Description

Technical field

The technical solution concerns the connection of the system equipment for the number lottery Mobil Bingo, where betting is realized by means of mobile transmission means with activated SMS service in the GSM network of the operator. The present system includes a comprehensive solution for betting and transfer, betting status information, additionally game progress information and the game activation itself via the GSM mobile network, which is connected to a number lottery operator by means of communication. The technical solution belongs to the field of electronic data transmission via mobile networks and automated data processing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numeric lotteries such as Kenya, Loto, Bingo, which are currently run by bookmakers, use online terminals to place bets. The bettors mark their tickets on a pre-printed ticket and have the lottery ticket confirmed by the lottery operator. The operator will record the necessary data into the central system via the online terminal15, such as the ticket number, the deposit amount and other data necessary for the proper operation of the game. The disadvantage of existing number lotteries is the limited number of collection points that are equipped with online terminals and where bets can be placed. The game plans for individual lotteries are also adapted to this fact.

Existing disadvantages can be eliminated through the proposed concept of an electronic lottery system that ensures simple and reliable wagering.

The essence of the technical solution

The essence of the technical solution is to solve the connection of the system equipment of the game so as to eliminate the mentioned lack of a limited number of collection points and the possibility of placing bets in a different way than is currently known. The basis is to find an advantageous system of betting gaming consisting of a betting device, transmission means, playing coupons, communication and computing means for controlling the game, and a number lottery draw device.

The basis of the Mobil Bingo number lottery is the use of short text messages in a precisely defined format, possibly via the Mobile Station's Menu (SIM toolkit technology) for placing bets and transmitting additional information in the betting process. Short Text Messages ('the

SMS) are a standard GSM network service. Their length is up to 160 characters and can be sent from a mobile station within user programs.

The essence of the technical solution is that the means by which the bettor places his bet is not a pre-printed ticket, but an SMS that is sent from a mobile station to the mobile Bingo phone number. The betting device will thus most often be a GSM mobile phone, but any mobile device equipped with a GSM modem, such as electronic organizers, diaries and communicators, can be used as a mobile station for placing SMS bets.

The operator of hiy Mobil Bingo is an entity interconnected by means of communication and through the application interface to the SMSC operator and at the same time to the central bookmaker system or to the online terminal of the bookmaker.

The bettor's deposit does not constitute the amount he pays for the completed ticket at selected collection points, but it is given by the price of the SMS. In the first case, the stake for the game may be the price of an SMS (one SMS bet), which is determined by an agreement between the Bookmaker and the GSM operator. In the latter case, the price may be set by the game operator and is given by the price of the SMS, which is stated on the over-the-counter coupon. On the coupon, the prize is printed along with the game's phone number, prepaid credit, barcode and game activation code. The sale price of the coupon is then given

-1 CZ 13114 U1 times the price of one SMS bet and the number of prepaid bets that are marked on the coupon. In both cases, the bettor activates the game via voicemail (IVR system).

Based on these basic facts is based on the game plan of the betting game Mobil Bingo and the actual connection of the communication and computing means necessary for the realization of the number lottery Mobil

Bingo.

The advantages of the proposed connection of the system system for the Mobil Bingo number lottery are that the possibility of placing bets is extended to all available mobile stations operating in GSM networks that have activated SMS service and the process of betting itself is significantly automated.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The connection of the Mobil Bingo number lottery system device is explained in more detail by means of the attached drawings, which show the connection of the communication and computing means necessary for the realization of the number lottery - Fig. 1 and the model of the winning ticket designed for payout - Fig. 2.

Examples of technical solution

The proposed Mobil Bingo number lottery is a game of chance and is proposed as a 5 out of 30 bet. In the 5 out of 30 number lottery, the bettor predicts five out of thirty numbers that will be drawn according to his draw prize. When placing bets, he / she will use the mobile station activated for Mobil Bingo and enter his / her betting tip via SMS. The proposed game can be easily modified, for example, instead of sending 5 numbers, the possibility of sending a different number of numbers, or sending characters. Given that the GSM mobile phone most often has a keyboard with 26 alphabetic characters, it is possible to adjust the game to 6 characters out of 26.

The betting period is 1 hour per 24 hours, every day from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm The winning numbers are drawn at the end of the respective wagering period. 5 winning numbers are drawn for each draw.

The gambling principal of the Mobil Bingo 5 lottery number 5 out of 30 is the total of wagering deposits received during the respective betting period separately for each of these betting games. The gambling principal of the Mobil Bingo number lottery for a single betting game is multiplied by the number of received SMS bets and the price per bet. The suggested price for one SMS bet, ie the price for received SMS, which was sent to the phone number of the game Mobil Bingo, is CZK 10.

An SMS bet is therefore an SMS message in a precisely defined format, sent from a mobile station that is activated for Mobil Bingo and delivered to the communication device of the mobile Bingo operator.

The draw itself is operated by a subject with the appropriate license for the operation of number lotteries.

31 balls, marked from 1 to 30, and one JACKPOT ball are placed in the lottery. During one draw, 5 balls of fate are drawn in random order. In the event that a ball marked as JACKPOT is drawn in random order, a total of 6 balls are drawn.

In the Mobil Bingo number lottery 5 out of 30, if the five numbers are correctly bet, the betting player wins the first order. In case the bettor correctly guessed 5 numbers for the game and at the same time the ball with the label JACKPOT was pulled in the game, the bettor gets the win in the first order and at the same time accumulated funds that make up JACKOT.

Mathematical probability of winning in the first order for game 5 of 30:

n 30

C _K (n) = (k) and = (5) = 142,506 options,

30 probability P _A = (5) / (5) = 0.000007017 = 0.0007%.

The winnings are half (50%) of the game's principal for the relevant wagering period. Winning principal is divided into win quota as follows: 7 '

80% of the principal amount -1. order, -; .

% of winnings - JACKPOT. -:

If there is no win in the first betting period, the amount of this win is transferred to the next betting period and added to the JACKPOT win quota of that betting period. The accumulated funds (JACKPOT) are moved to the betting period, when the ball marked JACKPOT is pulled and at the same time the win is in the first order.

The game can be played by the owner of a mobile station (eg a GSM mobile phone) who activates the Mobil Bingo service before the game starts. The service can be activated via the IVR system (voicemail) at your GSM operator or directly at the operator of the Mobil Bingo game.

The bettor enters his bet via mobile phone as an SMS message in the following format:

- game number,

- 5 numbers separated by a separator.

The proposed Mobil Bingo number lottery can be realized through one betting company, which is also the operator of the game, or through two cooperating entities, namely the betting office, which is also the operator of the game and the GSM operator.

If the bookmaker operates the game independently only through the game operator

Mobile Bingo, will issue coupons for this game. The coupons will be available at different sales prices, indicating the sales price (credit), the price per SMS bet, the game activation code, the betting code bar and the game information.

In the case of cooperation between the bookmaker and the GSM operator, all deposits for individual games in the form of the sum for the transmitted SMS are recorded and charged with the GSM operator. The GSM operator transfers these funds (game principal) to the bookmaker, which according to the rules realizes the payout of winnings based on the winning ticket. The winner of the winning ticket will receive the winning ticket from the GSM operator by registered mail. The winning ticket has a K2 code and a box to complete the winning code K1. The K1 code is obtained by SMS from the mobile Bingo operator. The K2 code is obtained from the GSM Bingo operator. An example of a winning ticket is in the attached drawing.

The stake for the game consists of the price for the transferred SMS bet on the phone number of the game Mobil Bingo.

In the case of cooperation between the GSM operator and the bookmaker, the price of an SMS (one SMS bet) determined by the GSM operator may be a stake for the game. In the case of running a lottery only by the bookmaker, the price can be determined by the bookmaker and is given by the price of the SMS, which is stated on the over-the-counter coupon. The coupon shows the price printed along with the game phone number and game activation code. Based on this code, the operator of Mobil Bingo is informed of the credit created for the mobile station. The selling price of the coupon is then a multiple of the price of one SMS bet and the number of prepaid bets that are marked on the coupon. Example of SMS bet processing
