Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to a system for transfer of data in a network, and more specifically to a gambling system, in particular an electronically controlled game, lotteries, and such like.
  • the invention relates to utilisation of a network, in particular an international network.
  • WO 96/37866 Al relates to a (playing) system divided into two or three different hierarchic levels where at the lowest, possibly the two lowest, levels there is a plurality of groups/regions which may each have different rules for playing.
  • Part of the system is a main administration server which controls/monitors all games and is intended substantially in real time to give stake-paying users access to the various games which are part of the system.
  • the game comprises various levels of award of prizes. At the lowest level there is e.g. a confined area such as within one hotel or one region, and at the highest level there is a global jackpot. A certain proportion of the stake goes to a local administrator/provider of the game, including funds for local prizes, while part goes towards regional and global prizes.
  • the known system takes as its basis a game which is physically taking place from selected hotels where the players need to seek out those locations where the gambling system is being offered.
  • the present invention offers access to a gambling system via the Internet which is thus totally independent of the whereabouts of the players, i.e. they do not seek out the game physically, but electronically via the Internet. It is in other words the system which finds the player and not the other way round, where the player does not need to seek out a hotel (it might just as well have been amusement halls which were linked up and not hotels) in order to play.
  • the known system is furthermore constructed with 3 levels of Jackpots; a local Jackpot for each hotel which can be won only by players within that single hotel , then a regional Jackpot for the individual town, state or nation, where players, irrespective of what hotel you play from or in which town, state or country you may be.
  • the known system is thus different from a system which takes as its foundation that domestic games are played, independently of each other, where 10 per cent of the total turnover from all countries go into one pot, a Global Jackpot, which is won by whoever draws the winning ticket from among 2,097,152 tickets of which 2,097,151 are "blank” tickets. All players qualify here and have identical chances of winning. In other words, no qualifications are required in order to participate, the players buying 10 national tickets at a time and "into the bargain” the players are then given a ticket in the international real time lottery with each national ticket they buy.
  • the known Jackpots give the players ticket numbers which are drawn after the gambling has finished for the day and the size of the Jackpot calculated. That system is in other words not a real time lottery, and there may also be several winners having to share the Jackpot, exactly as in "Gull-Lotto" where there is rarely just one winner.
  • the basis for the present invention is the objective of providing an international gambling system which utilises what is per se known technology in a network model, e.g. via the Internet, at a domestic level, and as such a network model providing access to games at a domestic level in accordance with current rules within each jurisdiction, particularly within each individual country, state, region etc.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide domestic games which may be linked up to domestic charitable organisations and ensuring that gambling revenues from one country go towards local charitable organisations without disappearing out of the country concerned etc.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a gambling system where several users can play not just domestically but also internationally against each other, and then in particular for one and the same international "Global Jackpot" while they each play for local lottery winnings at the domestic level.
  • One aim of the invention could also comprise a system for transfer of data in a network such as e.g. the Internet, and more specifically a gambling system which ensures that the residents in the various countries are only permitted to participate in the domestic lotteries of the respective countries, and especially an electronically controlled money game with tickets drawn in advance at the domestic level combined with a real time game at the international level where players in all countries have the same winning chance of winning a common Global Jackpot.

  • a first aspect of the invention aims at a system for transfer of data in a network, especially in connection with games, lotteries and such like, the said system comprising substantially one main administration server, characterised in that the said main administration server, possibly via additional suitable servers, communicating with domestic and/or regional and/or international users participating in the said game, lottery and such like, at the domestic level in accordance with current rules in the domestic/regional/international jurisdiction concerned.
  • a second aspect of the invention aims to provide an electronically controlled game, lottery and similar payment machine game, comprising e.g. random games, skills games, or combinations of these, characterised in that the individual game, lottery or similar is designed to be part of a global network modelled in such a way as to provide access to games at a domestic / regional / international level in accordance with current rules within the jurisdiction applicable to the single user's country, state etc.
  • the present invention describes in an additional aspect the utilisation of a network, in particular an international network, especially in connection with games, lotteries and such like, characterised in that the individual games are procured by suitable animation in the form of reel slot, video poker, bingo, scratch cards etc. , and that the game takes place via e.g. the Internet, yet is still played locally according to current laws and regulations where the individual player normally has his residence and normally plays his game from, e.g. from a home computer.

  • the sale of tickets takes place in the various countries, with the purchase of tickets, payment of stakes and paying out of winnings (except for the "Global Jackpot") taking place locally, even when the game takes place internationally via the Internet.
  • Jackpot is by definition not a ticket drawn electronically in advance which does indeed presuppose a fixed number of tickets and a certain number of prizes.
  • the winnings from the payment machines normally have a pay-back percentage (at the operator's option) of 85, 87,
  • Jackpot is in other words an automated game based on winnings being drawn by lots.

  • Jackpot AS As soon as the player has registered with Jackpot AS, by completing a form on screen and thereby having a "Jackpot Account” opened, with player number and country code, where the player merely fills in the name and address, the player is able to play at once provided the local lottery approves playing without the use of CD-ROM with a unique "player ID" which absolutely safeguards against playing across national borders, i.e. approves localisation relying on telephone number with country code and area code. The player must in that case have access to payment transfer via the Internet with the SET standard of the card companies or using a card reader from his own terminal.
  • the player buys a minimum of 10 tickets @ NOK 10 in local currency which approximately corresponds to the Norwegian price of a ticket (e.g. DEM 2.50, GBP 1.00, USD 1.50, CHF 2.00, SEK 10.00, ITL 1250, ESP 200, DKK 10.00, YEP 175, PTE 250, FFR 8.00), ECU 1.25, etc.).

  • the players may also leave it to the computer to choose a charitable organisation (or a state-run lottery) , and the computer then chooses automatically among the organisations according to the principle one by one, so that all organisations receive equally much from the players chosing "automatic choice” .
  • the players may themselves choose the organisation to which they want part of the profits to go, by marking off their preferred organisation on the list.
  • the player chooses the form of play he/she wants. From a menu the player may choose among playing slot machine, poker, bingo, scratch card etc., and is thereafter directly into the actual lottery in the desired form of play.
  • the player starts the game and "opens" one and one ticket by pressing the start key. At the same time a message is sent to the "Global Jackpot” server to draw an additional ticket. Before the player has finished the domestic game, the outcome is ready from the additional game, so that the player is being told on the panel of the outcome which appears in a separate box showing the 7 reels which then stop at the combination of tickets which was drawn. Here there are no winnings for 5 or 6 correct ones , but only one top prize where "the winner takes all", i.e. the sum total of the pot at the time it is being won.
  • the tickets have numbers in a series of tickets, e.g. 047- 002-127-0141658-011 where the first number is the country code (Norway in this instance) , the second number shows the series of tickets from which the ticket comes, then the actual number of the ticket (in a series of 1,000,000 tickets) , and finally the code of the charitable organisation to whom the series of tickets belongs.
  • the tickets being bought have consecutive numbers, but for each ticket, the numbers/symbols which are hidden, have already been drawn (as with scratch cards) . Those numbers or symbols emerge (appear) when the player "opens" the tickets by pressing start.
  • the player is then dealt 5 cards in poker, or the reels spin as in a slot machine, or the outcome appears in the form of a bingo table with a ball bouncing across the screen, marking (by change of colour) the boxes drawn, while the correct combination lights up, waiting to be hit by the ball, or one chooses an ordinary scratch card version or similar.
  • the game is and remains the same, it is only the presentation mode (read: mode of entertainment) and thus the entertainment value for each individual, which the players themselves choose.
  • the player then continues with the next 9 tickets (always buying 10 tickets at a time) while at the same time the player watches the "Jackpot” window which shows the time of the day for the last "Global Jackpot” and its sum total. In addition there is a counter right below in the same window, showing the new "Global Jackpot” building up. It is growing at NOK 1.00 for every single ticket “opened” so that the figure increases rapidly. With 500 players in on a world-wide basis, it increases by NOK 14 per second, i.e. NOK 50,000 per hour, and it may be won at any time. At times the pot will rise by many hundred thousand per hour.

  • Such a card may be an electronic card of the "smart card” type where the "Jackpot Pay & Play Card” is intended to replace the use of coins or tokens as means of payment in pay-out machines in that the card incorporates a microchip in the same way as the "TeleKort” from Telenor, being sold with 22, 65 or 150 units through Narvesen,
  • An electronic "Play Card” is to contain 10, 30 or 50 tickets @ NOK 10 per ticket. With the cards only containing a certain number of games when the cards are bought, the cards then have a credit balance corresponding to the value of any tickets not used, i.e. that a new "Play Card” or “Game Card” is bought with a balance of either NOK 100, NOK 300 or NOK 500 (in local currency) . In that the cards both read and write, the player may collect winnings in the card and later on use these as means of payment when buying new tickets in that the winnings (the amount) will be transferred to the card via a card reader (terminal) .

  • One alternative is to sell the "GameCard” via amusement halls or similar, making it the responsibility of the placing party (the owner of the premises) to arrange for sale of the smart cards for his 20 per cent of the net income.
  • GameCard may be that the player may at any time transfer the balance in the card to his bank account by "emptying" the card into the account for his winnings with Jackpot AS, asking that the amount be paid out / transferred to the player's bank account along the lines of an ordinary payment of winnings .
  • the smart card is to provide easy access to the game as an alternative to the banks' own schemes such as e.g.
  • player number (player number, country code, name, address, bank account etc.) which remain stored in the player's account on the server.
  • the invention also describes an international gambling system which utilises a per se known technology in a network model via the Internet with games machines at the domestic level in amusement halls and other public places (restaurants, pubs, department stores, convenience stores, bus, train, and ferry terminals, airports etc.).
  • the system allows access to the same games as on the Internet from an ordinary computer with a modem, but for use via terminals placed out in the same manner as ordinary slot machines and similar, where the players play at the domestic level for domestic prizes in addition to playing together for an international "Global Jackpot" competing with players from the Internet and own terminals. This means that the players take part in precisely the same game as takes place on the Internet, but from terminals in amusement halls and similar.
  • the system connects together private and public gambling domestically and internationally.
  • the players may participate in a world-wide game in that the games machines are both connected together via the Internet and to all other players playing on the Internet.
  • the system may be designed for use of CD-ROM for the transfer of sound, graphics etc. (the whole package of software) , as the use of CD-ROM in the present concept may be part of an additional security precaution to ensure that playing via the Internet only includes players who have bought he CD-ROM from the local Intertoto company in each country. This means that if you buy a CD-ROM disc from one of the Norsk Tipping commission agents, then you cannot take part in "Global Jackpot” from Tipstjanst.
  • a player may play with Norsk Tipping via the Internet from Kuala Lumpur provided he has first lived in Norway, has a Norwegian bank account and address and has bought software from Narvesen and taken with him the notebook with its ISDN card or modem and software. It is only the purchase of tickets, payment routines, exchange of domestic and international tickets, access to databases, on-line function to the counter which shows in real time the exact amount in the international Jackpot which will need, strictly speaking, to pass via the Internet.
