Patent ID: 8632387

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to: present an interface through which a player may establish a wager on a game by choosing a first subset of numbers from a set of numbers, in which the first subset of numbers includes a plurality of numbers; determine the first subset of numbers that define the wager, in which the first subset of numbers are chosen by the player; determine a second subset of numbers of the set of numbers to eliminate in a first round; determine whether the set of numbers without the second subset of numbers includes at least one first number of the first subset of numbers but not all of the first subset of numbers; in response to determining that the set of numbers without the second subset of numbers includes the at least one first number but not all of the first subset of numbers, present the player with an offer to end the game in exchange for a monetary award, in which an amount of the monetary award is based on a first quantity of numbers of the at least one first number remaining in the set of numbers without the second subset of numbers; receive an indication that the player does not accept the offer; determine a third subset of numbers of the set of numbers that are each different from any of the second subset of numbers to eliminate in another round; determine whether a remaining subset of numbers defined by the set of numbers without at least the second subset of numbers and the third subset of numbers includes at least one second number of the first subset of numbers but not all of the first subset of numbers; and in response to determining that the remaining subset of numbers includes the at least one second number but not all of the first subset of numbers, present the player with a monetary award for winning the game, in which an amount of the monetary award for winning the game is based on a second quantity of numbers of the at least one second number remaining in the remaining subset of numbers.
