摘要： A system for using trading cards interactively through an electronic network, such as the Internet, combines uniquely identified trading cards with specially designed electronic services. Each trading card, which designates a game player, such as a sports talent, has associated therewith a unique identifier of alphanumeric characters. The game playing rights to a subset of these trading cards is sold to a plurality of card collectors, the game players designated by the cards of each subset forming a game playing “team” to be managed by the respective card collector. The collector registers selected ones of the cards from his/her subset of cards with a game service provider, thus placing the game players designated by the selected cards “in play”. Thereafter, the game service provider determines current information about each game player in play and advances the status of the game between the collectors whose game players are in play in accordance with the current information and in accordance with the rules of the game. The collectors can change the selected ones of the cards which are registered with the game service provider in an attempt to improve their chances of winning a game.

摘要： A cashless gaming apparatus and method suitable for casinos. A player hands over money and an ID card to a clerk at a validation terminal. The clerk stores the ID number and the amount of money in the memory of the validation terminal. Then the clerk returns the ID card to the player for operating any one of a number of game terminals. The player then selects a game terminal which reads the player's ID card, whereupon the cash amount from the validation terminal is downloaded to the selected game terminal and the game terminal can then be played. If the player wishes to play another game terminal, the player actuates a cashout switch on the current terminal. The player then moves to another game terminal and the player's ID card is read into the second game terminal, whereupon the money remaining as a cash amount is downloaded to the second game terminal. The player can then play the second game terminal. When the player wishes to stop play of the game terminals completely, the player actuates the cashout switch of the last game terminal played. The player presents his ID card to the clerk at the validation terminal and the validation terminal reads the ID card. A ticket showing the card number and the cash amount is printed and the player is paid the cash amount on the spot. The printed ticket is then used for reconciliation.

摘要： A system for the application of a trading card metaphor to a disassociated computer program and the unique design of several hardware and software systems supports and enhances collecting, trading, game playing, and creating of digital electronic trading cards by taking the traditional trading card metaphor and uniquely updating and enhancing it for application in consumer digital media. An electronic hardware and software architecture for electronic trading cards (ETCs) has a number of components that function together as a system that support making electronic trading cards, trading electronic trading cards, activities (such as game playing) with electronic trading cards, and collecting electronic trading cards. The ETC format is embodied in the components of the electronic trading card system, which are designed to generate and accept a common proprietary electronic trading card format, so that, for example, a card created in a card-making application can be recognized by an electronic trading card album. The card format supports both scarcity and authenticity, which are essential to card collecting and trading, within a disassociated computer code segment.

摘要： A card game comprising a plurality of playing cards representing current U.S. political figures. Each playing card has a front surface and a back surface. The front surface displays a picture of a political figure accompanied by his/her name and job title. The back surface contains information about the political figure depicted on the front surface. Each playing card may also include information encoded thereon indicating the political ideology (Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, or the like) of the political figure depicted on the front surface. The encoded information is not immediately decipherable by the casual observer. The playing cards may be integrated into a game system via a looseleaf-type game binder divided into state sections representing the states of the United States. The game binder may include apparatus for revealing the encoded political ideology of each political figure when his/her playing card is placed therein. The game binder may also include apparatus for storing and organizing the playing cards. The object of the game is to build a "political consensus" by being the first player to possess a predetermined number of playing cards representing political figures all of whom share the same political ideology.

摘要： The system includes a control system (12) which carries out the performance of a video sports game, such as a baseball game, and controls the display on a video monitor (14). Input information concerning the performance of players in the game is supplied via trading card elements (20--20), each of the trading card elements having a conventional trading card appearance which includes a photograph of the player and performance data in human-readable form. The trading card element (20) also includes machine-readable performance information (input data) which is readable by a card reader (22) which applies the input data on the card to the control system (12), which then creates the two teams and carries out the game.

摘要： The present invention is directed to an apparatus and a method of game play for an electronic sequence matching game the may include a pair of elongated stick member that may be operatively coupled together by an electrical cord so the game play for the electronic matching game may be coordinated between the elongated stick members. During the electronic sequence matching game, the elongated stick members may illuminate different colored lights and generate corresponding sounds in particular sequences, and a player must manipulate the sticks to repeat the sequences generated by the elongated stick members. Depending on the mode of game play, the elongated stick members may repeat the sequence with an additional light being added to the sequence each time the player successfully matches the sequence, or the elongated stick members may generate a new sequence that may be longer or played faster than the previous sequence each time the player successfully matches a sequence. In a further mode, the player may be able to manipulate the elongated stick members in any desired sequence, with the player's manipulation of the elongated stick members causing the stick members to respond with lights and sounds of the music chosen by the player.

摘要： Methods and apparatus determine a value of an initial hand of playing cards, such as determining whether a dealer has the value of twenty-one, and/or outcome of a game at some point before the dealer receives a second card. The initial sequence may be read, optically, magnetically or wireless from identifiers on the playing cards, before the playing cards are loaded in a card shoe, while the playing cards reside in the card shoe, or as playing cards are removed from the card shoe. Alternatively, the initial sequence may correspond to a computationally generated sequence, such as a computationally pseudo-random sequence.
