A method of playing a lottery instant scratch ticket game comprises a plurality of scratch tickets, wherein game symbols are provided for each ticket. Each game symbol is divided into symbol sections and each symbol section is numbered and covered with a removable film. Player numbers are covered with an opaque removable film. The opaque film is removed to reveal the player symbols. The film over any numbered symbol section that matches a player symbol is removed to reveal the said symbol section. In various embodiments, a) a single symbol that is fully revealed may win a prize, (b) two or more symbols that are fully revealed may win a prize or c) two or more symbols that are fully revealed may win a prize larger than the prize of a single symbol.

An electronic gaming machine includes a processor configured to control at least one display device to display at least one of a matrix of symbol positions and a plurality of multipliers, and to evaluate a bingo card to determine a bingo game outcome. The processor is also configured to evaluate a bingo card to determine a bingo game outcome, and to determine whether the bingo game outcome is a winning outcome. If the bingo game outcome is a winning outcome, the processor is also configured to determine an award value associated with the winning outcome, and to obtain an award quotient based at least in part on the award value and a value of at least one multiplier of the plurality of multipliers. In addition, the processor is configured to determine a winning reel outcome associated with the award quotient, where the winning reel outcome includes a winning plurality of symbols. The processor is also configured to control the at least one display device to display the winning plurality of symbols in the matrix of symbol positions.

A method of playing a lottery instant scratch ticket game comprises a plurality of scratch tickets, wherein each ticket comprises four game grids. Each ticket provides a TicTacToe-like gameplay and wherein O symbols provide a payout differing from X symbols in each separate game grid. A mini jackpot and a maxi jackpot may be provided. Alternate embodiments are discussed.

The disclosure relates to devices, systems, methods and computer readable media for providing network management of remote card handling, and physical manipulation. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to networked devices, systems, methods and computer program methods for remotely, physically modifying a card while leaving a physical record of the modified card for inspection and validation and delivering the manipulation results to a user, and/or other third parties, for example, scratch lottery cards and ballot cards.

A gaming machine receives a first play input at a first gaming machine, determines a first quantity of play areas based on a first wager, generates at least one first play area based on the determined first quantity, and determines whether the at least one first play area satisfies a predetermined first threshold. At least a portion of the first wager associated with the first play input is allocated to a progressive jackpot. At least a first portion of the progressive jackpot is allocated to the first gaming machine when the at least one first play area satisfies the predetermined first threshold.

In one example of the disclosure, a substantially transparent substrate is provided at a printer. A primer layer is applied upon a first surface of the substrate. A security ink layer that includes security information is applied upon the primer layer. An opaque background ink layer is applied upon the security ink layer. A corona treatment is applied to a second surface, located on an opposite side of the substrate relative to the first surface. A release ink layer is applied upon the corona-treated second surface. An opaque cover image ink layer is applied upon the release ink layer.

A gaming system and a method of operating a gaming system that provides a game with multiple draws such as a lottery game with multiple draws.

A method for providing outcome variation for grid based number selection games is disclosed. The method allows novel interactions with random populations of numbers referenced on a grid which can be implemented as enhancements to existing grid based number selection games or as a standalone game, where the interaction involves placing one or more bets to predict the occurrences of combinations of a defined configuration that can be formed on a grid using a random number population. These bets can be implemented as side bets for an existing game in order to introduce new player strategies and reward options without disrupting the mechanics of the underlying game.
