2. Game System Protocol
The Game Server Starts a New game by selecting the Game pattern for the next game. The Game server enables player card purchasing. The Players manually select their game cards from a deck of over 30,000 unique bingo cards. Players purchase their desired cards. The purchase requests are sent to the game server. The game server receives the purchase requests from the players and enters their selected cards into the game. The server sends an acknowledgement back to the player telling the player that their cards have been purchased, and entered into the game. 25 Seconds before game start time the game server suspends further card purchasing. The game server waits an additional 15 seconds to make sure that all purchase requests have been completed and properly entered into the system. The game server then generates 75 or 90 numbers using the systems random number generator. The game server then systematically applies the random calls to each of the player purchased bingo cards and crosschecks each card with the winning pattern. With this procedure the game server has now determined the number of winning bingo cards in the deck of player purchased cards and at which call the cards have won. Receives this information and begins calling the numbers. Calls are presented to the user every ten seconds. Players can then play and chat with other players knowing that in the event of any system, or telecommunications interruption their cards have been fairly entered into the game and that in each case the true game winner (or winners) will be awarded the prize. The outline provided here shows that our game system is fair and completely random. Players are presented with random cards, which they can select at random. The 75 or 90 calls for the game are generated randomly AFTER the card sales have closed. The only factor that enters into determining a winner is the cards that players select on their own. There are no external or internal factors that assist or deter people from winning - it is purely a combination of card selection strategy and luck. Players are always credited with wins regardless of program or network problems during a game in progress. Finally, players should also be aware that the Government of Panam? licenses to operate on the Internet. One of the operating licensing requirements is a fairness opinion, which was conducted by an independent party to ensure that is fair and ethical. The fact that has been licensed since the very beginning is also recognized by the Internet Gaming Commission who have awarded with their stamp of approval (found on the home page on the bottom) for being a fair, ethical and licensed to operate a virtual Bingo game on the Internet Application Development Team.
