Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant à des concurrents de personnaliser ce qu'ils peuvent gagner, et collectant des données démographiques concernant les concurrents au moyen de dispositifs Internet très répandus ou d'une nouvelle machine à sous dans un casino. Les concurrents ont l'occasion de gagner des points et/ou des valeurs économiques qu'ils peuvent échanger contre différents prix pouvant les intéresser, les concurrents axant décidé de jouer pour ces prix. Une pluralité de prix peut être choisie dans une pluralité de catégories. Lorsque les concurrents jouent aux jeux de hasard, une série de publicité leur est présentée. Ces publicités sont choisies en fonction de la propension d'achat de chaque concurrent. Lorsque les concurrents jouent aux jeux de hasard, le système infère les propensions supplémentaires de chaque concurrent et les stocke pour une réduction ultérieure. Les données réduites sont ensuite vendues en tant que données de commercialisation avec une liste d'utilisateurs système comportant le nom, l'adresse, le numéro de téléphone, l'adresse électronique, et des informations de jeu et similaires. Le système est implémenté au moyen d'un paradigme client-serveur. Un serveur conserve les bases de données nécessaires pour suivre tous les concurrents enregistrés sur le système. Le dispositif client comportant la nouvelle machine à sous utilise un navigateur web standard pour extraire et afficher des pages web au concurrent. La plupart des pages web ont un programme JavaScript attaché mettant en oeuvre la fonction selon l'invention. D'autres pages web rencontrées par les concurrents comprennent un interpréteur de commande pour une mini-application Java réalisant un jeu de hasard. Par l'intermédiaire du navigateur web, ces mini-applications Java mettant en oeuvre un jeu de hasard sont universelles afin d'homogénéiser l'interface utilisateur sur une large gamme de plate-formes de matériel informatique.A method and device for allowing competitors to customize what they can earn, and collecting competitor demographics using popular Internet devices or a new slot machine at a casino. Competitors have the opportunity to earn points and / or economic values that they can redeem for different prizes that may interest them, with competitors choosing to play for those prizes. A plurality of awards may be selected from a plurality of categories. When competitors play games of chance, a series of advertising is presented to them. These advertisements are chosen according to the purchasing propensity of each competitor. When competitors play games of chance, the system infers the additional propensities of each competitor and stores them for further reduction. The reduced data is then sold as marketing data with a list of system users including the name, address, phone number, email address, and game information and the like. The system is implemented using a client-server paradigm. A server maintains the necessary databases to track all competitors registered on the system. The client device featuring the new slot machine uses a standard web browser to retrieve and display web pages to the competitor. Most web pages have an attached JavaScript program implementing the function of the invention. Other web pages encountered by competitors include an interpreter command for a Java mini-application performing a game of chance. Through the web browser, these Java mini-applications implementing a game of chance are universal to homogenize the user interface on a wide range of hardware platforms.
