Fueling game devices, systems, and methods

摘要

A game of accuracy and method for playing the same at a fuel pump comprising one or more players dispensing fuel or energy with the object of stopping the fuel pump's metering mechanism at a predetermined value. Exemplary embodiments of the game comprise a fuel pump, a metering mechanism for measuring the quantity of fuel or energy dispensed, a controller coupled with the fuel pump for starting and stopping the flow of fuel or energy therethrough, and a processor in communication with the metering mechanism. The method of playing comprises selecting a goal outcome, one or more players dispensing fuel or energy with the object of dispensing an amount of fuel or energy that corresponds with the goal outcome, and providing the one or more players with a prize in the event the amount of fuel or energy dispensed corresponds with the goal outcome.

1. A method for facilitating the play of a game of accuracy at a fuel pump, comprising the steps of:
at least one player operating a system to dispense fuel or energy with the object of dispensing a specific quantity of the fuel or energy related to a goal outcome, the system comprising:
a fuel pump having a metering mechanism operable to display a value corresponding to the quantity of fuel or energy dispensed from a source of the fuel or energy;a controller coupled with the fuel pump, the controller operable by the at least one player to start and stop distribution of the fuel or energy by the fuel pump; anda processor in communication with the metering mechanism, the processor operable to compare the goal outcome with the value displayed by the metering mechanism to determine of the at least one player should be awarded a prize; and providing a prize to the at least one player in the event the value corresponds with the goal outcome; wherein the step of providing the prize to the at least one player is performed by:
assigning a point amount to the at least one player, the point amount corresponding to how closely the quantity of fuel or energy dispensed matches the goal outcome;designating at least one winning point amount corresponding to a number of points required to win the prize; andproviding the prize to the at least one player in the event the point amount is equal to or greater than the at least one winning point amount.
