Methods and apparatus for game play using virtual players, sometimes referred to herein as vBots, is disclosed. In one aspect, a method for game play involves the use of the system electronic system environment described herein, wherein one or more virtual players are displayed to the player of the game, preferably, the virtual players have differing play characteristics, receiving from the user association with a selection of a virtual player, displaying a simulated game using the virtual players, identifying a subset of the virtual players as being winners of the simulated game, and awarding a win to the lottery user if the selected virtual player is in the subset of virtual players. In this way, the player of the game is selecting a virtual player to do the playing of the base game, thereby providing the excitement of player participation in a game of skill or chance, yet not actually be playing the game. Yet another parameter for modified and enhanced game play is the arrangement and presentation of various graphics, symbols, or icons (collectively “indicia”) to the player. The arrangement of the indicia in a predefined arrangement indicates that the player has won. By way of example, a grid or array arrangement may be used wherein the winning combination is a set of indicia arranged in a line, either horizontally in a row, vertically in a column or diagonally. Other patterns using multiple adjoining segments may be used, such as an X-pattern or a T-pattern. Alternatively, a predefined patter of non-adjoining segments may be used, such as where a win includes matches in a four corners or north, south, east and west positions.

The inventions herein relate to novel forms of interaction with an electronic system, such as for games of chance, games of skill, and combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, the existing lottery infrastructure is used in conjunction with electronic remote game play. A system is provided for effecting defined game play and prizing structure parameters in an electronic entertainment environment.

In another mode, the system receives and implements various prizing parameters, such as those that vary the winning and losing experience, and where the frequency of wins is varied by person, by multiple players, by number of plays, by source, by geography, by time, by game, or by any combination thereof. In some modes, a ‘prize board’ is used as a part of the system and methods, where initial game play may be conducted, followed by a prizing phase. The game play phase may be played in a predetermined manner or may be played where the player's actions determine the outcome of the game play phase. Since the system has the ‘last play’, the outcome may be set such that the prizing criteria are met. Game play may be utilized for entry into a prizing phase. Multilevel prizing may be utilized, such as where game play is utilized for entry into more lucrative prizing phases. Optionally, additional wagers may be required for game play for entry into higher prizing levels. In one mode, the identification number provided to the player includes the necessary information and instructions for complete game play.

A system and method for responding to a current overload condition in a power switch provides a class D topology that applies a current sink or current source to the gate of the power switch. The current sink or source decreases or increases current flowing through the power switch to regulate power switch output current in the event of an overload.
