A security-enhanced document including a substrate, variable indica applied to an area of a first side of the substrate, a scratch-off-coating applied over the variable indicia to maintain the variable indicia unreadable until the scratch-off-coating is removed by being scratched off, and digital imaging applied to an area of a reverse side of the substrate from the variable indicia, wherein the digital imaging applied to the area of the reverse side of the substrate includes the same materials as the variable indicia, is uniformly spread over the area of the reverse side of the substrate, and such that the digital imaging overlaps at least 50% of the variable indica applied to the area of the first side of the substrate, such that the variable indicia exhibits an insufficient signal-to-noise ratio relative to the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital imaging on the reverse side of the substrate so that the variable indicia cannot be discerned so long as the scratch-off-coating remains intact.

An electronic gaming machine and a method are provided which generates outcome presentations from a Class 2 or a central determination game outcome. A database stores RNG seeds that correspond to various presentations. To generate the outcome presentations, the RNG seeds are retrieved from the database and random numbers are generated from the RNG seeds. These random numbers are then used to generate the outcome presentations for the Class 2 or central determination game outcome. The RNG seeds may be stored as a series of RNG seeds which may be individually accessed to eliminate certain outcomes or sort certain outcomes prior to presentation.

A controller is configured to obtain, from a first video camera in proximity to a ticket dispensing machine, a first video stream; transmit the first video stream to an application server for delivery to a user device; receive, from the application server, a dispense command for the ticket dispensing machine; cause the ticket dispensing machine to dispense, based on the dispense command, a ticket having a scratching area; receive a user-provided scratching command from the application server; and cause a robotic scratching device to scratch the scratching area in accordance with the scratching command.

A system including a deck of cards that is configured to play a bingo game, in which said deck of cards comprise 50 individual cards including at least 10 cards with letter B's, at least 10 cards with letter I's, at least 10 cards with letter N's, at least 10 cards with letter G's, and at least 10 cards with letter O's. A set of game play instructions include rules for playing the bingo game, wherein winning a hand in said bingo game comprises making at least one of a bingo and five of the same letter from any combination of hold cards and community cards.

The present invention relates to a scratch and win business game card that is comprised of a front surface and a rear surface that are both further comprised of a plurality of panels. At least one panel is further comprised of at least one scratchable game board that has at least one symbol that can be scratched to reveal a winning or non-winning icon. Based on the number of winning or non-winning icon revealed, the user can further win a prize amount. The remaining panels of the scratch and win business game card may further be comprised of a plurality of indicia in the form of a business card that can be torn away from the body of the scratch and win business game card, as well as instructions and rules for playing the game on the scratchable game board, and prize amounts for winning the game.

An electronic bingo gaming system enables the entertainment mechanisms in Class II gaming machines to mimic the look and feel of the Class III games on which those entertainment mechanisms are based. The system is constructed to minimize any wait times by players that commence a bingo game or join a bingo game already in progress. To create consistency in what players are hoping to see on their bingo cards, the bingo game may use a single interim prize pattern required to win an interim prize that is the same for all players.

A clipboard apparatus for holding lottery tickets and collecting shavings from the lottery tickets. The clipboard apparatus has a base having a flat top surface and a bottom surface, the base has a proximal end and a distal end. A clip is coupled to the top surface of proximal end of the base, wherein the clip can secure one or more lottery tickets held on the base. A receptacle is at the top surface of distal end of the base, the receptacle has an open top, the open top of the receptacle faces towards the clip, wherein the receptacle can receive and hold the shavings scratched from the lottery ticket.

An improved gaming system and method enabling the creation and management of multiple concurrent games with limited numbers of players and/or gameplay stations. The gaming system includes at least a gaming server and a plurality of gameplay stations, the gaming server aggregating players and creating games in response to receiving a gameplay request and evaluating whether or not to begin a new game based on conditions of the gaming system, including a maximum number of allowed games, a failure rate of gameplay requests, a usage ratio and a number of gameplay stations currently participating in active games.
