Abstract: Methods and apparatus (systems) are set forth for enabling bingo (and similar games of chance, referred to hereinafter collectively as “bingo”) to be played in real time at locations which are remote (geographically separated in a physical sense) from the location where the numbers (or more generally symbols) used to play a bingo type of game are being selected. The disclosed methods and apparatus are directed to both passive and interactive systems which allow bingo to be played from the aforementioned remote locations.
