SYSTEMS AND RELATED TECHNIQUES FOR TIME-BASED GAMBLING VIA NETWORK-CONNECTED CLIENT DEVICES

摘要

In one embodiment of the disclosed techniques, a system includes a processor and a memory with a game play module and a random probability calculation module. The game play module is configured to identify a subset of client devices from a plurality of client devices configured to access an online gaming system, where each client device in the subset is actively accessing the online gaming system during a first time period. The game play module is further configured to allocate a portion of subscription fees collected from the client devices to a winnings pool. The random probability calculation module is configured to determine that a jackpot is to be awarded at a point in time within the first time period from the winnings pool. The random probability calculation module is further configured to select a client device from the identified subset of client devices to receive the jackpot.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that includes a game play module and a first random probability calculation module; wherein, when executed by the processor:
the game play module is configured to:
identify a first subset of client devices from a plurality of client devices configured to access an online gaming system, wherein each client device included in the first subset of client devices is actively accessing the online gaming system at a first point in time within a first time period, andallocate a first portion of subscription fees collected from the plurality of client devices to a first winnings pool; andthe first random probability calculation module is associated with the first winnings pool and is configured to:
determine that a first jackpot is to be awarded at the first point in time within the first time period from the first winnings pool, andselect a first client device from the first subset of client devices identified by the game play module to receive the first jackpot.
