Definitions
- the invention relates generally to a lottery game, and more particularly to a lottery game in which the player selects a plurality of positions within a geometric figure and in which some of the positions in the figure are subsequently populated with indicia.
- a typical lottery game entails players selecting permutations or combinations of numbers. This is followed by a "draw,” wherein the lottery randomly selects a combination or permutation of numbered balls. Prizes are awarded based on the number of matches between a player's selection and the drawn numbers. The drawn numbers are then well-publicized, and large-jackpot lotteries are popular throughout the world.
- Lotteries have become an important source of income to governments as they shoulder much of the financial burden for education and other programs. However, as governments have grown more dependent on and increased the use of lotteries, it has become a challenge to sustain public interest therein and maintain the desired level of game participation.
- One approach to invigorating lottery sales is to expand game content beyond traditional combination/permutation games in the hope that the new games will help keep current players, as well as draw in new players.
- One method to enhance game play is to change game indicia from simple alphanumeric characters to other pictures and images. It is known to use pictures or other game indicia in the lottery game to create a unique prize structure.
- variable game indicia lotteries still rely upon a matching of game indicia and drawn indicia to determine a prize through the correspondent level of matching. [0008] Therefore, it would be advantageous to provide a lottery game that allows winning based upon more than simple number or symbol matching. Further, such lottery game should allow a variable prize structure that is greater than that permitted by It is thus to such an improved lottery game that the present invention is primarily directed.
- the present invention overcomes some of the deficiencies of the lottery games know in the art, and provides new lottery game content in three ways.
- Third, the indicia have point values associated with them so that the value of a player's ticket is determined by the total number of points associated with the indicia in the selected positions, in contrast to awarding prizes based only upon matching symbols.
- the invention thus comprises a lottery game in which the player may select a plurality of positions within a geometric figure. Some or all of the positions in the figure are subsequently populated with game indicia having point values.
- the game indicia are related but not limited to an identifiable brand that will appeal to players.
- the positions may be populated with the indicia either by the lottery system at the time the player's ticket is issued, or they may be populated with indicia as the result of a draw that is held at a predetermined time in which case the assignment of indicia to positions is common for all players.
- a player's prize is thus a function of the total number of points associated with the indicia in the positions selected by the player.
- the invention is a method for implementing a lottery game using a geometric figure having a plurality of selection spaces comprising the steps of allowing a player to select at least one selection space within the geometric figure, populating one more of the selection spaces with one or more game indicia, wherein each game indicia has a point value, and then awarding a prize based upon the total number of points associated with the game indicia in the player-selected selection spaces.
- the invention is a system for implementing a lottery game comprising at least one game server that implements the lottery game using a geometric figure having a plurality of selection spaces, and at least one dispensing terminal that allows a player to select at least one selection space within the geometric by the game server.
- the game server further populates one more of the selection spaces with one or more game indicia, with each game indicia having a point value, and the game server further awards a prize to the player based upon the total number of points associated with the game indicia in the player-selected selection spaces.
- the invention also includes a lottery game ticket including a geometric figure having a plurality of selection spaces that allows a player to select at least one selection space within the geometric figure, and allows one more of the selection spaces to be populated with one or more game indicia, with each game indicia having a point value.
- the lottery ticket allows a determination of a prize is based upon the total number of points associated with the game indicia in the player-selected selection spaces.
- Fig. 1 is an illustration of one embodiment of a lottery game bet slip of the present invention using a geometric figure.
- FIG. 2 is an illustration of one embodiment of a ticket for the lottery game entered by the bet slip of Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 depicts an exemplary prize table for the lottery game.
- Fig. 4 is an illustration of another embodiment of a lottery game bet slip of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is an illustration of another embodiment of a ticket for the lottery game entered by the bet slip of Fig. 4.
- Fig. 6 depicts a second exemplary prize table for the lottery game.
- Fig. 7 is a diagram of one embodiment of a game server in communication with a game terminal issuing tickets for the inventive lottery game.
- a bet slip 10 that displays a geometric figure that comprises a plurality of cells 12.
- the player marks a subset 14 of these cells to indicate his selection for the game and then submits the bet slip 10 along with an amount of money to an authorized lottery retailer, as known in the art, who will enter the information into a terminal (such as game terminal 54 in Fig. 7) contee'bt ' o ⁇ Niiyy ⁇ -yihi ⁇ iyyistem.
- the lottery may offer self-serve kiosks where the player may indicate his selections, either with a bet slip 10 or touch ⁇ screen technology if provided by the kiosk, and submit the money though a bill collector on the machine, as is known in the art.
- the lottery system After the lottery system accepts the wager, it prints a ticket 20 (Fig. 2) indicating the player's selection.
- the lottery may also print indicia on the ticket.
- Each indicium has a point value associated therewith.
- the player adds the points associated with the indicia that appear in the selected cells and compares the point total to a prize table that indicates what prize, if any, corresponds to that point value. If the point value on the ticket does correspond to a prize, the player submits the ticket to a retailer or to a self-service kiosk for ticket validation and prize payment.
- the ticket displays the player's selection but does not indicate the placement of the indicia in the geometric figure.
- a drawing is held after sales are discontinued, the drawing comprising a selection of cells, without replacement, for each indicium in the set of indicia.
- the point value of the player's ticket can then be determined and the ticket validated as described above.
- a sample embodiment of this invention is described as follows. The player chooses five positions from a 5 x 5 square grid 12 using a bet slip 10 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
- the indicia for this embodiment comprise images from the arcade game Pac- Man®.
- Figure 2 shows as a sample ticket for this embodiment in which the player's selected cells contain one Pac-Man® 28, two pairs of cherries 29 and one ghost 27, with one missed space 26.
- the player's ticket 20 has therefore earned a total of three points.
- Figure 3 shows a prize table for this embodiment of the lottery game. After the players determine the point value of their ticket, they may use the prize table to detlfrSeff fhff ffiW'wiWy ⁇ iPand, if so, the magnitude of the prize. In this example, the player has won $1.
- the lottery system may randomly select and populate the positions (typically via a randomized algorithm or a drawing) or it may use the method of reverse mapping, i.e. it may randomly determine the number of points that the player will earn first and then assign the indicia to the positions so as to effect a ticket that has the selected point value.
- Other methods as known in the art to automatically populate the indicia in a "quick pick" manner can be used herein.
- the odds shown in the table in Fig. 3 assume the former method.
- the odds must be calculated so that the lottery can determined its expected prize liability and players can understand their chances of winning.
- the following example shows how the odds may be computed in the case where indicia are randomly assigned to positions.
- the player's selected positions contain two Pac-Man® symbols 28, two pairs of cherries 29, zero ghosts 27 and one blank space or b) the player's selected positions contain one Pac-Man® symbol 28, four pairs of cherries 29, zero ghosts 27 and zero blank spaces.
- the probability of each case can be computed as follows:
- the total probability of earning six points is 0.001957, or approximately 1 in 510.9.
- the foregoing sample embodiment is for a stand-alone lottery game.
- the invention may also be embodied as an "extension game.” Specifically, the game may be offered for sale only in combination with another lottery game, referred to here as the "base game.”
- the prize table may include multiplier values as prizes. When a player wins a multiplier prize, say, for example 3X, one or more prizes that he wins in the base game may be multiplied by the multiplier value.
- the prize table may include multiplier values as prizes.
- a multiplier prize say, for example 3X
- one or more prizes that he wins in the base game may be multiplied by the multiplier value.
- the present invention may be embodied as an extension game, that is, a lottery game that can only be played in conjunction with another lottery game, referred to as the "base game.”
- the prizes available to the player may include a multiplier value that multiplies one or more prizes that the player may have won in the base game.
- Extension games with multipliers as prizes are known in the art.
- Fig. 4 shows a bet slip 30 for an embodiment of the present invention as an extension game.
- the upper part 34 of the is filled out by the player as are the known lottery bet slips common within the art.
- the lower part 32 of the bet slip 30, however, is filled out in the same manner as the bet slip 10 shown in Fig. 1.
- the player submits the bet slip 30 along with an amount of money to cover wagers in both the base game and the extension game, using the methods described in the previous example.
- the lottery system accepts the wager and issues a ticket 40.
- Fig. 5 shows a ticket 40 for this embodiment, in the case where the lottery's placement of indicia in the geometric figure 42 occurs at the time of purchase.
- the invention may also be embodied as an extension game where the indicia are assigned positions in the figure during a draw.
- Fig. 7 is a diagram of one embodiment of a game server 52 in communication with a game terminal 54 across a network 56 issuing tickets for the inventive lottery game.
- the system 50 for implementing a lottery game includes at least one game server 52 that implements a lottery game using a geometric figure 12 having a plurality of selection spaces. At least one dispensing terminal 52 that allows a player to select at least one selection space within the geometric figure 12 of the lottery game implemented by the game server 52.
- the game server 52 populates one more of the selection spaces with one or more game indicia (27,28,29), wherein each game indicia having a point value, and the game server 52 further awards a prize to the player based upon the total number of points associated with the game indicia in the selected selection spaces.
- the game terminal 54 can further providing a player a ticket having a printed matrix of selection spaces, such as bet slip 10 such that the player can select one or more selection spaces on the printed matrix of selection spaces.
- the game terminal 54 can also further print a ticket 20 showing the selection spaces populated with game indicia.
- the game server 52 can populate one or more of the selection spaces with one or more game indicia with issuance of the ticket 20, or can populates one or more of the selection spaces with one or more game indicia as the result of a draw or other random picking that is held at a predetermined time. Further, the game server can implements a second lottery game played simultaneously with the steps for implementing the lottery game using a geometric figure, such as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
- the invention may be embodied in a variety of ways by varying the geometric figures, the plurality of positions within the figure, the plurality of positions selected by the player, the symbols, the plurality of symbols, the plurality of instances of each symbol, the assignment of point values to the symbols, and the prize table.
