Abstract

A process is provided for generating a plurality of gaming card arrays, each formed of a plurality of symbols positioned in predetermined symbol display locations, in a plurality of remote devices connected to a main station. The process includes the steps of developing a plurality of seeds (20) to be utilized as input for generating gaming card arrays, and generating (24), at each remote device, gaming card arrays in accordance with input received from the main station, utilizing a pseudo-random number generator seeded by at least a portion of the plurality of seeds. In one preferred form, a pre-processor (14) is utilized to screen potential seeds (22) and save only those capable of creating unique gaming card arrays in a seed list. The seed list is then accessed when needed and seeds, together with other operational data, are transferred to the remote devices whereat the gaming card arrays are created and stored for use.
