Types of games having multiple stages and their applications utilizing game-operating computer systems and computer-implemented methods

Abstract

In some embodiments, the present invention provides for a computer-implemented method for conducting a game, having at least steps of: electronically receiving, by at least one specifically programmed computer processor, in real-time, game entries data representing game entries of players to participate in the game; where each game entry identifies a single playing instance of the game, having a plurality of drawing events; electronically determining, by the processor, in real-time, based on a game mode, a plurality of winning results for the plurality of drawing events respectively; electronically determining, by the processor, in real-time, a winning game entry, having selections which win each drawing event of the plurality of drawing events; and electronically recording, by the processor, in real-time, a portion of a jackpot to be distributed to a particular player associated with the winning game entry.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method for conducting a game, wherein the method, comprising:
 electronically receiving, by at least one specifically programmed computer processor, via a computer network, in real-time, game entries data representing game entries from at least a thousand (1,000) players to participate in the game;   electronically determining, by the at least one specifically programmed computer processor, in real-time, based on at least one game mode, a plurality of winning results;   electronically determining, by the at least one specifically programmed computer processor, in real-time, at least one winning game entry from the game entries data; and   electronically recording, by the at least one specifically programmed computer processor, in real-time, at least one portion of a jackpot to be distributed to a particular player associated with the at least one winning game entry.
