ABSTRACT:
In conjunction with the play of the game of Keno, a combination ticket holder and transmitter-receiver is located at each player's table. Each player's transmitter is coded with a number (e.g., 60,000) of two-tone sequential codes which are transmitted to Keno runners preassigned to specific tables and to a game controller in the Keno lounge. Each player's receiver displays 80 LED digits, numbered 1-80, or other indicatable symbols, and preferably is a super hetradine narrow band receiver to minimize interference from adjacent and co-channel users. Signals are converted from analog to digital when the symbol indicators are connected, and remain displayed until reset for the next game. Each runner has a portable unit with a receiver also which has indicators numbered to identify the players and which preferably also is a super hetradine, dual tone, sequentially coded unit. It converts the tones generated by the player's transmitter into the appropriate display enabling the runner to identify the table requesting assistance. The game controller's console has two receivers. One is identical to that of the player to allow the controller to monitor and verify the game scores. The other receiver is identical to that of the runner and displays all table numbers of all runners. The controller utilizes two transmitters. A first transmitter, identical to that of the player with coding numbering the same quantity of runner boards, enables the controller to request a Keno runner to his location in the same fashion as the player. The second transmitter has encoding compatible to the player's receiver for transmissions of the game scores, game number, status of game or any other required information.
