Description
The present invention requires to file in the U.S. on the 6th temporary patent application sequence No.60/317 in September calendar year 2001,671 interests, and be combined in this and do whole reference.
Technical field
The method and system of the present invention relates to a kind of data issue, gathering and mating more particularly, relate to the method and system of the data issue, collection and the coupling that are used for interactive game.
Background of invention
Current, wide variety of lottery games, entertainment options and lottery industry system.Up to now, however to by the internet or even the computer network of a plurality of locals carry out the lottery industry interactive game and still also have certain obstacle.Yet the internet is very effective, and unconfined visit effectively and economically is provided, but so far, the lottery industry industry does not overcome obstacles so that the lottery industry activity by the safety of internet or more local area computer networks to be provided.
Most of lottery industry jurisdictions particularly in the U.S., do not allow to be the payment of lottery industry lottery ticket based on credit.Therefore, before the variation of making so legislation, the player must by in cash or their savings account of deducting payment of the permission of having set up with this lottery authority buy their lottery ticket.At this moment it will be heavy and expensive managing such lottery industry account, and not wish that the player utilizes such account to carry out the mixing recreation of current existence.In the past, account bet or phone are betted was not once had success by test in the lottery industry industry.Yet in horse racing activity industry, account is betted and success in the extreme in jurisdiction is particularly only allowed this form of making a bet in the international market.
Product provides between lottery industry industry and horse racing activity industry is not both the factor of arranging successfully or failing.It is the program of the amusement in cycle that horse racing activity industry provides some hrs, or the competition field is on-the-spot or television broadcasting, have from team match to the match chance of making a bet next time and have can transfer items immediately player's account of winner, its result and bonus are all as can be known.In addition, can be associated with the result that several times are competed, when stake is competed from competing to when carrying out, thereby the possibility of jackpot be arranged forward, increase recreational value as the horse racing movable game because institute makes a bet.Perhaps instant gambling and Keno make an exception, existing gaming fail to provide by making a bet of horse racing activity bring the sort of frequent and exciting.Unless the recreation that is provided by lottery industry provides these interests to the player, it seems the player not can only play in a week twice " network holder " (lotto) play go up for lottery industry management organization savings number of the account.
Another obstacle that utilizes the internet to sell gaming product is the problem of age control.Unless lottery industry can provide mechanism and formality to prevent that the minor from playing, the access to the Internet gaming is less feasible.Also may allow low age player lottery industry with credit card, unless ratified in player's mandate before.

Another very important focus of realizing the access to the Internet gaming product is a jurisdictional control.Lottery industry has the exclusive right that they products is offered player in its region.Generally speaking, the mandate official of lottery industry is limited in its production marketing in its compass of competency, and stops the chance of its product of marketing to the outside.
The use of internet can provide visit for extraneous player in a given jurisdiction, though be controlled visit.
So, exist a kind of needs to improve more excited gaming, it utilizes internet or other computer networks and is still controlled by lottery industry authorized organization at aspects such as credit payment and age and controls of authority simultaneously.

Further, expand recreation though most of bonus is little, 21 recreation of a progression can be included with further raising recreation excitant.In front in the golf game of Miao Shuing, for example, if each hole have between 1 to 6 go out ball may and get 21 the recreation bonuses target will mate adversary's mark for each hole exactly, obtain 21 the recreation bonuses chance will be 10,1/077th, 696.Because this is very little possibility, the total amount of 21 recreation of progression downloads to each recreation participant's PC, and when when playing each hole, stimulate potentially and obtain the bonus of 21 recreation, also winning an a spot of bonus in addition is notable attribute of the present invention.21 such bonus systems are disclosed in above-mentioned definite ' 643 U.S. Patent application.
The present invention includes the recreation that utilizes the internet, it will attract the gaming person of a new generation, and they utilize the mouse (or joystick) in their hand and cultivate.This computer can be done the operator next generation stimulation that provided by interactive entertainment and the value of amusement are being provided.All members in loyalty program if so especially member provides additional interests by the contest challenge, also just provide tangible advantage.For example, utilize golf game as media, the player by the internet carry out golf game can select one enter one independent only to the special recreation of the open contest of loyalty program member.During the date that an important professional golf championship is carried out, the player can nominate in the recreation that he enters.Best score is counted accepting and when the end in golf season, player with peak number will win bonus or a plurality of bonus, and it may be that golf vacation and professional sportsman play one and take turns golf, golf course or golf/lottery industry commodity.
It is endless adopting its possibility of the present invention, and the use of internet leads gaming product to enter family, and awards the player and enjoys under safety and controlled way and lie fallow, and within the legal framework that current most of lottery industries are administered.
The notion of game design of the present invention and distribution provides a kind of project of mutual gaming product newly, and is popular very interested in to professional motion and other cultural incident to attract.Because this gaming product is recreation gambly, rather than athletic competition (the gaming person understands this point), dream and the serious hope of carrying out activity and contest with best sportsman and performing artist have great demand.
Use above-mentioned golf game again, the present invention allows the player can select his desirable activity from the world the top plan menu when visit Web website, and the player selects an adversary to carry out activity from world-class player's inventory then.Though false, movable conception and the rights and interests of boasting, the player defeats " the tiger Wood on the cobblestone seabeach (the famous golfer's name of the U.S.) " and has huge recreational value.
When golf is widely used in describing the present invention, and according to aspects of the present invention by utilizing internet and concentrated multiple technologies when improving gaming product, permitted motion personalization and they separately the motion mandate and be another aspect of the present invention (just, softball, basketball, football, hockey, rugby, billiards and tennis pocket) to the possibility that the intersection of all motions promotes.For example, movable and defeat the Wimbledon champion and will have significant attraction.So the market Energy of the image of reputation will make the gaming product that mixes as product have significant attraction on original instant lottery ticket.
From the detailed description of the above general principle of the present invention that discloses and further at least one preferred embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that various will be responsive to modification of the present invention.Therefore, I require to be limited by following claim and the scope that is equal to clauses and subclauses.
