Abstract: At least one physical designation (16) associated with an object (12) available in a game draw is mapped to a preferably randomly generated virtual designation (32). The resulting map relating the physical designation (16) to a virtual designation (32) is not available to the game operator. When the physical designation (16) is drawn and entered into the game system (10), the system converts the entered physical designation (16) to the mapped or related virtual designation (32), and this virtual designation is the designation actually used in the play of the game. Thus, the operator is unable to cooperate with a player to cheat in the game by simply calling the physical designation (16) needed by the player to win.

Abstract: Systems and methods for illuminating a platen are provided. A hybrid illumination system uses both diffusion and collimation to efficiently provide a flat, uniform illumination at a platen. One or more diffusers are disposed between the illumination source array and a collimating lens. An illumination system is provided which uses diffused light to illuminate a platen in a print scanner. The illumination system has an illumination source array and a light wedge. The light wedge reflects light internally which makes the illumination even more diffuse. An illumination source array has a plurality of sources that emit blue/green light. In one preferred example, the blue/green light is equal to or approximately equal to 510 nm. Sources are divided into at least a center region and a perimeter region. The density of sources provided in the perimeter region is greater than in the center region to correct for natural light falloff in the illumination system. Intensity control can be preformed individually or in groups.
