摘要： A wagering system for random drawing lotteries has a central data processor managing acceptance of player entries and payout authorization. Remote agent terminals receive player entry data from players and process authorized payouts. Portable agent data modules having an on-board memory and security provisions are issued to the agents and carry data in both directions between the central data processor and the terminals. Preferably the agent modules are integrated circuit cards or "smartcards". Available player entries are downloaded from the central data processor to the agent data modules, stored on the agent data modules for transport to the agent data terminals, and uploaded under security protection to the agent data terminals when processing a wager. The agent data modules record assignment of the available player entries to players for reporting to the central processor and can obtain payout authorizations or credits. Player entries can be dispensed from the agent data terminals without a need for contemporaneous communication with the central data processor, with protection of security aspects included in the agent data modules. The invention is applicable to verified wager lotteries, instant games and immediate payout number matching games, and is also useful for transferring invoicing and promotional information, etc., using the smartcard as the transfer media.

摘要翻译： 随机抽奖彩票的投注系统有一个中央数据处理器管理玩家入场和支付授权的接受。 远程代理终端从播放器接收播放器输入数据并处理授权支付。 具有板载存储器和安全规定的便携式代理数据模块被发布给代理并且在中央数据处理器和终端之间的两个方向上携带数据。 优选地，代理模块是集成电路卡或“智能卡”。 可用播放器条目从中央数据处理器下载到代理数据模块，存储在代理数据模块上以传输到代理数据终端，并在处理下注时在安全保护下上传到代理数据终端。 代理数据模块将可用播放器条目的分配记录到播放器以向中央处理器报告，并且可以获得支付授权或信用。 播放器条目可以从代理数据终端分配，而不需要与中央数据处理器的同时通信，同时保护代理数据模块中包括的安全方面。 本发明适用于已验证的投注彩票，即时游戏和即时支付数字匹配游戏，并且也可用于使用智能卡作为转移媒体来转帐发票和促销信息等。
