High Integrity Golf Wagering System

摘要

A system and method for providing a high integrity golf wagering game. The system includes a driving range with hitting bays where players hit balls at targets. Individual balls are associated with a particular player and are tracked from the tee in a hitting bay to a target. If a player hits a ball into a target, a wagering game is offered that awards prizes to a player depending on the outcome of the game. The game itself may take many different forms including a slot type game. The system and method include variants for randomization of game results or results based in whole or in part on a player's skill in hitting targets.
