Systems and methods for sharing wagering game licenses among multi- state terminals are provided. Each example terminal may include a token-enabled state and a non-token- enabled state. Each token may be associated with a license for the operation of a wagering game. A token pool may be administered by a host. A terminal at which a customer has indicated a desire to play a wagering game may request a token from the token pool administrating host. The request may be queued if a token is not available, or the requesting terminal may be issued a token. Thus, an unlimited number of multi-state terminals may be operated, while no more than a predetermined quantity of the terminals may be providing a wagering game at any one time.

System and method for processing form markings, and, in particular, playslip markings. An area-array image sensor may sense an image of a form that is in free-space, and a processor may interpret a marking in the image. Said markings may be selected from barcodes, orientation marks, machine-printed or hand-written alpha-numeric characters. Said system and said method may be employed in a lottery terminal.

A system including a gaming terminal (14). The gaming terminal (14) includes a housing, a processor (26) attached to the housing, a display (20) attached to the housing and operatively coupled to the processor (26), an interface attached to the housing and operatively coupled to the processor (26), the interface being adapted to convey data related to a game to the processor (26), and a write/erase device (29). The write/erase device (29) is attached to the housing and operatively coupled to the processor (26), the write/erase device (29) providing an opening for receiving an object and including a heating apparatus that is adapted to heat portions of a received object to a first temperature to erase gaming information stored on the object and that is responsive to signals received from the processor (26) to selectively heat portions of a received object to a second temperature lower than the first temperature to store gaming information received from the processor (26).

A system and method for determining whether wager data for players' wagers placed on a drawing game have been altered after winning game elements are drawn includes a host computer (30) and a verification device (40). The host computer (30) stores the wager data and generates a first hash value for the wager data at a time prior to drawing the winning game elements. The host computer (30) is capable of generating a second hash value for the wager data at a time subsequent to drawing the winning game elements for comparison to the first hash value. The verification device (40) receives the first hash value for the wager data prior to drawing the winning game elements and receives the winning game elements.
摘要:
An interactive media response processing system having a plurality of components logically distributed and employing non-relational databases is disclosed, where the response processing system receives interactive response requests from subscribers through set top boxes or other access devices and can process the responses in real time, to provide real time feedback to content producers. The system includes one or more collectors operably connected to one or more aggregators for collecting and aggregating interactive response information, and at least one communications message server connected to each network of subscribers. The communications message server normalizes the responses for each network for transmission to the collectors and aggregators. This system enables subscribers to participate in interactive broadcasts and view response replies in the form of updated interactive content in real time on their television screens or other displays.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a platform-independent execution environment for executing embedded instructions. In one example, the instructions may be embedded in an active barcode format. In this embodiment a barcode encoded with an instruction may be read. A machine executable instruction may be generated based on the read barcode using a virtual machine. The machine executable instruction may be executed using the virtual machine.

Systems, architectures and methods of processing messages provide for automatic generation of source code in a program language. The source code is compiled and used to transform messages between the program language and an online transaction processing (OLTP) language. In one approach, markup language documents are compiled.

An electronic payment system and method facilitates electronic commerce through controlled transfer of identification and value representations to wireless devices. The system (10) includes a payment collection apparatus (20) and a transaction apparatus (50), and provides for representation of user and transaction information via machine-readable indicia. In one embodiment, the machine-readable indicia is a barcode. The present invention is useful in such example applications as credit transactions, lottery system operations, and mobile top up applications.
