The On-Line Instant Ticket: Global ePoint has licensing rights to the technology and products to read the barcode on the instant tickets during the dispensing process thereby making possible the On-Line Instant ticket. The advantage of an on-line instant ticket is the enhanced security and the reduced cost of production, storage and distribution. Conventional instant tickets require a secure printing process, including absolute control over packaging and distribution because once printed an instant ticket is like money and is worth, at a minimum, its face value. The on-line instant ticket looks and plays just like a conventional instant ticket and retains all of the appeal and excitement of a conventional ticket. However, the on-line instant ticket requires a less secure manufacturing and distribution process because the game-play data that determines a winning or losing ticket is provided on-line at the time of purchase. Therefore the tickets are worthless, except for their production cost, until they are processed on-line at the point of sale. The on-line ticket looks and feels like a conventional instant ticket. However, the ticket solves a number of problems associated with conventional instant tickets and has no value until processed at the time of purchase. It can be displayed at the point of sale without security to encourage impulse sales. The system/ticket works as follows:
This new ticket concept puts instant tickets totally on-line and creates the capability and endless possibilities to combine instant with on-line games, providing the media to enhance both and increase lottery sales. Progressive Jackpots: Combining the advantages of connectivity and the capability to read the instant ticket’s barcode during the dispensing process provides the infrastructure to design into the game’s prize structure a progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpot can be for a specific game or across multiple games. As each ticket is sold the system has total control and is recording and accounting for every ticket. During this process a small-predetermined amount of the prize pool is placed in the jackpot pool and a smaller predetermined amount of the prize pool is placed in a secondary, or shadow jackpot pool. The purpose of the shadow jackpot pool is to have a jackpot amount that is meaningful to the players once the main jackpot has been won. |
