Abstract
Systems and methods are provided wherein a player device continues game play independent of a determination of player input validity. According to one embodiment, a game controller receives a player input from a remote player device via a communication network. For example, the game controller may receive a batch of player inputs from a player device via the Internet. The game controller then determines if the received player input is valid based on a game condition while the remote player device continues game play independent of any indication of validity from the game controller.
