Definitions
- This invention relates to gaming, specifically to games of chance associated with sport and horse and dog racing.
- the invention may broadly be said to consist in a sporting lottery method implemented on a computer network wherein punters select a preset plurality of numbers or said punters accept a preset plurality of random numbers generated by a computer on said network, comprising the steps: for each bet: capturing on a node on said computer network, said preset plurality of numbers, and storing each said bet in association with a bet identifier in a database; and for each lottery: publishing a set of predetermined rules including rules relating to the calculation of a plurality of winning numbers, the calculation of each said winning number being based on specified events occurring at at least one specified sporting fixture, at the conclusion of each of said sporting fixtures recording numerical information derived from said specified events in a database on said computer network, at the conclusion of all the sporting fixtures specified in said predetermined rules, calculating said plurality of winning numbers by applying said set of predetermined
- the numerical information recorded is the numerical identifier of participants who cause a said specified event to occur and wherein the rule for calculating each said winning number is to perform a whole number numerical operation on said plurality of numerical identifiers of the at least one specified sporting fixture,
- said whole number numerical operation is to add up the numerical identifiers.
- At least one of said sporting fixture is a race meeting including a plurality of individual races, each said specified event is winning a said race, the numerical information recorded is the numerical identifier allocated to the winning participant and said predetermined rule is to add up said numerical identifiers.
- the minimum number of said sporting fixtures specified in said predetermined rules is four.
- Preferably said predetermined rules specify that if a sporting fixture is abandoned the winning number associated with the abandoned fixture will be zero.
- said predetermined rules specify that if a sporting fixture is abandoned the winning number is calculated from another sporting fixture.
- Preferably said predetermined rules specify that payment is made in relation to bets wherein the said plurality of winning numbers match two or more said preset plurality of numbers of the bet.
- said sporting lottery method including the steps of: printing a ticket recording the selected or generated preset plurality of numbers; and validating said ticket before paying said prize money.
- the invention may broadly be said to consist in a computer system programmed to implement the sporting lottery method above.
- the invention may broadly be said to consist in a computer system for determining a set of winning numbers for a sporting lottery comprising: storing a set of predetermined rules including rules relating to the calculation of a. plurality of winning numbers, the calculation of each said winning number being based on specified events occurring at at least one specified sporting fixture; at the conclusion of each of said sporting fixtures recording numerical information derived from said specified events in a database; and at the conclusion of all the sporting fixtures specified in said predetermined rules, calculating said plurality of winning numbers by applying said set of predetermined rules to said numerical information.
- the numerical information recorded is the numerical identifier of participants who cause a said specified event to occur and wherein the rule for calculating each said winning number is to perform a whole number numerical operation on said plurality of numerical ' identifiers of the at least one specified sporting fixture,
- said whole number numerical operation is to add up the numerical identifiers.
- At least one of said sporting fixture is a race meeting including a plurality of individual races, each said specified event is winning a said race, the numerical information recorded is the numerical identifier allocated to the winning participant and said predetermined rule is to add up said numerical identifiers.
- the minimum number of said sporting fixtures specified in said predetermined rules is four.
- Preferably said predetermined rules specify that if a sporting fixture is abandoned the winning number associated with the abandoned fixture will be zero.
- said predetermined rules specify that if a sporting fixture is abandoned the winning number is calculated from another sporting fixture.
- the invention may broadly be said to consist in a racing lottery implemented on a computer network when a plurality of race meetings are held on the same day wherein punters select the sum of the starting numbers allocated to the winning participants of each of a plurality of races at each of said race meetings resulting in a summed winning number set for the plurality of said race meetings and this said summed number set is captured on a node on said computer network, or said punters accept a random summed number set generated by a computer on said network, whereupon: said node prints a ticket recording the selected or generated said summed number set in both human and machine readable form for retention by said punter; after each of said plurality of races is run the numbers of the winning participant is entered into a database located on said computer network; after said plurality of races at said plurality of said race meetings have all been run the winning numbers of all said races from each said race meeting are summed by a computer on said network to produce a summed winning number set; said punters who believe they
- the starting numbers of all dead heating participants are summed to produce the winning number for that race.
- the winning number or summed winning number will be zero.
- the resulting summed winning number is calculated from another selected race meeting.
- punters win monetary prizes when they hold tickets with two or more numbers in a number set matching those in said summed winning number set.
- Figure 1 is a diagram generally indicating a computer network for implementing the present invention.
- the present invention provides a system for sports gaming.
- the winning lottery numbers are typically the numbers resulting from the total sum of the winning horse numbers from eight horse races at four separate race meetings.
- the lottery result depends on four numbers typically ranging from zero to two hundred and forty, inclusive. Prizes are typically won when the correct lottery numbers are selected for two, three, or four race meets in a single gaming line. The amount of money paid out is dependant on the number of persons making correct selections.
- the infrastructure required to support this gaming system consists of a server networked to a plurality of remote computer terminals to create a computer network.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention requires that, in any one week, there will be at least one day when four race meetings occur.
- a meeting may also be referred to as a sporting fixture throughout this specification. While all the sporting fixtures are preferably held on one day the lottery may equally use sporting fixtures held over a time delimited period such as a weekend.
- Each horse racing meet typically consists of eight races with a plurality of horses competing in each race.
- Each participating horse racing number is the allocated number for that participant in the lottery.
- the numbers of each winning horse from every race in one meet are summed to produce a single total number. This number is the winning lottery number for that race meet. For example, if the horse number one wins every race, the resultant would be eight on an eight-race programme. If the same configuration occurred in every race meet, the winning game line consisting of the summed numbers from each race meet would look like this: Race Meet 1 - 8
- Monetary prizes are typically won when two, three or four winning numbers are selected on one ticket in one gaming line.
- a gaming line corresponds to four summed number selections, one for each race meet, in a single numbered column. If all four numbers are correct, then 80% of the pool is won; if three numbers are correct, 15% of the pool is won; if two numbers are correct, 5% of the pool is won. If one number is correct, there is no pay out. If there is more than one winner in any division, the prize is split between the winners. If there are no winners in any prize division, then that money is carried over to the next race meeting so the amount of money in the prize pool increases. This increased prize pool is known as a jackpot.
- the ticketing system consists of a plurality of remote terminals 2, networked to a server 1.
- the remote terminals 2 collect data and transfer it once the server 1 requires it.
- the data collected relates to details such as number selections and sales, calculating odds and payments etc.
- Lottery numbers may be manually selected by customers or randomly generated by the remote terminals 2. Manually selected numbers are keyed into the remote terminals 2, and a ticket with bar codes is generated for this number selection.
- the server 1, allocates bar codes for all lottery tickets.
- the server 1 performs the majority of processing, for example, it can calculate the total pool fund, number of sales, undetected wins and any statistical data required.
- messages containing winning bar code numbers are generated and transmitted to the remote terminals 2.
- the remote terminals 2 check the lottery ticket bar codes and report any wins to the server 1.
- winning ticket bar code numbers are recorded and stored on the server 1. This eliminates the risk of overpaying, multiple payments or forged tickets.
- the minimum number of gaming lines is four lines per ticket.
- the price of a ticket incrementally increases as the number of gaming lines increases.
- customers may check their tickets on the remote terminals 2.
- the bar codes from the lottery tickets are scanned and matched with the winning ticket bar codes on the server 1. If the ticket is valid, a validation message is sent to the remote terminal 2 where matching has been requested authorising pay out to the customer.
- each number is calculated by adding the number allocated to the players in a rugby match that score a try.
- the set of numbers could be calculated based on the results of four or more rugby matches held on the same day or over a time limited period such as a weekend.
- Any sport in which the participants are allocated numerical identifiers and has an event that can be specified is suitable for use to calculate the lottery numbers.
- Soccer is another example of a sport where the participants have a numerical identifier and scorning a goal is an example of an event which could be used to aid in the calculation of a lottery number.
- Different sporting fixtures could be used for the calculation of different numbers and multiple fixtures could be used to calculate each number.
