Abstract
A player inserts his or her consideration or money into a gambling device, and makes his wager. The player can see the outcome of the play before he commits via button or window. Therefore removing the chance (chance the unknown or unpredictable element, according to Webster's dictionary).
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . Eliminating the element of the “chance” or the unpredictable, or the unknown element removes it from being classified as a “Gambling Device.”
A gambling device is defined as being any so called slot machine or any other machine or mechanical device, which is designed and manufactured primarily for use in connection with gambling, and any subassembly or essential part to be used in any such machines, but which is not attached to any such machine or mechanical device as a constituent. A lottery ticket is defined as a drawing of lots in which prizes are distributed to the winners among persons buying a chance. A method to remove the element of “chance” or the unpredictable, or the unknown will be introduced to satisfy the rules of gambling.
2 . The player will observe either a constant window on the display screen of the “Video Gambling” device or will need to press a button to open a window on the “Video Gambling” to “Preview” the next outcome.
The lottery tickets or lottery pull-tabs will be displayed through a window, called a pull-tab dispenser. He or she can see the out come before it is dispensed, and or the out come of events will be preprinted on a ticket.
3 . After examination of the “Preview,” the player can determine if he or she wants to continue to place monetary consideration or “Wager,” or not to participate.
The “Video Gambling” Device can also be played for entertainment only. The entertainment value will take place after it is determined whether or not the outcome of the event is a “winner” or a “non winner.” When a player inserts consideration into an electronic video gaming device with our program he or she makes his wager and can see what the outcome will be before he commits to it, VIA button (or window) that lets him or her preview the next outcome before committing to his or her wager. Therefore removing the chance (chance the unknown, unpredictable element, according to Webster's Dictionary). Therefore the player can decide whether or not to purchase the event, knowing the outcome. It starts in the software; the engineer will look into the existing software (via the source code) then program our preview screen into the existing program. After the insertion of the preview screen option in the program the game operator will have the option to have a small window or a video screen that previews the next event outcome or the operator can have a button that a player may push and preview the next event outcome. The lottery tickets or lottery pull-tabs will be displayed through a window and displayed as a winner or looser. The player can then make the decision to enter consideration or monies into the lottery ticket or pull tab dispenser.
4 . If the player decides that it will be favorable outcome he or she can continue with their wager and receive his or her prize if any.
5 . If the player decides the outcome in UN favorable he or she can press the collect button and receive his full consideration back for that play.
6 . There is no consideration to preview the next event.
The term gambling advice means, any so called slot machine or any other mechanical machines or mechanical device an essential part of which is a drum or reel with insignia there on, and which when operated may deliver, as a result of the application of an element of chance, any money or property, or by the operation of which a person may be entitled to receive, as a result of application of an element of chance, any money or property.
7 . Eliminating the element of “Chance” or the unpredictable or the unknown element removes it from being classified as a “Gambling Device”
