Definitions

  • pari-mutuel industry offers a program of entertainment for a period of several hours, either live at the track or televised, with the opportunity to place wagers from one race to the next and with winnings being posted to the player's account immediately the results and prizes are known.
  • pari-mutuel gaming adds to the entertainment value by the fact that wagers can be associated to the results of several races, with the possibility of greater prizes as the wager progresses from race to race.
  • no existing lottery games offer the frequency or excitement offered by the pari-mutuel type wagers. Until the games offered by lotteries offer these benefits to the player, it is unlikely that a player will establish a deposit account with the lottery authority to merely play twice a week on lotto.
  • the right games i.e., those that offer entertainment value, convenience and frequency, will provide the incentive for lottery players to register with a loyalty program.
  • Such advertising income makes the loyalty program more rewarding.
  • Lotteries have a monopoly to provide their products to players within their geographic area.
  • lottery authority officials restrict the sale of their products to within their jurisdiction, and have resisted opportunities to market their products outside.
  • the use of the internet can provide access to players outside of a particular jurisdiction, even with controlled access. As such, there is a need for an improved, more exciting lottery game that utilizes the internet or other computer network while still providing the lottery authority control over the appropriate use of payment by credit as well as age and jurisdictional control.
  • the invention addresses the need to maintain jurisdictional and age control in the sale of lottery tickets while limiting the payment options, since most lottery jurisdictions do not permit payment for lottery tickets on credit. Additionally, the invention provides the frequency and excitement typically offered by pari-mutuel type play in an internet-based system.
  • the invention in one embodiment includes the sale of instant game lottery tickets from a standard instant ticket vending machine (ITVM) or the like.
  • Each lotteryticket includes a unique serial number in a bar code or other format.
  • the ticket's bar code is read by the dispensing ITVM and transmitted to a central computer system for recording and access to remaining play data such as interactive game information to be played via the internet.
  • the ticket includes an access code and/or internet address fer subsequent interactive internet-based play.
  • the interactive game may be played from one's own personal computer or an online terminal incorporated into the ITVM.
  • the invention utilizes existing instant game themes which players are accustomed to while allowing internet capabilities to provide additional and extended play. Additional features of the invention are disclosed hereinbelow.
  • This invention provides solutions to the above-issues and enables the lottery industry to access the full potential of the internet in a secure and controlled manner.

  • the present invention provides the technology to securely dispense instant game lottery tickets 10 and to read a unique bar code
  • This invention provides the ability to provide ticket-by-ticket accountability for the instant game product.
  • a lottery ticket dispenser, terminal or ITVM 14 is disclosed in applicant's pending U.S. Patent Applications Serial No. 09/128,406, filed August 3, 1998 and Serial No. 09/385,336, filed August 30, 1999, each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
  • This attribute of the ITVM makes possible a new generation of hybrid instant tickets 10 according to the present invention that provides play of a conventional instant lottery game with its instant prize gratification, and extended play via an interactive game on the Internet either in the retail location, at home or elsewhere.
  • the ITVM 14 disclosed in the '406 and '336 patent applications provides all of the capabilities to provide these game play features and functions at a retail location 16.
  • applicant's pending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/828,643, filed August 3, 1998 and hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety discloses a device that provides a peripheral to an existing on-line terminal or PC connected to the Internet to deliver these new hybrid instant tickets 10.
  • the full service player activated terminal 14 disclosed in the above-identified patent applications is a platform to distribute lottery information via the internet 18 while in the idle mode (i.e., awaiting a player to insert money to purchase a ticket 10).
  • the terminals 14 provide access to the respective lottery web sites to attract player attention and to provide such information as winning numbers, current jackpots, prize pay-outs, etc.
  • the terminals 14 could also provide for player services such as the submission of prize claim forms and general correspondence.
  • the game design according to the present invention can be as varied as the conventional instant game tickets 10 that are marketed by lotteries today. For purposes of describing one embodiment of the invention, a game with a golf theme will be described.
  • the game may comprise nine holes that the player will play against an opponent with instant game information in the form of the player's score 20 being concealed under a removable and/or scratch-off layer 20a on the instant ticket 10.
  • the ticket's bar code 12 is read by the ticket dispensing terminal 14 and transmitted to a central computer 22 for recording and access to interactive game information or remaining play data associated with the ticket's bar code 12, i.e., the opponent's scores for the nine holes.
  • the interactive game information may include the opponent's scores, a transaction serial number, an internet access code, web site address and/or applicable security data which, in one embodiment, are then transmitted to the point of sale terminal or ITVM 14, where the interactive game information is printed on the ticket 10 in an interactive game information portion 21 or elsewhere to complete the transaction.
  • the interactive game information 21 may be already printed on the ticket 10 and activated upon receipt of the bar code 12 information at the central computer system 22.
  • the hybrid instant ticket 10 is in two parts: 1) the instant game 20 and, 2) the interactive or internet game 21. The player removes the layer 20a from the ticket 10 to reveal the instant game information 20 and matches the player's score with the opponent's score to determine if the ticket 10 is a winner.
  • Winning tickets 10 can be cashed immediately as with other instant game tickets, possibly resulting in the player purchasing more tickets. Win or lose, the player subsequently continues to play the game via the internet 18 in an interactive mode.
  • the ITVM 14 or other unit is suitably equipped with a personal computer (PC) with internet access/capability or the like 14a incorporated therein for customer use, or a PC 15 remote from the ITVM 14, the player will log on to the web site printed on the ticket 10.
  • an interactive and graphically exciting golf game will be downloaded to the PC 15 or ITVM 14a for the player to play once the internet access code, which is printed on the ticket 10, is entered.
  • the player can now play the nine holes of golf in an interactive manner via the internet 18 for an extended period of time at his or her leisure.
  • the objective being to beat the opponent's score printed originally on the ticket 10 and now displayed also on the PC 15 or ITVM 14a monitor as part of the game's graphics.
  • the game's result will be purely based on a random result.
  • the game could be designed to provide a high frequency of winners, and the player will be able to play additional games using some or all of the prize winnings to pay for the additional games.
  • Remaining prize money can be collected by presentation of the original ticket 10 at any lottery retailer, by submitting a form over the internet, or having the money deposited for future use in a loyalty program deposit account.
  • a flow chart of one embodiment of the lottery gaming system and associated method according to this invention is shown.
  • the lottery game is initiated by a player purchasing one or more tickets 10 from a typical ITVM 14 as shown by block 110 of Fig. 5.
  • the ITVM 14 may include tickets 10 from a variety of different games or game types and the player must select the appropriate game(s) 112.
  • the bar code 12 is read from each ticket 10 in the ITVM 14 as shown by block 114.
  • the information of the bar code 12 is then transmitted to a central computer
  • the remaining pay data 21 is generated 118.
  • the remaining play date generation 118 may be accomplished by the central computer at which time the remaining play data is added to the tickets 120.
  • the remaining play data may be pre-printed on the ticket(s) 10 and merely initialized once the associated bar code information 12 is received by the central computer 116.
  • the remaining play data added to the tickets 120 may be accomplished by printing the information received from the central computer actually onto the ticket. Subsequently, the ticket(s) is/are dispensed to the player 122. Instant game data 20 is included on the ticket and the player uncovers the layer 20a to determine whether the ticket is an instant winner 124.
  • winning tickets may be redeemed for cash and/or more tickets 128 as is customary with many instant game lottery transactions. If the player decides to play the instant game again 130, additional games are selected by the player 112 and the process repeats itself. If the ticket 10 is not an instant winner 126, the player accesses the internet with the access code and website printed on the ticket(s) 132. With such information, interactive play via the internet 134 commences at the conclusion of which the player determines whether continued internet play is desired 136. If the player wishes to end the interactive play via the internet, the game is over 138.
  • the above described concept is but one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the invention addresses and provides solutions for the issues facing lottery authorities wishing to move forward with an internet product offering.
  • the invention in various aspects uses an instant game type format which will enable a player to adapt to the new play format without extensive player education.
  • the initial purchase of the ticket 10 can be made from an established lottery retailer, which requires cash and thereby does not require legislative change to allow credit payment. Payment in cash to the lottery retailer reduces the potential abuse of payments made by credit, even if credit payments are available. Because the retailer is involved in the transaction, a retailer commission is generated and the retailer is supportive of the lottery's program. Whereas, if removed from the transaction, the retailer may stop selling the lottery products. Additional lottery products provide the retailer with additional opportunities to earn increased commissions.
  • the purchase of the initial ticket 10 from the retailer provides safeguards and controls with respect to play by minors. Purchasing the initial ticket for cash and allowing extended and additional play against prize winnings avoids the need for payment using credit. Purchasing the original ticket at an authorized lottery retailer eliminates the issue of jurisdiction control while allowing the player access via the internet, for example, even if the player resides in a different jurisdiction from where the ticket was purchased.
  • the present invention can utilize existing instant game themes with which players are accustomed while allowing the internet capabilities to provide additional and extended play to those themes. Entertaining and graphically exciting card games, slot machines and sports games, to list a few examples, are downloaded and these games can be priced to provide extensive and prolonged play value.
  • nine holes of golf on a par 3 course could provide up to 15 minutes of extended internet-based play value, with a small number of higher value prizes.
  • a blackjack card game would provide fast action and could provide the player with 20 hands for an initial $1 purchase.
  • prizes would be smaller but large enough to fund additional play.
  • a progressive jackpot can be included to further enhance the excitement of play.
  • the odds of winning the jackpot prize are 1 in 10,077,696. While these are long odds, the power of a progressive jackpot prize downloaded to each game participant's PC and the excitement of potentially winning the jackpot prize as each hole is played, in addition to winning a smaller prize are significant features of the invention.
  • One such jackpot prize system is disclosed in the above-identified '643 U.S. Patent Application.
  • This invention includes play utilizing the internet which will appeal to the new generation of lottery players, those who have been brought up with a mouse (or joy stick) in their hand.
  • This next generation of computer savvy players is looking for the thrill and entertainment value offered by interactive games.
  • Membership in a loyalty program especially if such membership provides additional benefits through competitive challenges, also offers significant advantages. For example, using the golf game as a vehicle, players playing a golf game over the internet could elect to have a particular game entered into a separate competition open only to loyalty program members. During the days of play of a major professional golf tournament, the player could nominate one of his games to be entered. The best score would receive points and at the end of the golf season the players with the most points would win a prize or prizes, which could be a golf vacation, a round of golf with a professional, golf lessons or golfing/lottery merchandise.
  • the possibilities are endless and the utilization of the internet brings lottery products into the home for the enjoyment and pleasure of the player in a secure and controlled manner, and within the current legal framework of most lottery jurisdictions.
  • the game design and distribution concepts of this invention provide a new category of interactive lottery products to appeal to the enormous appetite the public at large has for professional sports and other cultural events. While the lottery products are games of chance and not sports betting, the perception of the lottery player, the dreams and the aspirations of playing and competing with the best athletes or performers has tremendous marketing appeal.
  • the invention allows a player when, upon accessing the web site, to select the course he/she wishes to play from a selection of the world's top courses, and then the player selects an opponent to play from a list of the world's leading players.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de jeu de loterie et un procédé associé dans lequel on utilise l'Internet (18) ainsi qu'un jeu de loterie instantanée. La nécessité de maintenir un contrôle juridictionnel et relatif à l'âge pour la vente de tickets (10) de loterie est conservée tout en limitant les options de paiement étant donné que la plupart des juridictions de loterie n'autorisent pas le paiement à crédit des tickets (10) de loterie. Chaque ticket de loterie comprend un numéro de série unique (21) inscrit dans un code à barres (12) ou dans un autre format. Lors de l'achat du ticket, le code à barres du ticket est lu par le terminal (14) de distribution des tickets et envoyé à un système (22) d'ordinateur central qui enregistre et accède aux données de jeu restantes. Hormis le jeu instantané prévu sur le ticket de loterie, le ticket comprend un code d'accès ou une adresse Internet permettant de jouer ultérieurement de manière interactive via l'Internet. On peut accéder au jeu interactif depuis son propre ordinateur personnel (15) ou depuis un terminal en ligne (14a) inclus dans le distributeur automatique (14) de tickets.
