multiple-spin button for accepting from the player an indication of a number of instances of the base game desired to be played in a set, the desired number being a fixed number greater than one; and
a game processor configured to automatically operate the number of instances of the base game in the set in sequence by applying at least a portion of the wager on each of the games in the set and automatically displaying an outcome of each game in the set.
2. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein the amount to be wagered by the player is different for at least two games in the set.
3. The gaming device of claim 1, further comprising a button operable by the player to stop the gaming device from playing the game set.
4. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein any bonus games accumulated during the set are automatically initiated during the set.
5. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein any bonus games accumulated during the set are automatically initiated after the set has completed.
6. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein, the gaming device shows results of the games in the set in a different order than a natural order of the gaming device.
7. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein results of at least one game in the set having a losing outcome is displayed more rapidly than at least one game in the set having a winning outcome.
8. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein the multiple-spin button is the only game initiating button for the gaming device.
9. The gaming device of claim 1, further comprising a credit meter that displays a number of play credits available to be wagered at the gaming device.
10. The gaming device of claim 1 wherein the gaming device further includes a game initiation actuator operatively connected to the game processor and wherein the game processor is configured to automatically operate the number of instances of the base game in the set in sequence responsive to receiving a single player input via the game initiation actuator.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An intracorporeal marker for marking a site within living tissue of a host, the intracorporeal marker comprising:
an outer body portion of biodegradable material;
an inner body portion located in the outer body portion, the inner body portion configured to include biological material that becomes calcified in a the living tissue of the host over time; and
an agent that interacts with the biological material to promote calcification of the biological material of the inner body portion in the living tissue of the host.
2-29. (canceled)
30. The marker of claim 1, wherein the biological material includes porcine aortic wall tissue.
31. The marker of claim 1, wherein the biological material includes elastin that has been cross-linked.
32. The marker of claim 1, wherein the agent is at least one of bone growth factor, phospholipids, and polyethylene glycol.
33. The marker of claim 1, wherein the inner body portion is entirely encased within the outer body portion, and the outer body portion is porous.
34. The marker of claim 1, wherein the outer body portion includes collagen.
35. The marker of claim 1, wherein the outer body portion is a porous gelatin.
36. An intracorporeal marker for marking a site within living tissue of a host, the intracorporeal marker comprising:
an outer body portion of biodegradable material configured to be ultrasound detectable; and
an inner body portion located in the outer body portion, the inner body portion including biological material configured to calcify in the living tissue of the host over a period of time to enhance X-ray or MRI detectability of the inner body portion.
37. The marker of claim 36, wherein the outer body portion is configured to be detectable by ultrasound over a first time period and the inner body portion is configured to undergo calcification to be detectable by X-ray or MRI prior to the expiration of the first time period.
38. The marker of claim 36, wherein the inner body portion includes an agent that interacts with the biological material to promote calcification of the biological material.
39. The marker of claim 38, wherein the agent is at least one of bone growth factor, phospholipids, and polyethylene glycol.
40. The marker of claim 36, wherein the inner body portion is entirely encased within the outer body portion, and the outer body portion is porous.
41. The marker of claim 36, wherein the biological material includes a material with elastin.
42. The marker of claim 36, wherein the biological material includes a material with elastin that has been cross-linked.
43. The marker of claim 36, wherein the biological material includes porcine aortic wall tissue.
44. The marker of claim 36, wherein the outer body portion includes porous collagen.
45. The marker of claim 36, wherein the outer body portion is a porous gelatin.
46. An intracorporeal marker for marking a site within living tissue of a human host, the intracorporeal marker comprising:
an outer body portion of biodegradable material;
an inner body portion located within the outer body portion, the inner body portion configured with elastin that calcifies in the living tissue of the human host over time; and
a biological additive that interacts with the elastin to promote calcification of the elastin in the living tissue of the human host.
47. The marker of claim 46, wherein the inner body portion is entirely encased within the outer body portion, and the outer body portion is porous.
48. The marker of claim 46, wherein the biodegradable material of the outer body portion of is one of collagen foam or gelatin foam, and the elastin is embedded in the outer body portion.
