Abstract

A method includes storing game record groups at a game server (115) adapted to communicate with a number of gaming sites (107,108). The game server (115) communicates two or more of the game record groups to a site controller (200) associated with one of the gaming sites (107, 108), and the site controller (200) stores those game record groups. The site controller (200) selects one of the stored game record groups in response to a game availability request associated with a respective game, and communicates the selected game record group from the site controller (200) to a player station services controller (210) associated with the gaming site. The player station services controller (210) stores that respective game record group and communicates data from a respective game record to a player station (205) in response to a game play request from the player station (205), thereby allowing the player station (205) to present a player with a lottery game result for the game play request.
