An apparatus and method for allocating a prize

摘要

An auxiliary controller ( 2 ) communicates with the primary controller ( 1 ) via a wide area network ( 3 ). Routers ( 43, 44 ) provide an interface between the wide area network ( 3 ) and the primary controller ( 1 ) and the auxiliary controllers ( 2 ) respectively. The bandwidth of communications across the wide area network ( 3 ) is typically limited, and the controllers ( 2 ) are configured for communication and processing to obviate that bandwidth limitation.
