Abstract:
1. A gaming device comprising: a game; a plurality of game situations, wherein at least one of said game situations occurs after the start of play of said game which requires player input to continue the game; a plurality of hold codes, wherein each hold code provides a mathematically optimal suggestion of how to continue the game at the occurrence of one of the game situations to obtain an optimal outcome from a plurality of outcomes associated with each said game situation; a hold code index associated with each game situation, wherein said game situations with a redundant plurality of possible outcomes have the same hold code index; a data storage device which stores the plurality of hold codes and hold code indexes; a player input device; and a processor operable with the data storage device and the player input device to: (a) generate at least one of the game situations; (b) enable a player to make an input; (c) determine the hold code index associated with the generated game situation; (d) determine the hold code associated with said hold code index; (e) indicate said hold code to the player; and (f) enable the player to accept or reject the hold code.
