| abstract | ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An automatic gaming system for games of chance, such as BINGO or the like, is disclosed comprising a system base station, a plurality of electronic gaming boards, and a plurality of validation units. The electronic gaming boards are initialized by the system base station with a complex gaming schedule developed by the system operator. The system base station includes an interactive program means to create a complex gaming schedule having completely arbitrary win patterns, multiple levels of payouts, and multiple place win combinations. The system base station further loads each gaming card with data representing a variable time interval which causes all of the boards to enter the play mode at the same time. The validation units are initialized by the system base station with a validation code which is used when checking a win claim of an electronic card. The validation units store audit information gained during the the validation of win claims and upload that stored information to the system base station at the end of a gaming session. The system base station further includes a program to command the electronic gaming boards and validation units to turn off or on. The invention further discloses an electronic gaming system for playing games. The system includes a system base station and a plurality of electronic gaming boards. The system base station downloads game instructions, a game schedule, and game card arrays into the gaming boards. These game card arrays are stored in the system base station as a gaming card library. The game schedule stores symbols which are to be matched with randomly generated symbols, particularly where the symbols are numbers and the pattern is a plurality of elements of a 5 x 5 array. The system base station retains auditing information about the distributed gaming cards; thus, the base station instantly confirms matches between the randomly-called numbers and those on a winning card, and at the same time verifies that such a card was indeed sold. The system base station receives information and performs supervisory functions such as distributing the game cards, storing the distributed game cards in memory, validating potentially winning cards, calculating card cost, calculating prize money for each session, and processing and reporting cumulative audit records stemming from the entire gaming session. The system base station has a number of modes by which an operator performs various functions for a gaming session as either the manager of the gaming session, the cashier of the gaming session, or the accountant of the gaming session. The accounting function produces a comprehensive audit record, including a profit/loss statement and a final cash-on-hand balance, for the entire gaming session. |
