  • the order of the player' s action is now determined by lighting up the name of the players in a clockwise circular fashion and the speed of the rotational light is gradually slowed down until the light stops at one of the players.
  • the light stops at one of the players such as the player 12
  • the player may be marked with an FP "first player" symbol and the next turn goes to the next player in a clockwise order. If the next player in turn is eliminated due to lack of sufficient points to play with, this position is skipped and the turn goes to the next player still in the game. This means that one or several players may have to act first in more than one round.
  • the first wagering round 118 of the first round of the game now starts. All the players, including the player 12, have been assigned 300 points. This is shown in box 96 for the player 12. The first window 98 showing the category 34 is then lit while the other categories are dimmed. It is now up"to '" the player 12 to decide the wager amount based on the knowledge of which category has been displayed in the window 98. The wager amount 94 is withdrawn from the player's total game points 96. If the player 12 is knowledgeable in the subject matter a large amount is wagered while a low amount is selected if the player is not very familiar with the subject matter.

For example, if the player 12 has previously wagered 30 points and decides to reduce the wager amount to half, the new wager amount is 15 points and 285 points remain in the total points 96. If a player does not respond to the wager request within a certain time period, it is assumed that no change in the wagering amount is made. An important feature of the game is that a player will not see the same heading for a question twice so as to be able to foresee the question by recognizing the heading for fairness purposes during the wagering procedure.
  • the software 62 and its database 28 keep track of which questions and heading the players have seen or answered in previous games. However, the player may be asked to answer the same question more than once and is therefore rewarded for playing often. A question that has been asked many times may be phased out and replaced with new questions.

  • the appropriate question for the selected degree of difficulty appears on the display 106.
  • the players now have, for example, fifteen seconds to respond to the question 106 by pressing one of the buttons 108-114.

If a player has, for example, selected the difficult version of the question only the difficult question is displayed in the display 106 for that particular player. After the expiration of the response time, the correct answer is given and a tally round 124 begins.
  • the total points-amount is adjusted depending on whether the player selected an easy, medium or difficult question. If an incorrect answer has been given the total amount is reduced by the wager amount from the second wager round 120. Whether the players answered correctly or not is now sequentially displayed and the new total tally points are calculated for each player. The current ranking of the player, after each completed round, is displayed in a ranking display 116. If two players have the same total points then the player who answered first is given the higher rank. If a player has no total points left, the player is placed at number ten and receives ten points that are put into the points-account 80.
  • the players have the opportunity to increase the wager amounts in the second and third wager rounds, a player who has a relatively low total of points may become very competitive in the last round if the correct answer is given and the player cannot therefore be discounted by the other players .
  • the first round of the game is now completed and the players continue with the second round and the game continues until all ten rounds have been completed. After the completion of the tenth round, the final ranking is then displayed in the display 116.

  • the players may also play with money stakes. It is important to keep the points that affect the points-account 80 separate from stakes that affects the cash account 82. For example, the players may not only pay the administration fee, such as $2, but also a stake fee, such as $10. The administration fee is paid to the organizer and is used for administering the game and preparing questions etc. The stake fee is used for prizes so that the winner may receive 50% of the total stake sum of $100 and the second player receives 30% or $30 and the third player may receive 20% or $20.
  • the cash accounts 82 for the top three players are added with the appropriate amount.
  • the quick button 68 activates a simpler version of the game compared to the game that is activated by the stakes button 66.
  • the quick game has only 5 players and only one wager round so that the category and heading are revealed at the same time. All questions are of medium difficulty.
  • the maximum amount of points a player can obtain is 100 points and the minimum amount is 20 points.
  • the single button 70 activates a game version that enables the player to play solitary but against the statistical results of other players that have played previously. The player simply pays the administration fee to initiate the game.
  • the computer determines how the player answers and wagering amounts compare to the average single player. For example, a player who scores in the 91-100 percentiles compared to the other players, who have completed the solitary version, obtains 150 points while the player that obtains an average score obtains 50-60 points that are added to the points-account 80 of the player.
  • the player may select the category or use a random selection of categories. If the player selects a category then only medium and difficult questions will be provided.
  • the players will now be given an option to use the placement points in other tournaments to win a grand prize such as a new Mercedes.
  • the 100 top players with the highest accumulated points in the points-account 80 may be invited to a closed tournament when the tournament is limited to the top hundred players.
  • the player with the highest points may be assigned the first table and the player with the second highest placement points is assigned the second table and so on.
  • the player may accumulate points from the stakes game, the quick game and the single player game in the points- account 80 to participate in the current competition shown in Fig. 1. It should be noted that all players start the current competition 74 with no points so the points in the points- account 80 are only used for qualification purposes.
  • the previously obtained points are used to qualify the player as being one of the hundred top players that are invited to participate in the final round of the closed current competition 74. It is therefore important for a player to check the player' s position to make sure the player does not fall outside the top one hundred. If the player is dropping in ranking, the player may try to go up in ranking by playing more games to obtain more points. The 100 finalists may be divided into 10 games. The top 10 players then play in the final game to obtain the grand prize. Any player may participate in open tournaments by paying the required fees.

  • An important feature of the game 202 is that viewers 230 of the TV program may interactively play the game also by using a mobile telephone 232 or any other suitable communication media.
  • the questions such as the question 234 with multiple choice answers 236a-d, appear in a display 233 on the screen 204.
  • the question 234 may be the first question of a round 237 that preferably includes ten questions.
  • the round 237 may include any suitable number of questions and multiple choice answers.
  • Another important feature of the game 202 is that the questions only have multiple choice answers. Each question requires an objective answer so that they can be responded to by using strings of letters or numbers. Objective multiple choice answers are relatively easy to electronically/digitally review to compute the number of correct answers .
  • the correct answer 235 is not displayed on the screen 204 until the viewers 230 have had the chance to respond to the question 234 by sending, for example, a SMS message to the organizer 240 of the TV program 202.
