A method is used in combination with a processor and symbol-reading or symbol-providing technology to provide incentives to casino players during playing time of the casino players at games in which quality of strategy of play or quality of wagering strategy is determined. This can be accomplished by:

• • a) identifying at least one specific player on a processor;
  • b) capturing game play information of that at least one player on the processor;
  • c) on hands or rounds where there are alternative playing or wagering strategies that can be played on specific hands, the processor identifying what play or wager strategy is executed by the at least one player;
  • d) the processor determining a valuation or valuation rate or valuation amount for the casino based upon specific play or wager strategy executed by the at least one player on the specific hands;
  • e) collecting valuation performance rates or amounts over an at least minimum number of played hands for the at least one player to determine at least one player valuator; and
  • f) subsequent to the determination of the at least one player valuator, providing the at least one player with value based on the at least one player valuator for the at least one player.

A gaming machine executes the processes of: accepting the selection of a condition required to start a normal game from plural start conditions by an input device; incrementing the number of game play in a counter corresponding to a selected start condition, at the start of the normal game; awarding a benefit based on the result of the normal game displayed on a display device and the selected start condition; determining whether the number of game play in the counter reaches a threshold game play count, and awarding the right to run the free game for a predetermined number of times when the number of game play reaches the threshold game play count; and in the free game, based on the result of the free game displayed on the display device and the start condition corresponding to the counter reaching the threshold game play count, awarding the benefit.

Numeral values relating to depletion can be managed in real time on a component-by-component (unit-by-unit) basis. A value managing device is provided, and manages the current asset values of constituent elements by reading identification information from IC tags or the like attached to constituent elements (e.g., components, units, parts) constituting a game-playing machine and storing identification information (e.g., part IDs) for uniquely identifying the constituent elements. The value managing device includes: a storage section storing the dates of acquisition and acquisition prices of the constituent elements in association with the identification information; and a value computing section for computing the current assets of the constituent elements from the dates of acquisition and acquisition prices of the constituent elements corresponding to the identification information read from the IC tags or the like.
