Glossary<br />

Term or Abbreviation Description<br />

Interactive <strong>Gaming</strong> System (IGS) - The hardware, software, firmware, communications<br />

technology and other equipment which allows a player to remotely bet or wager through the<br />

Internet or a similarly distributed networking environment, and the corresponding equipment<br />

related to game outcome determination, the display of the game and game outcomes, and other<br />

similar information necessary to facilitate play of the game. The term does not include computer<br />

equipment or communications technology used by a player to access the interactive gaming<br />

system.<br />

<strong>Gaming</strong> Platform - The interactive gaming system hardware and software which drives the<br />

features common to all games offered, and which forms the primary interface to the gaming<br />

system for both the player and the operator. The gaming platform provides the player with the<br />

means to register an account, log in to / out of their account, modify their account information,<br />

deposit and withdraw funds to / from their account, request account activity statements / reports,<br />

and close their account. In addition, any web pages displayed to the player that relate to gaming<br />

offered on the IGS, but are not an actual game screen, are considered to be part of the gaming<br />

platform. The gaming platform provides the operator with the means to review player accounts,<br />

enable / disable games, generate various gaming / financial transaction and account reports, input<br />

game outcomes for sports betting events, enable / disable player accounts, and set any<br />

configurable parameters.<br />

Background Cycling / Activity - If the software-based RNG is cycling in the background, it<br />

means that there is a constant string of random numbers being generated by the RNG, even if<br />

they are not actually required by the game at that time. Without background cycling / activity,<br />

one could predict the result of the next iteration of the function used to produce the random<br />

numbers if the current values and the algorithm were known.<br />
