French term or phrase: duplicant

I am doing a presentation on lottery-type games. Several of the games are described as 'très duplicants". Does these mean that they can easily be copied (by other games) or that they are addictive, or something else?
Thanks
Chris

Duplicate/ can be played in duplicate mode / duplicate game players

Explanation:
Should have been "duplicate"

"Le jeu en DUPLICATE permet à tout le monde de jouer avec un même tirage, les chances sont donc égales pour tous,

"Duplicate Scrabble is a variant of the board game Scrabble where all the players are faced with the same board and letters at the same time and must play the highest scoring word they can find. Although duplicate is rarely played at competition level in English, it is the most popular form of the game in French and is also played in other languages,

Ce genre de partie est plus équitable pour dresser un classement puisque tout le monde part avec les mêmes chances. "

Pour jouer en duplicate, chaque joueur doit disposer de son propre jeu et la partie est dirigée par un arbitre qui impose ses tirages. Chacun cherche pendant un temps déterminé, de une à trois minutes selon la compétition, le mot rapportant le meilleur score. Il marque alors les points de son mot, mais continue la partie en plaçant sur sa grille la solution idéale, généralement proposée par l'ordinateur de l'arbitre.

"Tu peux jouer en duplicate, c'est à dire que tous les joueurs ont le même jeu en main ..."
Scrabble, blackjack, poker, tarot, etc.
