  • Patent number: 6669560
    Abstract: Device for manufacturing game pieces and generating movement sequences to be used in a game of chance with a predetermined number of winners. The device includes a printing machine, a computer processor, readable and writeable memory means incorporating a plurality of registers, and a plurality of communication-links. The printing machine prints a start column, an end column, a number of parts, each part comprising a director area, and director patterns on each game piece. The computer processor is configured to obtain game piece manufacturing data incorporating numbers representing maximum vertical differences between the start and end positions of each part. Also, the processor generates one list of director areas for each part, the director areas comprising a director pattern, and sorts the lists so that director patterns resulting in small vertical differences between the start and end positions of each part are arranged to be placed first.

  • Patent number: 6659865
    Abstract: The invention relates to an interactive gaming device (100) which contains information concerning whether the device can be made to award a prize or not. The device includes modules (1,2,3,4,5,10,20,30,40,50,60,70) for interaction with a user, and is provided with information unknown to the user concerning how a user is to interact with the device (100) in order for a device which can award a prize to award a prize. This information can relate to whether the device is a winner or not in a lottery. The modules of interaction with a user can comprise a control unit (70), sensors (1,2,3,4,5) for detecting at least one of the parameters sound, light, temperature, touch, atmospheric pressure and movement of the device, and in addition modules (10,20,30,40,50) for example light emitting diodes, of indicating correct interaction with the device with regard to each one of the parameters which the device is equipped with sensors to detect.
