Patent ID: 7749062

Claim:
A computer-controlled game comprising: a computer system; at least one conduit, each of the at least one conduit defining a predetermined closed path, the predefined path defining at least two loops and at least one intersection joining the at least two loops; at least one racer, each of the at least one racer being controlled by the computer system to race along the at least one conduit from a start location, the at least one racer being controlled by the computer system to race within the at least one conduit along the at least two loops and crossing the at least one intersection, the at least one racer being controlled to stop at a random stop location along the at least one conduit; a plurality of selectable features, the plurality of selectable features being disposed at least one of within, along and adjacent the at least one conduit, one of the plurality of selectable features being disposed at each of the at least one intersection; user interaction means for selectively highlighting at least one of the plurality of selectable features; means for linking selected ones of the plurality of features; means for selectively placing bets on the selected features and linked features; means for starting the computer-controlled game; means for determining an outcome coupled to the computer system, the outcome being determined in accordance with the bets placed and the stop location of each of the at least one racer, wherein the racer has a greater probability of stopping at the intersection than at other ones of the stop locations and wherein the outcome determining means is configured to take at least the greater probability into account when determining the outcome when the random stop location is at the intersection.
