Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling secure automated production and redemption of predetermined games of chance with multiple play venues or dimensions, wherein such systems and methods can provide, for example, lottery games (e.g., instant tickets), charitable gaming (e.g., raffles, pull-tabs), casino environments (e.g., “Class II” gaming), Internet gaming (e.g., poker, online instant tickets), etc.
Claims17
A method for generating predetermined game outcomes, the method comprising:
- providing a two-dimensional database storing a plurality of different art indicia in a first dimension of the database and a plurality of different rotational positions of each of the plurality of different art indicia in a second dimension of the database;
- using a Genesis Seed to:
- select one of the plurality of different art indicia from the first dimension of the database, and
- select one of the plurality of different rotational positions of the selected art indicium from the second dimension of the database;
- and
- causing the selected rotational position of the selected art indicium to be saved in a non-volatile memory device.
A method for generating predetermined game outcomes, the method comprising:
- providing a two-dimensional database storing a plurality of different art indicia in a first dimension of the database and a plurality of different mirrored orientations of each of the plurality of different art indicia in a second dimension of the database;
- using a Genesis Seed to:
- select one of the plurality of different art indicum from the first dimension of the database, and
- select one of the mirrored orientations of the selected first art indicium from the second dimension of the database;
- and
- causing the selected mirrored orientation of the selected art indicium to be saved in a non-volatile memory device.
