Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010043256A1] According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of implementing a virtual scratch-card game. The method comprises, at a virtual scratch-card sever 6, selecting a plurality of symbol identifiers that are associated with respective symbols, individually encrypting each of the selected symbol identifiers, and sending the encrypted symbol identifiers to a virtual scratch-card client 7. At the virtual scratch-card client 7, displaying a representation of a virtual scratch-card to a user and, in response to selection of an encrypted symbol identifier by the user, identifying the selected encrypted symbol identifier to the virtual scratch-card server 6. At the virtual scratch-card serve 6r, determining verification information associated with the selected encrypted symbol identifier, and sending the verification information to the virtual scratch-card client 7. At the virtual scratch-card client 7, using the verification information to verify that the selected encrypted symbol identifier results from the encryption of the corresponding symbol identifier initially selected by the virtual scratch-card server 6.
