Definitions

  • Method for manufacturing a set of lottery tickets including a device for generating a set of lottery tickets and a method for a lottery game
  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a set of lottery tickets according to the preamble to claim 1, a method for generating a set of lottery tickets with particular winning plan according to the preamble to claim 2, gaming arrangement comprising a device for generating a set of lottery tickets according to the preamble to claim 3, a game according to the preamble to claim 4 and a method for a lottery game with lottery tickets of the type comprising at least one bingo game field consisting of a matrix with symbols selected from a particular set of symbols where one symbol is placed in each position in the matrix, and a called symbol field comprising a subset of the said set of symbols.
  • Lottery tickets of the type that comprise at least one bingo game field consisting of a matrix with symbols selected from a particular set of symbols, where one symbol is placed in each position in the matrix are already known.
  • a called symbol field comprising a subset of the said set of symbols is applied on the lottery ticket.
  • the called symbol field can, where applicable, be covered by a thin layer of rubber that can be removed by scratching, whereupon the symbols in the called symbol field appear.
  • a winning lottery ticket is identified, in accordance with a normal bingo game, by a particular pattern being generated when symbols from the said subset are marked on the said matrix.
  • This type of lottery ticket permits only a closed game, where by closed game is meant that the holder of the lottery ticket can determine whether or not he has won without external assistance. Closed games lack the possibility of extra entertainment that is made possible by an open game. By an open game is meant a game such that winners cannot determine completely which prize has been won or whether no prize has been won at all without external assistance.
  • the external assistance means that drawing sequences are obtained via a medium other than the lottery ticket, for example via a TV program, radio program or a computer-based network such as the Internet. In the case when a TV or radio program is used, the game can advantageously be combined with other entertainment which increases the attractiveness of the lottery ticket.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a set of lottery tickets which makes possible both open and closed games. This object is achieved by a method for manufacturing a set of lottery tickets according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a method for manufacturing a set of lottery tickets according to the characterizing part of claim 1. By generating a second subset of the said set of symbols, which second subset is common to the said set of lottery tickets, and which second set of symbols is intended to be applied on the said called symbol field after transmission via a medium separate to the lottery ticket, a winning lottery ticket being identified by a particular number of symbols from the said second subset being found on the said called symbol field, a set of lottery tickets is obtained that makes possible both open and closed games.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a method for generating a set of lottery tickets with particular winning plan that makes possible open and closed games.
  • This object is achieved by a method for generating a set of lottery tickets with particular winning plan according to the characterizing part of claim 2.
  • a winning lottery ticket being identified by a particular number of symbols from the said second subset being found on the said called symbol field, a set of lottery tickets is obtained that makes possible both open and closed games.
  • a third object of the invention is to provide a gaming arrangement comprising a device for generating a set of lottery tickets that makes possible open and closed games.
  • This object is achieved by a device for generating a set of lottery tickets according to the characterizing part of claim 3.
  • the said gaming arrangement comprising a transmission unit, via which a second subset of the said set of symbols is transmitted, which second set of symbols is arranged to be applied on the said called symbol field, a winning lottery ticket being identified by a particular number of symbols from the said second subset being found on the said called symbol field, both closed and open games are made possible.
  • a fourth object of the invention is to provide a game comprising a set of lottery tickets that makes possible both closed and open games.
  • This object is achieved by a game comprising a set of lottery tickets, each of which comprises at least one bingo game field consisting of a matrix with symbols according to the characterizing part of claim 4.
  • a winning lottery ticket being identified by a particular number of symbols from the said second subset being found in the said called symbol field, both closed and open games are made possible.
  • a fifth object of the invention is to provide a method for a lottery game with lottery tickets of the type comprising at least one bingo game field that makes possible both closed and open games.
  • This object is achieved by a method for a lottery game with lottery tickets of the type comprising at least one bingo game field according to claim 5.

  • the particular pattern generally consists of a horizontal or vertical row, a diagonal line or a cross, but other patterns can, of course, be used to identify a winning lottery ticket.
  • Figure 4 shows schematically a method for manufacturing a set of lottery tickets.
  • the method comprises a first step 10 in which a matrix with symbols is applied on each lottery ticket to establish a bingo game field.
  • a printer obtains a set of symbols from a memory in which randomly generated sets of symbols are stored, or alternatively the set of symbols is generated directly by a random symbol generator without intermediate storage.
