Methods and systems that enable reliable audits of a number of predetermined trust requirements for games by electronic means, either on-site or remote, are disclosed. A system including a gaming module to which the players interact with a security module and an audit module capable of several degrees of dispersion and/or grouping performs provision by the gaming module to the security module of digital information containing significant events occurred during the games, generation by the security module of a protected record for each of the cited significant events, storage by the security module of every protected record, generating a file of protected records, and access by the audit module to the file of protected records, independent from the games operator, to verify the correct development of the games. |

1. Method for enabling reliable audits of a number of predetermined confident requirements for games played by electronic means that include a sequence of significant game play events, utilizing the next modules comprised by said electronic means:
a gaming module for interacting with at least one player, a security module for generating in real time a digital file of protected records that takes into account at least a subset of said significant game play events, said security module being in constant communication with said gaming module, and an audit module for generating audit information related to past game plays, said audit module including processing means to process information relative to the protected records contained in said digital file of protected records,said method comprising, for each of said significant game play events which are taken into account for the generation of said digital file of protected records, the following steps:
a) providing, from said gaming module to said security module, digital information that relates to at least part of said significant game play event; b) generating from said digital information of said step a), in said security module, a protected record by means of a digital mark that keeps the ordering of said protected record within a sequence of protected records generated during the game plays and keeps the integrity of this ordering preventing the deletion and/or alteration of records ordering and/or addition of intermediate records; and c) storing in real time the protected record, generating said digital file of protected records,and said method further comprising verifying in said audit module the correct development of the past game plays, from at least a part of said digital file of protected records including a number of said protected records selected according to an audit criterion;wherein said verification done in said audit module comprises:
the checking of the authenticity and integrity of said protected records of said file or part of said file of protected records; the reconstruction, based on said file or said part of said file of protected records, of said significant events which occurred during each game play; the analysis of said reconstructed significant gaming events, in order to verify a set of predetermined requirements essential for the trustworthy and honest development of said game play by electronic means, said analysis being done on the basis of rules of said games and/or of predetermined conditions, that are already loaded on said audit module and/or that are provided to the audit module,wherein said security module and said audit module are separated at least functionally. |
