Abstract (en)
[origin: US2006094492A1] A system and method for providing remote instant type lottery games is provided. The instant type games are provided on a preprogrammed game cartridge for use on a portable gaming computer. The preprogrammed game cartridge is preloaded with one or more games before it is provided to the player. Each game includes a fixed number of plays and a preprogrammed amount of winnings. Each play contributes toward one or more predetermined outcomes, and some outcomes may be considered a winning. The preprogramming of the game cartridge may be done by preprogramming a cartridge memory in the game cartridge with the outcomes during manufacture of the cartridge, afterwards by a central computer or at a plurality of agent terminals where additional plays may be purchased and loaded into the cartridge. Outcomes, including winnings, may be stored on the cartridge memory and retrieved at one or more of the above computers or terminals.
