Abstract: A method for adapting a game of bingo to a lottery, includes predetermining a plurality of bingo faces to achieve a desired liability profile. One or more of the plurality of bingo faces are distributed. Random call numbers are generated until a desired pattern is achieved on one or more of the distributed bingo faces.

Abstract: A lottery system graphically portraying a lottery result in animation is provided. The lottery system includes a game generator which comprises a random number generator and an animation drawing subsystem. The random number generator randomly selects a lottery result at a predetermined time. The animation drawing subsystem selects one or more game events associated with the randomly selected lottery result, and compiles into an animated lottery game video one or more animation sequences corresponding to the selected game events.

Abstract: A system for conducting a lottery draw, the system including: (a) a database of pre-recorded video files of one or more humans, (b) a lottery number drawing means for randomly selecting one or more lottery numbers to determine one or more winning numbers for a game draw, and (c) display means for displaying one or more of the video files from the database based upon either (1) a predetermined characteristic of the game draw or (2) a number which is selected by the drawing means.

Abstract: A lottery bingo system graphically portraying an animated bingo game is provided. The lottery system includes a bingo game generator which comprises an animation drawing subsystem. The animation drawing subsystem retrieves bingo call video segments corresponding to a sequence of drawn bingo numbers randomly drawn for a bingo game after dispensing of bingo tickets for the bingo game is ended, and compiles the bingo call video segments into a bingo game video.

Abstract: A computerized lottery or wagering system includes a game generator and a plurality of vendor stations that permit players to select game parameters. The game is graphically portrayed in animation as one or more races (horse race, dog race, car race, motorcycle race, etc.). The game may entail win, place, show, quinella, exacta/perfecta, trifecta, or series bets. At a predetermined time for each game, selection of game parameters for that game is ended and a winning sequence of numbers is randomly generated. The game generator selects and seamlessly composes a plurality of video segments into an animated video sequence of the race(s) corresponding to the winning sequence of numbers, for broadcast via RF transmission, microwave transmission, fiber optic cabling or closed circuit television lines. The video segments are rendered directly to a compressed digital format to maintain the video image in the highest quality possible.

Abstract: A computerized lottery (or wagering) system that permits players to select game parameters from remote locations, transfers the selected parameters to a game generator and broadcasts the lottery game on television for public viewing. The broadcasted game may be a race and the game parameters are numbers associated with the participants in the race. Examples of the games contemplated include horse races, dog races, car races and motorcycle races. At a predefined time of day, selection of the game parameters is ended and the game is then broadcast on television so that the players can watch the game and root for their selections. In addition, the system of the present invention determines which players are eligible for a grand prize pool and after the broadcast of the game announces the grand prize winner.
