Abstract: A method of generating a result of a racing game having a plurality of participants to enable fixed odds betting on the racing game. The result of the racing game is generated from the result of an identifier selection game. The method comprises allocating unique subsets of a set of identifiers used in the identifier selection game to each of the plurality of participants, defining a ranking of said participants from highest to lowest, running said identifier selection game by randomly selecting a result subset of identifiers from the set of identifiers, and determining first place in said race by determining which of said plurality of participants has the most identifiers of said result subset in the participant's allocated subset, and if two or more participants have the same number of identifiers in their respective allocated subsets, determining first place by determining which of the two or more participants is ranked highest.

Abstract: Methods and software are disclosed for allocating a jackpot award in a keno game. A win value is randomly established between pre-determined limits. Bets on the outcome of the keno game are taken optionally in chronological order. A percentage of each qualified bet is contributed to a jackpot pool. In one embodiment, a qualified bet is selected at random when the contributions cause the pool to equal or exceed the win value. The owner of the selected bet is allocated the win value. In the alternative, a bet whose contribution causes the accumulating pool to equal or exceed the win value results in the owner of the bet to be allocated the win value, regardless of the outcome of the keno game.
