Abstract
Electrically operable garment closures for use with one at least items of clothing. The closures may be made to open in response to a plurality of signals including information related a game of chance, a card game or a board game. The closures may also respond to a mobile phone arranged for digitally imaging the item of clothing. The phone is preferably arranged to process the imaged information for displaying the relative location of the closures on a touch responsive display.
