Patent ID: 7473176

Claim:
A method for generating a seed set for a central determination gaming system, said method comprising: (a) providing at least one criteria for the seed set to be generated; (b) randomly generating a number of seeds, wherein each seed is deterministic of a game outcome value; (c) simulating the game outcome value for each generated seed in the seed set; (d) determining if the simulated game outcome values of said seed set satisfy said criteria; (e) storing the generated seed set for distribution to the central determination gaming system, if the criteria is satisfied by said seed set; (f) selecting at least one generated seed, if the criteria is not satisfied by said seed set; (g) removing the selected seed from the seed set, if the criteria is not satisfied by said seed set; (h) randomly generating at least one new seed, if the criteria is not satisfied by said seed set; (i) adding the newly generated seed to the seed set, if the criteria is not satisfied by said seed set; and (j) repeating steps (c) to (j) at least once if the criteria is not satisfied by said seed set.
