    摘要: A method includes issuing a physical bingo card (601). This physical bingo card (601) is associated with a layout of spots or locations and bingo designations representing a bingo card or 'card bingo structure (605, 606).' The method also includes identifying the card bingo structure (605, 606) through a player station (103) and collecting a game play request entered from the player station (103) with at least one additional game play request to form a game group. The game play request is associated with the card bingo structure (605, 606) and each additional game play request in the game group is associated with a respective additional bingo structure. Once the game group is formed, a bingo game may be conducted between the card bingo structure (605, 606) and each additional bingo structure to identify a bingo game result for the card bingo structure and preferably each additional bingo structure. The bingo game result for the card bingo structure (605, 606) is then displayed at the player station (103).

    摘要: Game play requests in a bingo gaming system (100) are associated with different play characteristic classes and collected into different game play groups simultaneously according to play characteristic class. Once a sufficient number of game play requests are collected in a respective game play group, a bingo game is conducted with the respective game play group and results are returned to the players associated with that game play group. Play characteristic class may be defined on the basis of the speed at which players take any required actions to claim results in a game so that players who may take the required actions relatively slowly will not be grouped for games with players who may take the required actions relatively quickly.

    摘要: A method for conducting bingo games includes using a server (101) to collect game play requests (501) from a plurality of electronic player stations (103). The server (101, 102) determines if a group of the collected game play requests meets one or more predefined conditions for establishing a quorum (502), and if so conducts a game with the group of game play requests (506, 507). Even after the game is started, the server continues to collect game 10 play requests in preparation for conducting additional games (506, 500). When enough game play requests are collected (503), the server starts the next game, even if previous games are still in progress (506, 507). Each game play request is associated with a bingo card representation (1201) and each such card representation is associated with a respective pay table. Prizes or outcomes (1501, 1601) of the game are assigned for each bingo card representation according to the respective pay table with which the card representation is associated.
