Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de jeu (1) et une méthode de jeu, dans lesquels une pluralité de terminaux de jeu (8) mobiles portables transmettent chacun au moyen d'un module de communication (88) par un réseau de téléphonie mobile des données de jeu de participants à une centrale de jeu électronique (4), qui détermine un vainqueur et des montants de gain revenant à ces vainqueurs sur la base de règles de jeu prédéfinies et des données de jeu de participants. Ce système de jeu (1) comprend au moins un émetteur radio (2) conçu pour diffuser des programmes radio et/ou télévisés et des données associées aux programmes (PAD et/ou NPAD). L'émetteur radio (2) présente un moyen permettant d'insérer des modules de programme de participation au jeu dans les données associées aux programmes (PAD et/ou NPAD). Les terminaux de jeu (8) présentent chacun un récepteur (82) destiné à recevoir les programmes radio et/ou télévisés et les données associées aux programmes (PAD et/ou NPAD), un moyen de filtrage (84) pour l'extraction de modules de programme de participation au jeu insérés dans des données associées aux programmes reçues (PAD et/ou NPAD) et un processeur (87) conçu pour exécuter les modules de programme de participation au jeu extraits. Selon cette invention, des instructions de jeu entrées par des participants à l'aide de moyens de saisie (81, 83) des terminaux de jeu (8) sont acceptées par les modules de programme de participation au jeu et des données de jeu de participants correspondantes sont générées pour être transmises à la centrale de jeu (4).
