Abstract: Described herein are a gaming system, method, computer server, and computer program product that utilise a first gaming table and a predefined number of tokens. The gaming table includes a number of cells that correspond to the number of tokens and each token has an associated value. The tokens are stored in the cells of the gaming table, with one token in each cell, until all of the cells are populated. The gaming system, method, and computer program product of the present disclosure compute a score for a player by utilising the values associated with the tokens.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of gaming, in which a first player and a second player each submit a set of 2 completed gaming tables, a game board and a guess board, for competition against each other. Each gaming table has the same number of gaming cells and is populated by the respective player with a set of tokens. The populated game board of the first player is compared to the populated guess board of the second player to determine a score for either the first player or the second player, depending on the scoring methodology. Similarly, the populated game board of the second player is compared to the guess board of the first player to determine a score for the first player. Two gaming tables are compared against each other by comparing the values of tokens located in corresponding positions of the gaming tables that are being compared. An intermediate score is determined for each position on the gaming table. Those intermediate scores are then utilized to determine a score for a player.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and system for distributing funds associated with a game. The method receives a plurality of requests to enter the game and processes each request to issue a corresponding ticket in the game. Each ticket is associated with a donation to a selected charity and a pledge amount. The method determines a total pool of funds derived from the tickets and determines a winning ticket of the game from the plurality of tickets issued in response to the requests. The method then distributes the total pool of funds between a charity pool and a prize pool, dependent upon the donations and the pledge amount associated with the winning ticket.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is gaming utilizing a first gaming table (3010) and a predefined number of first tokens (3015), wherein said first gaming table (3010) includes a plurality of cells corresponding to said number of first tokens (3015), each cell of said first gaming table being associated with a unique identifier, and further wherein each of said first tokens has an associated value. In an embodiment, populating (1015) said first gaming table by storing each of said first tokens in one of said cells of said first gaming table; iteratively selecting (1020), by a first player, one of said cells of said first gaming table to reveal one of said first tokens stored therein, until each of said first tokens has been revealed; and utilizing said values associated with said first tokens to determine a score for said first player, based on an order in which said first tokens were revealed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method, system, and computer program product for conducting a lottery in conjunction with a communications network. The method conducts a lottery tournament among a plurality of entries, wherein each entry is associated with ticketing information, including a gaming token. In particular, the method organises a tournament draw among the plurality of entries, wherein the tournament draw provides a schedule of knockout matches for the entries. The schedule includes a plurality of rounds of matches, each match being a contest between a plurality of the entries. For each round of matches, the method determines a winner for each match in the round, based on a predefined gaming algorithm and the gaming tokens. Each determined winner proceeds to a subsequent round of matches in the schedule, and the method identifies a winner of a final round match of the schedule as a winner of the lottery tournament.

Abstract: A profiling system for establishing communication between a plurality of parties (20A, 20B) is disclosed. The profiling system includes a server (12) connected to a communications network (50). The server (12) includes a database (14) for storing user profiles, wherein each of said plurality of parties (20A, 20B) has an associated user profile and each profile includes a calling identity. The server also includes a processor (15) for processing data contained in said user profiles to determine a match between at least two of said plurality of parties (20A, 20B) in accordance with predetermined criteria. The server further includes and a call handling module (16) for initiating a call in the communications network (50) to at least two of the marching parties (20A, 20B) to establish communication between the matching parties (20A, 20B) without presenting the calling identity associated with a user to any other party.
