<p>A system and method for remote players to select the numbers on a bingo card and to have this card played in a local Do-It-Yourself bingo game. Remote players wishing to play use a telephone to select the numbers on a game card that is entered into a remotely located bingo game. This entry process also acquires the players identification information. Billing is provided by a '900' number billing service or by charging a player's credit card account. A computer system plays the randomly selected balls against all the entered game cards, and determines the winners. No game cards are manufactured or distributed as the players create their own cards. Local and remote players are assured that the game is legitimately played as all the remote players' cards are printed out at the game site and stored in lock boxes similarly to the local players' cards as proof of the bingo numbers selected and payment made for game entry.</p> |
