Abstract

A system for controlling a game operation comprises a secure processing and memory apparatus (10) in the form of a smart card, together with non-secure input (26) and display (36) means connectable to the smart card. The memory (18, 20, 22) of the smart card (10) stores software controlling the operation of the game and also data relating to gains or losses of the player. Input signals generated by the player are processed within the secure processor (14) and all operations which can influence the outcome of the game are carried out within the secure processor (14) so that the system is not susceptible to tampering, even when used in a non-secure environment. Thus, the system allows gaming to take place in hotel rooms and other non-secure locations, with secure betting and allocation of winnings.
