of the player entries via the agent terminal. In Hedges, the
display controller and digital processor display information
relating to the management of the game, and not information
representing progress of the wagering game, as required by
claim 15. Similarly, the data memory means 92, program memory
means 91, control logic circuit 93, etc., are operable to
display information relating to the management of the wagering
game and not the display of information respecting progress of
the wagering game, as required by claim 15.
Turning to Tillery, with regard to the statement by the
examiner that Tillery discloses plural agent terminals, this
feature is met by playboard 20 of figure 1 of Hedges, and we
need not rely upon Tillery for this feature. With regard to
the examiner's assertion that receivers 50 of Tillery are non-
interactive displays, we agree with appellants for the reasons
set forth in the brief (page 11) that the non-master dart
games 50 of Tillery are interactive with the player because
they represent a game that is played, and provide players with
game scores, etc. Thus, we find that Tillery lends nothing to
the teachings of Hedges.
