ABSTRACT:
A computer gambling game is disclosed herein. The computer gambling game includes a computer program to provide a plurality of sequences of game states, each leading to a game outcome. A game seed is required by the computer program to generate one of the sequences of game states. Each game seed corresponds to one of the sequences of game states. The program can be acquired in the form of a computer-readable medium, such as a CD-ROM. To play the computer game, a player must also acquire an initiator code that can either be printed on an instant play lottery ticket or distributed via a computer network. The initiator code corresponds to one of the game seeds. The computer program uses a look-up table to retrieve the game seed that corresponds to the initiator code and to provide the corresponding sequence of game states that will lead to the outcome. Some outcomes lead to gains.
