Abstract
A method of administering a game in a wireless embodiment utilizing multiple transmitters connected to a game server and base station controller is disclosed. The method comprises generating game state data describing game state in a bingo game; passing the game state data to each transmitter in a plurality of transmitters; and transmitting from transmitters in the plurality in sequence the game state signal to a wireless receiver, wherein the game state data are transmitted repeatedly.
Claims59
A method for operating an electronic game in a wireless system, comprising:
- generating a game state data message describing game state;
- passing the game state data message to a plurality of transmitters;
- and
- transmitting in sequence from transmitters in the plurality the game state message to a wireless receiver, wherein the game state data message is transmitted repeatedly.
A system for operating a game in a wireless environment wherein a plurality of transmitters transmit game state data and each transmitter is configured to transmit the same game state data in sequence with at least one other transmitter until an event in the game triggers a change in game state, at which time an updated game state signal is transmitted by each transmitter in sequence with at least one other transmitter, the system comprising:
- a server, the server generating game state data;
- a base station controller, the base station controller in communication with the server;
- a plurality of transmitters, the transmitters in communication with the base station controller, the base station controller sending the game state data to the transmitters and synchronizing transmission by the transmitters, the transmitters located such at least two transmitters have overlapping transmission areas.
