Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1104686A1] The present invention relates to methods and systems for playing games and lottery that involve making bets on information elements from a predetermined games set. This invention essentially involves creating a game set comprising N>1 information elements by creating a set of N non-repetitive information codes in a computer memory and by distributing among the players using communication channels a plurality of signals containing information about the elements of the game set. Each participant makes a bet by selecting one of the elements in the game set. Feedback communication channels are used for transmitting signals for identifying the players and containing information about the bets. The method further involves generating data on the payment of the bets and on the drawing process thereof during the various rounds. The signals comprising information on the bets are recorded in a sequence which remains secret to the players until the round is over and which used for transmitting them through the feedback communication channels. The drawing of the bets is made according to an iteration analytical method which remains secret to the players until the round is over and which for performing a quantitative distribution of the bets according to the elements of the game set. Each iteration is correlated with a sequential signal from the sequence of recorded signals comprising the information code of an element in the game set which is selected by a player as a bet. The method further involves determining the quantity of signals correlated with the information code of each element in the game set during a given round, and checking the observation of the bet drawing conditions. If these conditions are respected, the bets can then be drawn. <IMAGE>
