DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a processing system for gambling games.
In the present description and the appended claims, the following terms have the indicated meanings:
Game: the activity in the form of a contract which consists in the forecasting of a future event, whether this event be purely aleatory (for example a lottery) or non aleatory (for example forecasting the outcome of a sports event).
Gambler: the partner of the Gaming Firm in this contract.
Bet: the choice made by the gambler in the contract on the content of the future event.
Price: the sum to be paid by the gambler as stake or wager for this bet in the game, this price depending on, among other things, the game, the bet, the repetition of the bet, etc.
Drawing: the contents of the future event the forecasting of which by a gambler allows him to win at least a part of a stake.
Result: the partial or total coincidence between the bet and the content of the future event.
Winnings: that which is won by the gambler at the end of the contract, depending on the result.
Recording: the official taking into account of the bet of the gambler by the Gaming Firm.
At the present time, whether it concerns the composition of the bet by the gambler or its recording by the Gaming Firm, the operations are essentially manual and require considerable handling of receipts or other documents. Apart from the fact that these operations are fastidious, they are the source of many errors owing to human intervention which is exclusively manual. Further, for each bet, there exists a copy of the betting slip which must be sent to the premises of the Gaming Firm and which presents problems of transport, space and processing.
An object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a processing system for gambling games which permits the processing of the bets in a simple, rapid and reliable manner.
For this purpose, the system according to the invention is characterised in that it comprises the combination of information support including a memory zone which is capable of being erased and written into.
The system may advantageously include means for composing the drawing and for comparing the latter with the bet so as to provide the result, in particular by display means.
According to another characteristic, the system according to the invention is characterised in that, for the recording of the bet, it comprises: means for reading data carried by the bet support; fifth means for recording on the support already carrying the first data constituting the bet, second codification data representing the conditions of the recording of the bet, for example the place and the date; sixth means for storing the second data; seventh means for storing the bet data carried by the support; and eighth means for recording the first and second data on a recording support.
The system may comprise means for checking the exactness of the codification data carried by the bet support prior to any processing of bet data.
Pre-payment means may be provided which are adapted to actuate the bet recording means when the price of the bet has been paid.
The system may comprise means for checking that the recording has been correctly effected; it may also include means for delivering a voucher, for example a receipt, this voucher being independent of the bet support; advantageously, the means for checking the recording actuates the means delivering the voucher.
Means for checking unitary data constituting the bet may be provided for ascertaining that this data belong to a library. Similar checking means may also be provided for ensuring that all of the data constituting the bet is correct.
Advantageously, means may be provided for partially or totally erasing the data constituting the bet before the latter has been recorded.
The system may also include manual control and processing means for ascribing to the bet parameters outside its content (subscription, repetition of the same bet, etc.) and memory means for storing said parameters.
The system comprises advantageously means for reading a
