Description

The utility model relates to collective games and can be used to hold lotteries.

A device for conducting lottery games is known, which consists in creating and duplicating numbered lottery tickets with a game field applied to them and drawing them according to a random law at a predetermined time, in determining and issuing a win (see patent RU No. 2023307)

Closest to the present utility model (prototype) is a device that contains a unit for the preparation and duplication of lottery tickets, a unit for generating accounting and game data, a memory unit, a random number generator, a sorting unit, an input / output unit for information, M terminals for selling lottery tickets, prize pool calculation unit, a game conditions setting unit, a comparison unit and an alarm unit having two-way communication with an interface (see, RU patent No. 212430).

A disadvantage of the known devices is the impossibility of simultaneously holding in each round several different lotteries having their own prize pools.

The objective of the claimed utility model is the simultaneous drawing of several lotteries, expanding the lottery area, increasing the number of game participants, increasing the number and size of prize pools, i.e., ultimately, the attractiveness and entertainment of the game.

The problem is solved in that in the proposed device for conducting a lottery containing a block for the preparation and duplication of lottery tickets, a unit for generating accounting and game data, a first, a memory unit,, a sorting unit, an input / output unit, M terminals for the sale of lottery tickets, a prize pool calculation unit , a unit for setting game conditions, a comparison unit, and an alarm unit having two-way communication with an interface, a unit of first N counters additionally connected by a two-way communication with an interface is additionally introduced into it kov, codeword generator, attribute assignment block, second N counter unit, decoder, wherein the second output of the codeword generator is connected to the second input of the attribute assignment block.

credential and game data generation 2, interface 3, first memory unit 4, first counters 5.1-5N, codeword generator 6, attribute assignment unit 7, input-output unit 8, implementation terminals 9.19.M, bank 10, prize pool calculation unit 11, a block of second N counters 12.1-12.N, a block for setting game conditions 13, a random number generation block 14, a comparison block 15, an alarm block 16, a decoder 17

The device operates as follows:

At the first stage, in the block for the preparation and duplication of lottery tickets 1, polygraphic layouts of lottery tickets are developed for each of the conducted lotteries. Polygraphic layouts of lottery tickets and their electronic version provide fields for indicating specific data for each lottery (for example, main or additional, with a specific indication of the type, federal, regional with a specific indication of the region, etc.), fields for indicating the date are provided, the place and time of the draw, the broadcast method, the credential field, the cryptographic or other protection labeling field, the playing field, which may contain M game cards.

For example, let N lotteries be drawn, one of them being a federal lottery, let's call it the main lottery, and (N -1) regional ones, let's call them additional lotteries.

The further operation of the device is considered on the example of an option for the manufacture of lottery tickets, when the same lottery ticket is a dual-use ticket. Such a ticket provides a field for indicating which specific additional lottery is played out by each specific ticket, and without exception, all lottery tickets participate in the main lottery.

The player is given the opportunity to simultaneously win both the prize of the main lottery and the prize for that specific additional lottery, the name of which is printed in the corresponding field of the ticket.

In the unit for generating credential and game data 2, in accordance with a pre-determined circulation of tickets for the main lottery, the content of game cards for each lottery ticket is determined, which through the first interface 3 enters the first memory block 4.

For example, the lottery ticket serial number can be used as credentials, and the playing field can contain two playing cards, each of which contains three rows and nine columns.

Suppose, for example, that the rule for the formation of the content of game cards is that each row contains J numbers from 1 to 90, for example, J 5, provided that no more than two numbers fall into each column of the card and the distribution of numbers in the columns is determined by

M)

to a given condition, for example, numbers from 1 to 9 are entered in the first column, from 10 to 19 in the second, from 20 to 29 in the third, and so on, from 80 to 90 in the last.

From the output of the memory unit 4, the control signal corresponding to the completion of the formation of the reference game data base is fed through the interface 3 to the installation inputs of the first counters 5.15.N, which are a unit for setting the volumes of additional runs 5

At the output of the counters, control signals are generated that simultaneously pass through the interface 3 to the input of the lottery hallmark generation unit, which is a codeword generator 6 and to the control input of the memory unit 4. Based on these signals, through interface 3 to the first input of the attribute assignment unit 7, an information signal is received with a feature field selected at the stage of preparation of the layout from the memory unit 4, corresponding to the block of records by ticket registration numbers registered, for example, by the first counter And the second input unit 7 receives characteristic assigning corresponding codeword from the block formation of character 6. As a result, the codeword is placed in a field in an information signal allocated to it, i.e. All entries in this block are assigned a single attribute (code word) corresponding to the additional lottery in which it participates.

After completing the procedure for assigning the sign of additional lotteries for all circulation tickets, the corresponding information is overwritten in memory block 4, i.e., a database of lottery tickets is generated, systematized both by account numbers and by belonging to the lotteries.

At the command of the lottery operator, which determines the beginning of the ticket printing procedure, from the output of the input-output unit 8 through the interface 3, a control signal is received at the input of the memory unit 4, through which the corresponding electrical signal from the output of the memory unit 4 through the interface 3 is fed to the preparation and duplication unit lottery tickets 1 for the manufacture of printing products.

The quality control of printing products, the destruction of printing defects and the corresponding additional printing of the circulation are carried out in the same block.

All operations are made out in the form of a list and through the first interface 3 are entered into the accounting database of the memory block 4 ..

Prepared printed materials in the form of lottery tickets from the lottery ticket preparation and replication unit 1, by the permission signal from the lottery operator, from the output of input-output unit 8 are sent to the sale terminals of lottery tickets 9.1 9.M

The funds collected during the sale of lottery tickets are received by the bank 10, and the corresponding informational electric signal from the bank 10 is sent to the prize pool calculation unit 11, where the prize fund for each lottery being played and the prize fund for each round are determined in accordance with the rules of the lottery.

In accordance with the date and time of the draw, the lottery organizers set a specific time for recording lottery tickets participating in the game, according to which the formation of the prize pool in block 11 is completed, from the output of which the corresponding signals through interface 3 are sent to the prize pool control unit 12, executed in in the form of counters 12.1 - 12.N.

In the implementation terminals 9.1-9. M, unrealized tickets are collected, the corresponding lists are compiled, tickets and lists are submitted to the lottery ticket preparation and replication unit 1 for destroying these tickets, and the information signal corresponding to the list of destroyed tickets from the block output is again sent to the memory unit 4 for the final adjustment of the list of lottery tickets participating in the drawing.

Upon completion of this operation, access to the adjustment of the database of lottery participants is terminated. According to the signal of the lottery operator, the beginning of the game from the input-output block 8 through the interface 3, the control signal is received at the input of the block for setting the conditions of the game 13, according to which the first operation mode is set in it, from the predefined in accordance with the rules, for example, the first five random data set in the participant’s playing field, and then at the output of the random number generation unit (lottery drum) 14, the first random number is generated, which enters the comparison unit 15, where it is searched in the information database given s playing fields lottery ticket memory unit 4. The comparison is made by all participating in the raffle tickets. In the case of a match, a signal is generated at the output of the comparison block 15, which enters the memory block 4 and fixes the accounting parameter of the ticket containing the same number. As a result of this check, a list of tickets is formed from the general list of tickets participating in the drawing, in which the first played number coincides and a control signal is generated at the output of memory block 4, which is input to the random number generation block 14, allowing the game to continue, and a second one is formed at its output random number, and the corresponding electrical signal enters the comparison block 15 and the cycle is repeated for all the tickets participating in the drawing until at least one ticket has happened fulfilling the conditions of the game, for example, the coincidence of five numbers (characters) in any line of the playing field. In this case, at the output of the comparison unit 15, a control signal is generated, which simultaneously arrives

to the input of the memory unit 4, the input of the random number generating unit 14 and the signaling unit 16.

In the first memory block 4, account numbers of tickets are fixed, the numerical sets in the game fields of which correspond to a random set of numbers recorded in the comparison block 15, and the signal received at the input of the random number generation block 14 prohibits the continuation of the selection of numbers. Using the same signal, information is calculated and recorded on the specific winnings for each winning ticket and the prize pool is modified in the control unit for the prize pool 12 for the next stage of the game under new conditions. In particular, a match of fifteen random numbers in any of the cards on the playing field of a ticket can be considered.

The lottery operator through the information input-output block 8 and interface 3 supplies a control signal to the input of the game conditions setting unit 13, according to which the following operation mode is established in it according to the rules of the lottery.

. According to the operator’s signal, through the input / output unit 8, the first random number of the second round is formed at the output of the random number generation unit 14 and then the entire game cycle is repeated until the signal appears on the output of the comparison unit 15 that at least one ticket matches fifteen numbers in any of the cards of the playing field with fifteen numbers, out of the total number received in the comparison block 15 from the random number generation block 14. Next, a new list of tickets that have passed both games is formed similarly, the winning size is determined for each ticket for the second game and in accordance with the established rules, a third round is held in which the drawing of the prize pool of the Main Lottery is held, for example, for the numbers in the two playing fields to coincide with a dropped set of random numbers and at the same time the first drawing of an additional lottery is carried out under the same condition.

The drawing ends upon the condition that at least one ticket matches the drawn set of random numbers with the set of numbers in the playing field of the ticket. In the comparison unit 14, a control signal is generated, which is transmitted via the interface 3 to the memory unit 4 and fixes the account numbers of the winning tickets. To determine whether a particular additional lottery belongs to the memory block 4, records are recorded corresponding to the account numbers of the winning tickets and a signal is generated which, through interface 3, is supplied to the decoder 17 to determine the conditional sign of the additional lottery.

If this lottery is not exhausted, then the drawing procedure continues cyclically.

In the process of drawing, a situation arises when the prize fund of one or more lotteries is completely exhausted. In this case, at the output of the corresponding prize pool counters 12.1 - 12.N, a control signal is generated, which is transmitted via interface 3 to memory block 4 and blocks (deletes from the list of tickets participating in the lottery) tickets that have the attribute of this lottery. After modifying the list of tickets, the drawing procedure is cyclically repeated until the prize pools of all lotteries announced in the drawing are drawn.

Using the claimed utility model will allow for the simultaneous drawing of several lotteries on one ticket, to expand the ticket sales areas, increase the number of game participants, increase the flow of funds into the lottery and, accordingly, increase the amount of prize funds and their number, i.e. ultimately, the appeal and entertainment of the game.
