CENTRAL RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION FOR GAMING SYSTEM

摘要

A gaming system and a gaming system control method are provided for use with gaming terminals such as electronic terminals including electronic slot machines, electronic poker- playing machines, electronic keno machines and the like. A central computer broadcasts a plurality of random number seeds serially for simultaneous receipt of each seed by a plurality of gaming terminals. Each gaming terminal uses the seed to generate a random number which determines the win/loss outcome. Two terminals configured to play the same game which receive the same random number seed will generate the same random number.
