  • 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.

Abstract

Procédé de loterie sportive mise en application sur un réseau informatique, cette loterie étant constituée par des parieurs sélectionnant un ensemble de sommes. Chaque somme est calculée par l'addition d'informations numériques obtenues à partir des événements spécifiques se déroulant lors de rencontres sportives. L'ensemble des sommes est constitué par les sommes provenant de plusieurs rencontres sportives ayant lieu le même jour. Au lieu de sélectionner l'ensemble des sommes, les parieurs peuvent faire effectuer cette sélection par le système informatique. A la conclusion des événements de chaque rencontre sportive, les informations provenant de ces événements spécifiques sont additionnées par le système informatique. Le ou les gagnants sont les parieurs qui possèdent au moins deux des sommes gagnantes dans leur sélection. La mise en oeuvre de ce système informatique comprend l'émission d'un ticket, ainsi que des modules collecteurs de gains.
