Security-enhanced documents and methods of forming security-enhanced documents having indicia under a Scratch-Off Coating (SOC), and more particularly including digitally imaging video frames onto the display area and/or back of the documents. In certain embodiments, portions of digitally imaged video frames are also utilized as game play variable indicia.

Imaging video frames on documents

Systems, methods, and machines for automatically verifying the authenticity and integrity of a ticket such as an instant lottery ticket, a draw lottery ticket, a passive lottery ticket, and/or a Ticket In Ticket Out (Tito) ticket. The systems, methods, and machines verify the authenticity and integrity of a ticket by capturing a first image of the ticket, verifying that the first captured image does not show an apparent steganographic pattern, processing the first captured image to produce a second image, and then verifying that the second image does show an apparent steganographic pattern.

Automated fraudulent altering and photocopying detection utilizing steganographic pattern detection

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for automatically verifying the authenticity and integrity of documents such as but not limited to instant lottery tickets.

A method is disclosed for pseudorandomly generating a streamed video presentation of a draw game from a plurality of previously recorded video fragments where players viewing the streamed video presentation can wager on its outcome. At the conclusion of wagering, a random number generator determines the outcome of the drawing. The method enables the automated generation of a lifelike video draw game with wagering by pseudorandomly generating a scene of the streamed video presentation where player wagering is enabled. After the scene with wagering enabled is completed, another scene is pseudorandomly generated with wagering disabled. At the start of the streaming of the scene with wagering disabled, the connection statuses of all players are verified, with only players with active connections having their wager honored/processed.

Communications integrity of stitched video draw game systems

Systems and methods for enabling secure automated production and redemption of predetermined games of chance with multiple play venues or dimensions, wherein such systems and methods can provide, for example, lottery games (e.g., instant tickets), charitable gaming (e.g., raffles, pull-tabs), casino environments (e.g., 'Class II' gaming), Internet gaming (e.g., poker, online instant tickets), etc.

Secure predetermined game generation

A method and device are disclosed for pseudorandomly generating a streamed video presentation of a draw game from a plurality of previously recorded video fragments. After all wagering is concluded, a random number generator determines the outcome of the drawing. The method and device enable the automated generation of a lifelike video draw game by culling a set of video fragments from a larger plurality, with the culling process at least partially determined by a feedback loop of player preferences. After the culling process is completed, a random number generator pseudorandomly selects video fragments from the culled set creating various scenes comprising the streamed video presentation.

Player controlled culling of video fragments of stitched video draw games

A method and device are disclosed for pseudorandomly generating a streamed video presentation of a draw game from a plurality of previously recorded video fragments using a deterministic random number generator. After all wagering is concluded, a deterministic random number generator also determines the outcome of the drawing. The method and device enable the periodic reseeding of the deterministic random number generator such that each new draw game deterministic random number generator will at least be partially reseeded with a different starting seed than was used in the previous draw game.

Random number generation for stitched video draw game systems

A method and device are disclosed for pseudorandomly generating a streamed video presentation of a draw game from a plurality of previously recorded video fragments. After all wagering is concluded, a random number generator determines the outcome of the drawing. The method and device enable the automated generation of a lifelike video draw game by culling a set of video fragments from a larger plurality, with the culling process at least partially determined by a feedback loop from the previous scene or game. After the culling process is completed, a random number generator pseudorandomly selects video fragments from the culled set creating various scenes comprising the streamed video presentation.

Culling video fragments to produce stitched video games

A method and device are disclosed for providing dual sector authentication for an electronic draw game, allowing a plurality of player devices to interact over a network with front-facing and back-facing entities seamlessly. The front-facing entity ensures player login credentials, maintains a wallet for each player, and provides secure token IDs uniquely identifying each player to the back-facing entity. The back-facing entity pseudorandomly generates draw game video scenes, processes player wagers, and determines the draw game results.

Dual sector authentication of stitched video draw game systems

Systems and methods for enabling the secure use of cryptocurrencies (such as but not limited to Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin) in prize funds or gift cards that accept purchases or wagers in fiat currencies and payout in cryptocurrency. The prize funds can be associated with lotteries, charitable gaming, or casino environments with the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies optionally mitigated and cryptocurrency payouts enabled for consumers or players without prior digital wallets as well as consumers or players with preexisting digital wallets.

Secure funding and payout of cryptographic currency from fiat currency purchases

A full-color protected document, and methods and systems for making same, secured by a removable Scratch-Off Coating, where the protection against document alteration and/or copy type attacks is provided by digitally imaging Benday patterns and/or digital imaged background patterns around the variable indicia. By printing Benday patterns and/or imaged background using the same process color imagers, usability and integrity of the protected document are achieved relative to the consumer's perspective while at the same time providing a more secure, less expensive, and more aesthetically pleasing document design.

Scratch-off document altering and copying countermeasures

A system and method for providing instant games in both physical scratch-off and virtual forms wherein at least a portion of the winning value of the instant game is determined by a plurality of planar layers with the concordance of the planar layers determining value enhancements. The distribution and composition of the concordance of the plurality of planar layers is configured to ensure compliance with a predetermined prize outcome prize fund.
