Lottery Studio Games
We provide complete software and hardware solutions for lottery studio games from project design to implementation, providing a guarantee of the complete system functionality in accordance with the game plan. We have provided software and hardware solution for additional studio games for the national lottery company Tipos, i.e. Tipos-Bingo, Zlatý dážď, Zlaté vajce, Čierna alebo biela, Ostrov pokladov a Správne číslo.
We handle technical requirements for studio lottery games which are similar to the problems mentioned for the television knowledge and contest games, with the difference of victory being decided just by a chance. In the following section we will try to show you some particular technical features of the games for which we have provided our software and hardware:
Eliminating Errors when Entering Numbers
In order to eliminate operator error when entering a drawn number it was necessary to implement number entering by two separate operators. The software displayed the drawn number only when numbers entered by both operators matched. Of course, if the balls have identification chips and a reading device is installed in the drawing machine, it is possible to fully automate the entire process.
Graphic Display of Drawn Numbers
It is necessary to handle a high number of control and computing functions when each number is drawn (e.g. the calculation of a number of winners and prize amount, the number of winning candidates in individual levels etc.). The whole process must be implemented in real time and the graphic display of the ball must be implemented without observable delay. This process can be accomplished only by highly optimized software and powerful computational and graphic performance.
Interactivity with Players
Since our systems operate in real time, it is possible to fully utilize interactivity with players using our input-output devices. For example, a player chooses between options (black or white), or guesses an answers to a question, chooses a direction, stops drawing a lucky line etc. Such responses are much more unambiguous (because they indicate a final decision of a player) for the lottery commission and state supervision and the responses are accurately recorded in our system.
Electronic Distribution of Prizes
In additional studio games it is necessary to ensure safe a random distribution of prizes before the game. Such electronic distribution of prizes must meet a number of criteria for safety and randomness. One of the criteria is the combination of manual and automatic distribution of prizes, so that influence of one person or software is excluded. The actual distribution of prizes is then performed by the lottery commission and state supervision using our software. A report on the distribution of prizes is printed and securely stored prior to the start of the game, so that the price distribution cannot be influenced during the game.
Drawing a Lucky Line
An example of utilization of our system interaction is also drawing of a lucky line in game Tipos Bingo. A player, whose number was drawn last, has an opportunity to draw a lucky line. The system will start drawing - there is marking of individual lines in keyed graphics in a rapid and unpredictable sequence, synchronized with sound effects. The player stops drawing by pressing a button. The number of lucky line winners is immediately available simultaneously with the output in a graphical form.
