ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method but particularly a system for the play of a game lying between a common-draw live game and an instant game. Furthermore, the same method and system may profit of the down time reserved to the sale of tickets in a live game. Accordingly, the basic embodiment of this system includes: a) a draw storage medium registering draw information; b) a period controller signaling start- and end-distribution periods with no change of draw information available during one distribution period; c) a distribution module providing tickets to players upon request; d) a game controller providing the requisite Graphical User Interface (GUI) for playing the game; switching to a play mode in response to a start-distribution period signal; receiving player's inputs; providing game outputs including ticket and draw representations; and switching to an idle mode in response to an end-distribution period signal; and e) a ticket evaluation module comparing ticket information to draw information in order to determine the ticket value.
