Abstract

Pièce de jeu à image cachée et procédé de fabrication et d'utilisation d'une pièce de jeu à image cachée. Une première pièce de jeu à image cachée est formée sur un substrat transparent ou translucide. Une seconde pièce de jeu à image cachée est formée électroniquement, et éventuellement imprimée, ou alternativement sauvegardée et distribuée sous format électronique. La pièce de jeu à image cachée peut être distribuée physiquement ou électroniquement, et elle peut être utilisée pour dériver des informations démographiques à partir des bénéficiaires des pièces de jeu, pour les conduire vers des sites web ou des points de vente, et comme moyen de distribution de publicité, soit sur les pièces de jeu ou sur un site de jeu, qui peut être un site physique, tel qu'un point de vente, ou un site électronique, tel qu'un site Internet. Les procédés selon la présente invention consistent à produire une pièce de jeu, à dériver des informations démographiques des bénéficiaires des pièces de jeu et à fournir de la publicité à ces bénéficiaires.
