1. An electronic game of chance comprising:
- a portable box containing;
box interface means for receiving a predetermined game authorization information item required for a game to be played and for receiving a payment request information item;
communication means for communicating with the player;
means for determining reference data item internally within said box;
memory means for storing at least one reference data itema box processor includingbox comparison means for comparing said reference data item with a game data item communicated by the player via said communication means, one of these two data items being a value generated within said portable box by a first random generator meanswin detection means, responsive to said box comparison means, for establishing a win information item depending at least on the result of said comparison, and for storing said win information item in said memory means, andbox encryption means, responsive to said payment request information item, for establishing a first encrypted win value from said win information item and for delivering said first encrypted win value to said box interface means; and
a control system external to said portable box containing;
a system input/output interface anda system processor including means, responsive to a payment request originating from the player, for reading said win information item contained in said memory means of said portable box and for delivering said payment request information item to said system input/output interface,system encryption means for establishing a second encrypted win value from said win information item, andsystem comparison means for comparing said two encrypted win values to control payment in response to said payment request.

Abstract
A portable box comprises memory able to store at least one item of reference data, and a comparator able to compare the said reference data item with an item of game data input by the player via a communication interface, one of these two data items being a value generated in a random way. An item of win information dependent at least on the result of the said comparison is stored in the memory, and box encryption structure are able, in response to a predetermined item of payment request information (IDP) received, to establish a first encrypted win value from the said win information item. A station, external to the box, comprises a system input/output interface able to cooperate with the interface of the box, and system processing structure, able, in the presence of a payment request originating from the player, to read the said win information item contained in the memory of the box. System encryption structure, counterparts of the box encryption structure, establish a second encrypted win value from the said win information item read. The actual payment of the win to the player is conditioned by agreement of the two encrypted win values.
