ABSTRACT:
An electronic gaming system for playing games. The electronic gaming 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.times.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.
