The gaming positions are associated with a computer network including a computing engine having a memory for receiving inputs from the gaming positions and at least one output for communicating information to the players. At least one paytable is stored in that memory or in another memory associated with the computer network. The paytable can be configured by an operator and has a plurality of possible winning entries and wins associated with the winning entries. A selection generator is triggered at least once, via the computer network, by a trigger input generated in response to the playing of each game of a group of selected games to generate a selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2004Publication date: November 18, 2004Applicant: Grips Electronic Ges. m.b.H.Inventors: Ewald Mothwurf, Peter Lang, Franz Lechner, Dominik Berger

Publication number: 20040159590Abstract: A method for determining the total amount bet by individual players participating in multiple spins of a roulette game at a gaming table that has a chipper machine and an intelligent table terminal. The method involves interfacing the chipper sorting machine with the table terminal, allocating a chip to a patron at the terminal, counting the number of color chips sorted by the chipper machine per color, and associating the number of color chips sorted by the machine per color with the patron. The total amount bet by that patron is then determined by mathematically linking the chip value of the color chip of the patron with the number of chips of the individual color sorted by the chipper machine in the time period in which the color chip is associated with that patron.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2004Publication date: August 19, 2004Applicant: Grips Electronics Ges. m.b.H.Inventor: Ewald Mothwurf
