Definitions
- the present invention relates to an internet version of scratch-off games of the type wherein a player removes a portion of an image to expose gaming symbols, the matching of which determines a win.
- a multitude of scratch-off gaming cards are presently available through retail outlets such as convenience stores. Such games have meet with great success and developed a following of dedicated players as well as casual players. However, to participate in the games, players have to travel to a retail source of game cards.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide scratch-off game cards as electronically produced images transmitted over the Internet.
- a scratch-off game card displayed on an internet Web page is created by generating a game image which includes one or more alphanumerics and/or symbols which comprise a classical scratch-off matching game.
- the areas containing the game elements are replaced or covered by a second image which obscures the gaming elements which may or may not be present as subliminal portions of the basic game card.
- a browser player determines if the scratch-off game card represents a win by dragging the cursor over the sections of the card image which hide the gaming areas. This action removes the screening image or initiates the image of the gaming symbols to give the player the impression that his or her action with the courser is removing a covering from the symbols.
- Figure 1 is a process flow chart illustrating the functional sequence used to implement a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a simulation of a typical preliminary game player registration internet Web page used in practicing the invention.
- Figure 3 illustrates the interactive hyperlink structure bringing about the invention.
- Figure 4 is an exemplary internet Web page containing a typical game card partially scratched off.
- Figure 5 illustrates the progression of a typical scratch-off game.
- an image of a scratch-off game card is derived from an internet source and displayed on a browser's terminal.
- the game card image contains gaining alphanumerics and/or symbols created by a random number generator mechanism.
- a cover image is superimposed over at least the portions of the game card containing the randomly generated gaming elements and the merged images are supplied as an internet web page.
- the pair of superimposed images in an appropriate image file are transmitted to a selected player on the internet.
- the randomly generated gaming elements are not generated until an internet browser elects to play the game and meets any predetermined prerequisites.
- the win/no- win status of the card is known by the provider but the browser is not aware of the gaming elements. Movement of the browser's cursor across the browser's screen is read over the external link coupling the browser's web page display to the game card cover image file and creates a permanent window by deleting the portion of the cover image file as the cursor is moved around various coordinates of the file. Thus portions of the underlying superimposed image from the game card file are exposed. Alternately, the cursor movement paints the gaming images to create an identical effect for the player. The game provider has previously determined if the thus exposed portions of the image game card constitute a winning selection and the browser's cursor movements simply advise the game provider that the browser is playing.
- the browser is advised and the browser's account is appropriately credited or if an actual prize rather than a credit is being awarded, an e-mail message identifying the winning browser is transmitted to the prize supplier so that the appropriate prize may be shipped to the browser.
- FIG. 1 The functional sequence used to implement a preferred embodiment of the best mode for practicing the invention is illustrated by Figure 1.
- An internet browser is lead to the advertising banner 10 as a normal browsing function on the internet or hyperlinked by a participating advertiser.
- Game identification and selected sponsor logos follow the advertising banner in a program box 11 which includes pointers 12 (hyperlinks) that transport a browser and prospective game player to web pages which include game related information such as instructions for playing the game 14, a list of prizes 15, rules which govern play 16 and a list of participating sponsors 17.
- a perspective player Upon reaching the first group of hyperlink pointers 12, a perspective player typically elects to jump to the "Prizes" Web page 15. The list entices the player to investigate further by using a browser to jump back to the Web page containing the program box 11 to check the "How to Play" Web page 14 and occasionally the "Rules & Regulations" Web page 15, jumping back to the program box 11 after each Web page is investigated. If sufficiently motivated, a perspective player may select the demo game pointer 18 which hyperlinks the player to a demonstration game Web page 19. This Web page is identical in appearance to an actual game Web page 20. It automatically links the player to the demonstration scratch-off game card 21 which is identical to an actual game card 22.
