Electrical device applied to games of chance

Abstract

Abstract A portable housing (11) comprises memory means capable of storing at least one reference datum, and comparison means capable of comparing the said reference datum with a game datum entered by the player via a communication interface, one of these two data being a randomly generated value. A winnings indication depending at least on the result of the said comparison is stored in the memory means and housing-encryption means are capable, in response to a received predetermined payment request indication (PRI), of establishing a first encrypted winnings value on the basis of the said winnings indication. A station (12), external to the housing (11), comprises an input/output system-interface (17) capable of cooperating with the interface of the housing, and system-processing means (16) capable, in the presence of a payment request emanating from the player, of reading the said winnings indication contained in the memory means of the housing. System-encryption means (19), the counterpart of the housing-encryption means, establish a second encrypted winnings value on the basis of the said read winnings indication. Actual payment of the winnings to the player is conditional upon the agreement of the two encrypted winnings values. <IMAGE>
