          Application No. 08/139,619                                                  


          display 44.  Figure 2 shows live game display 44.  As stated,               
          supra, Hedges discloses live game display 44 to include a                   
          remote controlled television monitor such as the monitor 21 of              
          figure 1.  It is not altogether clear from the disclosure of                
          Hedges as to whether TV 21 and live game display 44 are the                 
          same, since TV 21 is the television viewed by the player using              
          the playboard.  We find it unlikely that the player would be                
          simultaneously viewing two TVs displaying the same                          
          information, and consider both 21 and 44 to represent a                     
          display of a live game in the casino.                                       
               We additionally find that in figure 2 of Hedges, numeral               
          20, indicating remote gaming terminal 20, should actually                   
          reflect remote player station 10, and that playboard 20 of                  
          figure 1 is the same as playboard 40 of figure 2.  Hedges                   
          further discloses that the playboard 20-3 (figure 6) displays               
          the wagering possibilities, accepts the wagers from the                     
          player, and displays the result of the game (col. 3, lines 40-              
          45).  In figure 9, the processor 41 of figure 2 is disclosed                
          in greater detail (col. 2, lines 45 and 46).  Figure 9                      
          discloses microprocessor 90, program memory 91, and temporary               
          storage memory 92, which provides means for accessing the
