  • Publication number: 20140323196
    Abstract: A game of chance played between a plurality of players, which ensures there can be only one winner. Each player is associated with a set of indicators, and a winner is determined if a set of indicators associated with a player matches a unique set of indicators randomly selected from a pool of possible indicators. For a pool of a given size, the game calculates the unique combinations of a smaller number of indicators that can be generated from the pool. Each player is associated with one or more unique combinations, but each unique combination is associated with one and only one player. Indicators are randomly selected from the pool until all of the indicators in a first unique combination have been selected. The player associated with the first unique combination is the single winner of the game.

    Abstract: A video flare system for use with manual lottery games includes a programmable computer system having game information stored therein which includes a list of predetermined winning lottery game combinations with predetermined monetary value corresponding to the manual lottery game. A video display monitor and an information input device are connected to the computer system. The computer system displays the list of predetermined winning lottery game combinations on the video display monitor and the list of predetermined winning lottery game combinations on the input device. The input device receives input from the authorized user upon one of the predetermined winning lottery combinations being obtained by a player and the computer system then processes the data to update the list of predetermined winning lottery game combinations displayed on the video display monitor by preventing display of the selected predetermined winning lottery game combination which was redeemed.
