Method for generating random numbers
First Claim
1. A method for generating and applying random numbers for gaming, using an apparatus;
- said method comprising;
the apparatus strongly encrypting and authenticating a game control sequence, to provide a secured game control sequence;
the apparatus sending the secured game control sequence to a game;
the game strongly encrypting and authenticating game results at the game to provide secured game results;
the game sending the secured game results back to the apparatus;
the apparatus receiving the game results back from the game;
the apparatus interpreting the received results in terms of a game-control rule;
the apparatus strongly encrypting and authenticating the interpreted result; and
the apparatus transmitting the interpreted result back to a remote player.

Abstract
An apparatus for implementing a game having a deterministic component and a non-deterministic component wherein a player uses the game through at least one player interface unit. Each player interface unit generates a player record indicating player-initiated events. A random number generator provides a series of pseudo-random numbers and a rules library stores indexed rules for one or more games. An interface registry stores mapping records where the mapping records are used to associate the player-initiated events to pre-selected rules in the rules library. A control means is coupled to the player interface to receive the output of the player interface unit, coupled to the interface registry, the rules library, and the random number generator. The control means processes the player record and returns an output record to the player interface unit where the output record is determined by executing the game'"'"'s rules with reference to the pseudo-random numbers and predefined combinatorial algorithms for selecting sets of the pseudo-random numbers.
