2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitters with non-overlapping transmission areas transmit the game state data message simultaneously.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each transmitter is located such that the wireless receiver is able to receive the game state message from at least two of the plurality of transmitters.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the game state message from each transmitter in sequence is repeated until the game state changes.
5. The method of claim 1 , further including generating an updated game state message when an event occurs that changes game state.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising passing the updated game state message to the plurality of transmitters.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising transmitting from each transmitter in sequence the updated game state data message to a wireless receiver.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein transmitting the updated game state data message from each transmitter in sequence is repeated until the game state changes.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the game state data message comprises information describing a game state in a game played on a remote game device.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a plurality of values, the values used in game play.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the game state data message includes a race number.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the game state data message includes status information.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the game state data message includes a game number.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the game state data message includes a game name.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the game state data message includes information describing win levels.
21. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a header.
22. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a session number.
23. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a number of balls called during the game.
24. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a game identifier.
25. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a pattern identifier.
26. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a current precall number.
27. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes a verification.
28. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message further includes date information.
29. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes time information.
30. The method of claim 9 , wherein the game state data message includes number of games information.
