Patent number: 9811977Abstract: A method and system for operating a wagering event includes one to four outcomes on random number correspondence to numbers in a four by four array of predefined numbers. To win any wager, an active random number must appear in a preselected corner frame. The method may be an independent game or may be a side bet/wager in a keno game. Separate wagers may be placed on the one to four outcomes, with progressive correspondence of random numbers to the four by four array of predefined numbers, winning outcomes on any wager are dependent upon sequences of correspondence of the predefined numbers, especially in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal order. Use of an electronic gaming machine with a touchscreen facilitates the method and simplifies the system. It is preferred that the numbers in the array are printed onto a paper or other material sheet.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Inventors: Andres Gonzalez-Roa, Mark L.
