Description

The invention relates to the entertainment game Teleloto, which allows any number of players to participate in it, which can be used in the entertainment industry when conducting lotteries, television or radio quiz games and other types of games with betting types.

Description of known technical solutions

Lotteries are very popular and interesting games, the meaning of which is usually that a player chooses a group of numbers (a bet) from a larger group of possible numbers, and after paying such a bet the players who guessed a certain number of numbers or all the numbers that fell out of the drawing , participate in the distribution of winnings.

As a disadvantage of well-known games such as a tote, it is necessary to point out that these types of games are usually held in bookmakers, casinos and similar establishments, that is, participants need to go to a certain place and place their bets there. Such games cannot be considered team or collective, since participants cannot play between themselves, that is, against each other, but play with casinos or bookmakers. In these games, the profits of the organizers are not recorded. It is practically unlimited and can reach 100% or even more. Profit depends on the results of the players themselves, which are often associated with biased or fraudulent distribution of data, facts, as well as with various frauds or manipulations.

From the patent number 2014108-C1, CI is known the game of lotto, based on the principle of the lottery. Before the start of the game, each participant must make their bets, registering with a specific number and / or additional digital and / or letter designation from the payment document, which has real coverage, and the nominal amount of payment for which is proportional to the bets made. In one of the variants of the game, each participant must register information about the mode of playing the game and the number and / or additional digital and / or letter designation of the payment document, the nominal amount of which is equal to 10% of the value of the bets made. The game is held according to the rules that allow the participant to double the amount of wagers made by the participant.

Another game is known from patent publication No. 94018736-A1-KI. This game is played with balls. For this game the body is used, filled with balls with different markings. The housing has a movable lower part that can rotate. There is a device for randomly selecting game elements - balls, which also allows periodically pulling the balls out of the body through a special hole in the wall of the body. The device for random selection has a spiral-shaped guide element and a rod, and the guide element is mounted coaxially on the movable lower element so that a randomly selected ball can be pushed out along a spiral-shaped guide element.

The disadvantage of this well-known game is the complex construction of the device, as well as the limited possibilities for achieving dynamics, a high degree of entertainment and a large set of combinations.

A well-known game is a tote, which is based on the principle that before the start of the game, each participant must make their bets and register their informational data. Winnings are determined during the subsequent draw, and the elongated numbers, which coincide with the bets made, determine the winning individual registration numbers, as well as the size of the won prize.

From US patent 5403999 known telecommunications system for the lottery. In particular, this patent discloses a method of using a public switch network to participate in a lottery game and obtain information about winnings using a telephone call. A possible implementation of the method according to this invention provides for the implementation of a lottery game, which is carried out as follows.

A potential participant dials the access code to the lottery and communicates with the toll call switching system to which the network services are connected. Thanks to the automatic identification of the number, the user's phone number is transmitted to the toll call switching system, which has a range of network services, including an ad system, through which the user receives instructions, as well as advertising messages paid for by sponsors. Further, the database is used to save data on user rights to participate in the lottery and to accumulate data on accounts. The participant enters his lottery bet using tone dialing signals (ΌΤΜΡ), which are generated using phone buttons or by voice, then the price data is entered and the corresponding amount is withdrawn from the participant’s account. After that, the control processor is activated, which generates a random lottery number, which is then compared with the lottery control number created when the lottery is selected. If these numbers are the same or almost the same, an entry is made immediately on the printing device and the participant is informed about the winnings by a message, and additional information, such as the name and / or address of the participant, is recorded by the operator.

The method described above for conducting a lottery game using the telephone network has the following disadvantages: the well-known lottery game can be assigned to the group of instant games on

- 1 006870 money, where the participant is immediately informed whether he won or not, thus leveling the attractiveness of the game. Such games do not have for the participants the excitement that arises while waiting for a result, and thus are less popular. Another element that affects the attractiveness of the game is the personal moment in the game, since only the participant receives a message about winning, and thus a large number of people, such as friends and relatives, cannot learn about his winning. At the same time, the game is played in such a way that the participants play in order to win some fixed prize, which also has a negative effect on the attractiveness of the game, because if you can win a smaller or bigger prize, then it is more interesting to play. Regarding the technical support of the lottery, it should be noted that the use of the same system for registering bets and determining the winners can be considered as a significant disadvantage, which significantly reduces the credibility of the game. In addition, this system has some requirements that significantly complicate the technical implementation of such a lottery in practice, namely the condition of having a credit card, automatic identification of the number, the need to search for or provide the first part of information, the second part of information.

Brief description of the invention

The aim of the invention is to create an entertainment game like Teleloto, which is distinguished by a well-developed structure and attractiveness of the game, which allows to make bets quickly, easily and conveniently, as well as to organize the game in different ways and in different variants so that it can be played with a large number of combinations and options. Thanks to this, the conditions of entertainment, attractiveness, convenience are created in complex, and each participant is given a chance to win a prize. Another object of the invention is to reduce or completely eliminate the personal interest of the organizers of the game in profits from specific participants due to the application of the principle of forming a prize as the amount of commission payments. In this case, the results of the game do not affect the size of the prize. Thus, the profit received by the organizers is fixed and is always equal to the predetermined percentage (%) of the total amount of bets made.

This goal is achieved through the game Teleloto, in which each participant communicates with the telephone system of toll calls through a communication device and enters registration data, while the computer digital system generates an individual registration number, which is then compared with a random winning number, after which the prizes are determined.

According to this invention, the rate is formed depending on the duration of the participant’s call, and the winnings are determined by conducting a series of open draws in electronic media. At the same time, during each draw, a different part of the registered bets is played out and distributed using Labyrinth-type devices that are physically and logically separated from the rate registration system.

In accordance with another variant of the game, Teleloto, in order to place their bets, the participants use a telecommunication facility. After listening to the greeting, the participant enters his individual registration number (IRN), a combination of numbers and / or characters and registration data, and a computer database registers the correspondence between the IRN and the identifier of the file containing the speech file containing the participant data. To determine the winners, draws are conducted using a random-draw machine for random numbers (GMSCh), and Labyrinth-type devices are used to determine the size of the prize.

Entertaining game Teleloto is characterized by the fact that the games of the Labyrinth and devices for generating random numbers are logically and physically separated from the betting system. Also, the entertainment game Teleloto is characterized by the fact that the bid of the participant is represented by at least part of the cost of a telephone call.

The prizes in the third drawing are determined using specialized software that selects a random number from the individual numbers of participants who made their bets.

The participant chosen in this way is granted the right to play on the labyrinth device and, using telecommunications, to give commands about his moves along the playing fields in the form of a labyrinth. Once in the place with the amount indicated on it, the participant wins this amount as a prize. In the labyrinth device, which is used to determine the prizes of the third draw, there are also playing fields that can rotate. The playing field from which the game starts is marked with arrows indicating the three possible directions for the move forward, and the rest of the playing fields are marked with one-way and bidirectional arrows indicating the possible directions for the next moves of the participant. On some final playing fields there are an ηth number of pointers with a pre-fixed and specified amount of prize.

The advantages of the proposed game Teleloto become apparent due to the pronounced attractiveness and high degree of entertainment during the determination of the winnings in the process of all the drawings. In this game, easy access to the lottery is provided, as the participant simply needs to contact the telephone system for the provision of paid services and enter registration data, while not

- 2 006870 need a credit card and do not need the ability to automatically determine the number, at the same time information about the placed rate is transmitted directly to the participant. The mentioned attractiveness and entertainment are due to the successful combination of easy betting using a telephone system to provide paid services and use multimedia tools to determine the winners. Carrying out the game, especially in the part of the draws to determine the winners is held in the form of a television show, in front of many viewers, and the winner can share his joy and success with others.

The rules for determining winnings create conditions for the occurrence of unexpected situations, since there is a possibility when a large number of participants win. This is a result of the fact that the winnings are distributed according to a scheme that depends on the collection, that is, on the number of calls, while there are no restrictions on the number of calls from one participant. The game is held in terms of attractiveness and entertainment, due to the large number of gaming combinations and the size of possible wins during all the drawings. The game is distinguished by easy access and unforeseen situations during its implementation. This game is inherent entertainment in carrying out all the drawings due to the large number of combinations of ways to carry it out. The rules described above allow each participant to influence the size of the prize in a given draw by means of a personal bet, and also to win more at a time in one cycle, setting the number of bets. The game is distinguished by dynamism, simplicity and justice, kindness and honesty, which remove any internal restrictions or depressed mood from the players. Labyrinth or Shine of Ra games played on the described devices can be played as separate games in the same sequential order or in combination with other games.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Below is a description of the approximate carrying out of the proposed game, which does not limit the way of conducting, when changing the sequence of different drawings. At the same time, the already mentioned entertainment, appeal and ease with which the bets are made are inherent in this game.

Entertaining game Teleloto consists of four different stages-draws that must be passed. Given the growing number of participants and the attractiveness of the game, these stages can be carried out immediately one after the other or at regular intervals.

According to one exemplary version of the game, it starts after an arbitrary number of calls are sent through any means of communication, which are registered by the communication and computer system. Each participant, after submitting his information data associated with registration, and after he has made his bets, is considered a regular participant, and the above computer system randomly generates an individual number, for example, a five-digit one.

According to the rules of the proposed game, in order to make their bets, the participants use telecommunications (Fig. 4). After listening to the greeting message 104, they enter their individual registration number (IRN) 105 — a combination of numbers and / or characters — and the registration data and computer database 106 register the correspondence between the IRN and the identifier of the file containing the speech file with the participant's data.

This five-digit number allows you to participate in the distribution of prizes in drawings from the first to the third, which are held after the time allotted to make bets. After the stipulated time, the fourth prize drawing is held, in which all the usual participants registered for the agreed time take part, regardless of whether they took part in the distribution of the prizes in the previous three draws. The cycle, when they make bets, is convenient to do 24-hour by holding the first, second and third draws daily, and the cycle for the fourth draw is conveniently conducted on a weekly basis (i.e., once a week).

In the first and second draws, different parts of the bets are distributed, which were made only for the daily cycle of the game.

- 3 006870

The first drawing starts with the use of devices for determining lucky numbers (randomly), for example, drums, in which balls under the action of compressed air are marked with numbers from 0 to 9. In this particular case, three drums with 10 balls each are used. To get three different numbers (numbers of units, tens, hundreds) of a three-digit number, three balls are pulled out one by one (one from each drum). To determine the prizes in the first draw, three reels are used (Fig. 5), and the resulting 111 number is entered into the computer-electronic system 112, which visualizes all the IGR during the active game time, in which the last three digits coincide with the extended three-digit number 115. Winners are distributed between equal parts of the payoff on the first lottery. All participants who have made bids and who have been provided with a generated five-digit individual number, the last three digits of which coincide with the extended three-digit number, distribute equal parts of the amount specified as a percentage (%) of the planned prizes.

The second rally begins with the use of four drums, in which, under the action of compressed air, balls are marked with numbers from 0 to 9. Four balls (one from each drum) are pulled out one after the other to get four different digits of a four-digit number. To determine the prizes in the second draw, four reels are used (Fig. 6), and the resulting number 118 is entered into the computer-electronic system 119, which visualizes all the IES during the active game time, in which the last four digits coincide with the extended four-digit number 122. The winners are distributed between equal parts of the second lottery payout. All participants with valid bets, the last four digits of the individual numbers of which coincide with the extended four-digit number, distribute equal parts of the amount specified for distribution as prizes, which represents the percentage (%) of the bets made for the second draw.

The third drawing starts with the use of specialized software, which randomly selects the number among the individual numbers of participants registered for the daily cycle. The participant chosen in this way is granted the right to participate in the distribution of prizes of the third draw using the Labyrinth device. The prizes of the third draw (Fig. 7) are determined using specialized software designed to select a random call from the participants who made their bets 125, playing the file with the recording of the corresponding voice 127. After checking the validity of the data in the record 129, a telephone connection is established with the player 130, and he is granted the right to play on the labyrinth device and, with the help of telecommunications, give commands about his moves along the playing fields in the maze. Once in the cell with the amount indicated on it, the participant wins this amount as a prize of 131. The mediator in the game communicates with this participant by phone, and the latter gives commands on how to walk the labyrinth device. In the labyrinth device, which is used to determine the prizes of the third draw, there are also playing fields that can rotate. The playing field from which the game starts is marked with arrows indicating the three possible directions for the move forward, and the remaining playing fields are marked with one- and two-directional arrows indicating the possible directions for the next moves of the participant. On some final playing fields there is an ηth number of pointers with a pre-fixed and specified amount of prize.

A labyrinth is a board with playing fields marked with signs — numbers, letters, or a combination of them. The game example shows a board with 54 playing fields. Pointers with a pre-set prize, which is the percentage (%) of the total amount collected from daily rates, for example, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and jack pot (1P).

Playing a game always starts from the playing field, indicated as the beginning, from which you can walk in three directions: left, right or down respectively. All other playing fields are marked with unidirectional and bidirectional arrows indicating possible directions of moves, and the participant can give commands to make such moves. When a bidirectional playing field is open (i.e., a field with two possible directions of moves), the participant chooses and indicates the direction in which he wants to make a move. When the unidirectional playing field is open, the direction is already shown, and the intermediary in the game opens the next playing field by himself. The goal of the game is to get on the playing field, located on the edge, against which the prize is indicated, and win the specified amount. Upon reaching the prize field, the third draw ends.

The difference between the prize won by the participant and the amount distributed in the daily cycle to the prizes of the third draw is added to the sum of the jackpot of the device the next day.

In the event that the participant selected by the player at the beginning of the game cannot be contacted, you can select a maximum of two participants and contact them by phone to act as players on the labyrinth device.

Once a week, the game Shine of Ra is held, in which the prizes of the fourth draw are determined. To determine the prizes at the fourth draw, five reels are used (Fig. 8), and the resulting number 134 is entered into the computer electronic system 135, which visualizes all the IES for

- 4 006870 The time of the game with the last five digits coinciding with the five-digit number 138 extended, playing the recorded voice files 139. After checking the validity of the data in the record 141 with the player, the telephone connection is set to 142. The prizes of the fourth draw are determined using the Klondike device. It is an inclined board with a flat surface. The playing field has barriers located on it, with the barriers on different lines shifted relative to each other, and at the bottom of the board there are signs to catch the game elements - balls indicating the prize. All participants in the cycles during this week can take part in the game. To determine the prizes uses a labyrinth-type device called Klondike.

The game begins with the use of a device for pulling numbers at random, in this particular case - from five drums with balls marked with numbers from 0 to 9. Five balls are drawn (one from each drum), which make up a five-digit number. All participants who made bets under an individual number that coincides with the five-digit number drawn in this way are eligible to participate in the distribution of prizes of the fourth draw.

To determine the prizes using the device Klondike. It consists of an inclined board (1) with a bounding frame (2) at the edges. On the playing field (3), thus formed, there are fixed barriers (4) located in line (5), and barriers (4) of one line are shifted relative to barriers (4) of the previous line. At the lower end of the game board (1) there are pointers (6) in the form of pockets that indicate in advance the amount of the prize. Preferably, the number of pockets (6) is at least 5. In this particular case, their number is 9, with the pocket with the highest prize in the center, and the pockets (6) on either side of it are for smaller prizes.

According to the rules of the game Shining of Ra, each participant has the right to use 10 pieces for the competition - balls of the same color, which he inserts into the device. Balls randomly rolling between the barriers (4) fall into pockets that indicate the size of the prize. A new ball is inserted into the device only after the previous ball has finished moving.

If the number of participants is more than one, lots are drawn to determine the sequence of the game, i.e. the order in which each of them will insert a new ball.

The prize - super jackpot or any other - is received by the participant who managed to hit two balls in one pocket, and this is where his participation in the game ends. The remaining participants continue to play until they use all the balls (10 pieces) or until they win. In case of winning a super jackpot by any of the participants, the other participants can receive consolation prizes.

The difference between the winnings and the amount distributed to the prizes of the weekly cycle of the game is added to the amount of the super jackpot for the next week.

Both the above-described devices - Labyrinth and Klondike - can be used as separate games or in combination - in the specified or in the reverse order.
