Patent number: 11676457Abstract: An electronic game machine comprises a display, an interface device for receiving input from a human player and a controller. The controller, responsive to initiation of a machine implemented game, prompts the human player to select to play a first player state or a second player state. The controller receives in response to the prompt, an input from the human player through the interface device whereby the human player chooses the first player state or the second player state. The first player state enables the human player to select at least one of at least two predefined selections responsive to a game state and the second player state defines the response of the humane player according to predetermined rules.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: BRAIN GAMES, L.C.Inventor: Hugh Sconyers
