Appl. No.:

10/143587

Inventors:

Kenneth A. Scott - Scottsdale AZ 85259
Lawrence A. Krause - Scottsdale AZ 85259

International Classification:

A63B 6936

US Classification:

Abstract:

A system and method for improving a golfers putt is provided. Included is a ball, putter, and ball marker, each of which bear directional indicia, such as arrows or triangles. The indicia of the various elements are aligned toward the hole, with the indicia of each element creating a desired directional path. The golfer uses the directional path created by the proper alignment of one or more elements to aim his or her putt. Furthermore, the directional indicia of the golf ball are designed to blend together when the ball is hit in the direction of the indicia, but create a swirl pattern when the ball is mis-hit for visualization of proper and improper putting.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

273274000, 463025000

Abstract:

A method and device for conducting a game of chance using game indicia, e.g. faces of a die, includes displaying an array of game indicia positions, such as a 3×3 array representing nine dice. Players place one or more proposition wagers. A game indicium is randomly selected for each position. Line propositions are satisfied if a designated subset of the array, e.g. a row, column, or diagonal contains designated game indicia. Optionally, players are only rewarded for line propositions fulfilled on active lines. Pattern propositions are satisfied by game indicia appearing in selected patterns in the array. Optionally, pattern propositions require the player to specify the game indicia appearing the pattern or reward the player for any game indicia appearing in the selected pattern. Board propositions are satisfied by game indicia appearing across the array. Players are rewarded for propositions fulfilled.
