  • the present invention relates to a game controller and multi terminal game system adapted for the simultaneous play of more than one game by each player by using more than one random result generator. At any one time all players of the game system can play more than one game, each game using a separate random result generation process which can run simultaneously.
  • the multi terminal gaming system 100 comprises a controller 150 which is in data communication with one or more of player terminals 180.
  • the controller 150 includes a plurality of random result generators 110, 120 130, and a game play coordinator 160. Each of the random result generators 110, 120 130 is used to play a separate game. Each player enters game play instructions to play one or more games using a player terminal 180.
  • Game play instructions received from each player can include instructions to play more than one game, each game being played using one of the random result generators.
  • the game play coordinator 160 is adapted to, when multiple games are played, trigger the random result generator used for the game to generate a random result.
  • Each random result generator generates a random result for a game playable by all the players, and the random result generators can all be operable at the same time to concurrently generate a result for their respective game.
  • each player can play two or more games simultaneously, wherein one game is played using each random result generator.
  • the game play coordinator 160 determines, from the received game play instructions, which games are selected by players and appropriately triggers the random result generators. If a game is not selected for play by any players then the triggering of the random result generator for that game may be omitted.
  • the game play coordinator may also control aspects of game play such as time periods in which players are able to place bets for each game/ these time periods may vary from game to game. Triggering timing of each random result generator may be based on betting period timing, time required for result generation, or the total time period required for execution of a round of the game.
  • All random result generators may be triggered to start result generation at the same time or at different times. However, as each random result generator operates independently of the others all may be executing result generations simultaneously. For example, where one random result generator is a roulette wheel, having a relatively long random result generation time, and another is a coin toss device, having a relatively short random result generation time, several rounds of the coin toss game may be executed during a single round of the roulette game. Thus the coin toss game may be played at a faster rate than the roulette game.
  • each game may be played at the same rate which the result generation for each game triggered to initiate result generation at the same time, as the random result is generated in a shorter time for the coin toss game than the roulette game, the round of the coin toss game can be completed while waiting for the result of the roulette game. The player will get the result of the coin toss game first, then the roulette game before bets are placed again for the next round of both games .
  • the game play coordinator 160 may be implemented as a function of a processor 140.
  • the game play coordinator may be implemented as a software program or set of instructions executable by the processor to receive game play instructions from the player terminals, and in response to the game play instructions, received from one or more players, determine the required random result generators to play the games selected by the players, and trigger random result generation by each required random result generator.
  • the game play coordinator can receive result data from each random result generator and forward the appropriate result data to each player based on each player's instructions.
  • processor is used to refer generically to any device that can process instructions and may include: a microprocessor, microcontroller, application specific device, programmable logic device or other computational device, a general purpose computer (e.g.
