Electronic pull tab gaming system

摘要

A gaming system (10) produces a multiple-play physical pull tab ticket (50) at the request of a player. Each chance in the game is associated with a game play record which has been produced and stored in the system prior to the sale of the physical game ticket (50). A player in the game selects a number of game play outcomes or plays to be purchased and the gaming system (10) responds to the request by producing and distributing to the player a pull tab ticket (50) having the requested number of game play outcomes (56) printed or otherwise formed on a ticket substrate. The game play outcomes (56) are chosen at random from the game play records which were produced prior to the start of the game. The pull tab game tickets (50) may be purchased through a previously funded account and winnings may be applied to the account as well. Game play information specifying the outcomes of each game play printed on the game ticket may be printed or otherwise encoded on the game ticket (50). A player terminal (30) may read this game play information using a suitable scanning device and may then display the results of the plays to the player. The game play results may be displayed through appropriate player interaction to imitate a non-pull tab game, especially a casino type game.
