Definitions

  • This disclosure relates generally to bingo games and methods, and more particularly to diminishing returns bingo games and methods thereof, where for-profit operators of bingo games can control the player disadvantage so that when a sole player pays for and selects any quantity of cards per bingo game and pays for and pre-selects a plurality of bingo number patterns for each card, as the bingo game proceeds to completion, the player realizes a diminishing return on any one of the player's bingo cards depending on the quantity of bingo numbers drawn to match the player's plurality of pre-selected bingo number patterns.
  • a game of bingo permits a group of players to purchase 5 5 bingo cards containing 24 bingo numbers and a "free space" in the center of the card.
  • Bingo numbers between 1 and 75 are drawn at random either mechanically or electronically until players of the group simultaneously achieve a "bingo" defined by a set of rules.
  • a "bingo” occurs when a player lines up contiguous bingo numbers diagonally, vertically or horizontally on the purchased card.
  • Other versions of a "bingo” require the four corners of a card, the entire frame of a card or every bingo number of a bingo card to match the bingo numbers that are randomly drawn during the bingo game.
  • bingo numbers that are either contiguously lined up with the "free space" (i.e. a diagonal) or alternatively a minimum of five bingo numbers that are contiguously lined up vertically or horizontally on the bingo card and match the drawn bingo numbers provide a declared "bingo".
  • bingo numbers between 1 and 90 are randomly drawn until a "bingo" is achieved.
  • Odom's '935 electronic device randomly selects a set of (operator's) 25 bingo numbers and compares them to those on the card of the player to see whether a winning pattern is obtained, which results in a reward for every matching pattern on the player's card according to a predetermined payout table.
  • a second set of 10 bingo numbers is randomly selected and compared to all bingo numbers on the player's card and if all bingo numbers match the player's card, the player receives a second award.

  • the player can select the bingo numbers for the bingo card to be played and can make a desired wager up to a preselected maximum wager.
  • Payouts are based on a predetermi ⁇ ed payout table award for obtaining particular patterns chosen by the player or the randomly distributed player's card that conform with the requirements of bingo as discussed supra.
  • Current for-profit games come in a myriad of configurations.
  • Successful games have a number of common elements, which include: a player deciding a bet, i.e. a condition under which the player wins; the player making a wager; the game process beginning; a suspense or anticipation period, i.e. between the game process beginning and a final ending; and a settlement at the end where winning bets are paid and losing bets are collected.
  • Suspense is one of the most important of the elements.
  • Odom's '935 patent play ceases after the thirty- fifth number is drawn, so that irrespective of the player's selection of numbers on the player's card, there may be no match, contrary to the traditional bingo game where play continues until at least one player achieves a bingo match.
  • the award for wins increases with the quantity of total bingo pattern matches rather than on the quantity of numbers drawn to achieve a bingo.
  • an attempt is made to allow the player to increase the hit frequency for wins.
  • the hit frequency is the percentage of times there is a win for the player. In Odom's '935 patent this is accomplished by the player having the option of changing the clock speed of the random number generator, providing the illusion of control over the results of the bingo game.
  • a diminishing returns bingo game combines features of bingo and the game of keno. According to the diminishing returns bingo game, the bingo game continues until all bingo number patterns that are pre-selected by the player are drawn. Winnings are based on the quantity of numbers drawn to achieve a bingo number pattern, and a player can make multiple independent wagers in any bingo game, so that more than one bingo number pattern will be awarded a win depending on the player's wagers and the operator's payout table. The win awarded diminishes as more numbers are drawn.
  • the player is in suspense during the entire drawing process of the bingo game to see what bingo number pattern matches lead to which payouts.
  • the operator of the bingo game may change the quantity of awards in each payout table thereby altering the hit frequency for each bingo number pattern pre-selected by the player of the bingo game. For example, in a payout table where 20 draws or less of on an operator's pre-decided bingo winning patterns, produce diminishing awards to the player depending on how few draws are necessary to match the player's pre-selected bingo number patterns on the bingo card, the operator may change the pay-out table to reward 30 draws or less matching the player's pre-selected bingo number patterns on the bingo card on a diminishing award basis for the same operator pre-decided bingo winning patterns.
  • the result of broadening the quantity of awards in the payout table is to increase the hit frequency, because in the example described supra there are now 10 more draws added to the bingo game which provide diminishing rewards to the player, thereby providing the player with a greater chance of achieving a win.
  • the operator may also choose to decrease the amount of each award to insure the operator's for-profit return even though the number of awards is increased.
  • the player may pre-select multiple types of bingo number patterns and each one of the operator selected winning bingo number patterns may have a different diminishing award based on a multiplicity of payout tables with the possibility of different levels of hit frequencies for each one of the player's different types of pre-selected bingo number patterns
  • the award achieved by the player for each one of the types of pre-selected bingo number patterns is independently based on the operator's selected hit frequency payout tables.

Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à une variante d'un jeu de bingo, dans lequel les opérateurs d'un jeu à but lucratif désignent plusieurs combinaisons de nombres de bingo qui peuvent entraîner un gain pour un joueur. De jeu de bingo ne nécessite pas la participation de plusieurs joueurs. Le jeu se poursuit après paiement par le joueur et après que le joueur ait sélectionné une certaine quantité de cartons par jeu de bingo et après qu'il ait en outre présélectionné plusieurs combinaisons pour chaque carton. Les nombres du bingo sont tirés par un générateur de nombres aléatoires d'une machine de jeu, jusqu'à ce que chacune des combinaisons de bingo présélectionnées par le joueur soient complétées. Le joueur réalise ainsi finalement un bingo. Les opérateurs de ce jeu à but lucratif peuvent moduler les pertes du joueur en utilisant plusieurs tableaux du tirage basés sur les types de combinaison comprenant les nombres de bingo atteints par le joueur et en sélectionnant les tableaux de tirage sur la base de la quantité des nombres de bingo tirés, pour atteindre un gain entraînant un rendement décroissant pour le joueur, au fur et à mesure que le jeu de bingo se poursuit jusqu'à son terme.
