Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling multiple players to participate in an online game in a landbased gaming terminal. Each player is associated with a color or a pattern, by selecting the color or pattern using for example buttons on the screen. The player deposits money, places a wager, and chooses a number or color to bet on using his or her unique color. Once the game is activated, the terminal determines for each player his or her balance and winning according to the result of the game. Each player can individually cash his or her balance, or all players can cash their balances at once.
