Definitions

  • This disclosure generally relates to the field of gaming. More particularly, the disclosure relates to games of chance.
  • An instant lottery game typically allows a player to determine if he or she has won the lottery game instantly and the exact amount of the prize won instantly.
  • the instant lottery game may be operated through a terminal at a lottery vendor.
  • the lottery vendor may have an instant lottery ticket dispensing machine that communicates with a central server.
  • the instant lottery ticket dispensing machine may determine the assortment of indicia on the instant lottery game ticket at the time the instant lottery game ticket is purchased.
  • the sale of terminal generated instant lottery game tickets may involve a phenomenon called palming.
  • palming When a player orders an instant lottery ticket at a point-of-sale location, the vendor may be able to quickly look at certain types of instant lottery game tickets and quickly determine if the instant lottery game ticket is a winning ticket prior to and/or during sale of the instant lottery game ticket. The vendor may then surreptitiously take that winning lottery game ticket for himself or herself and quickly provide the purchaser with another instant lottery ticket that may not be a winning instant lottery ticket. As a result, players may unfairly not receive their prizes. Further, potential instant lottery game players may be discouraged from purchasing instant lottery game tickets. Consequently, palming has functioned as a constraint on the sale of many terminal generated instant lottery games.
  • draw based games are often offered by lotteries.
