A game system, for soliciting donations to charities and organizations as a promotion to expose charitable groups or other organizations to a wider range of potential donors as well as to expand the locations currently available. To encourage such donations the system includes a sub-system that provides the donor and non-donors alike with an opportunity to play a game of chance with the credits that the person receives with each donation. The donor may then save such credits or play them, and to the extent a person wins, a promotional prize will be awarded.
