Filed:

Appl. No.:

12/268610

Inventors:

Michael S. Templeman - Trabuco Canyon CA, US

International Classification:

A63F 1/00
A63F 9/24

US Classification:

273292, 463 16

Abstract:

In one embodiment of the invention, a card and dice game allows a player to bet on the outcome of a comparison of a numerical value determined by a roll of dice and another numerical value determined by a card drawn from a deck. The player wagers that the card value either will be higher or lower than the dice value. An optional secondary or “bonus” wager can be made after the dice are rolled, but before the card is drawn. The payout on the bonus wager has the potential of being a high multiple of the bonus bet amount, depending upon the dice value and the resulting probability that the upcoming card value will be greater or lower than the dice value.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A card and dice game allows a player to bet on the outcome of a comparison of a numerical value determined by a roll of one or more dice and another numerical value determined by a card drawn from a deck. The player wagers that the difference between the card value and the dice value will be greater than or equal to a predetermined amount whereupon the wager wins. If the difference between the card value and the dice value is less than the predetermined amount, the wager loses. The payout on the wager has the potential of being a high multiple of the bet amount, depending upon the magnitude of the difference between the card value and the die value, where greater magnitudes result in larger payouts.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00
A63F 9/04

US Classification:

463 22, 273146

Abstract:

In a card and dice game, dice are rolled to provide a die value between 2 and 12, inclusive, according to this embodiment. After the player makes a wager, a card is dealt face up, thereby displaying a card value of 1 to 13, inclusive. The player wins the wager if the card value is less than the die value and if the die value is less than a predetermined value. Similarly the player wins the wager if the card value is greater than the die value and if the die value is greater than the predetermined value. Otherwise the player loses the wager. If there is a tie (i.e., if the die value and the card value are equal), then one half () of the wager is returned to the player unless dice doubles were rolled, in which case the entire wager is returned.

Abstract:

A player wagers on the outcome of a comparison of two random numbers that are generated using a plurality of random number generating devices. According to one embodiment the random number generating devices comprise dice and cards. A player bets on the outcome of a comparison of a numerical value generated by a roll of two dice and another numerical value generated by the selection of a card from a deck of cards. At the beginning of play the player places multiple wagers based upon a prediction as to whether the dice value or the card value will be higher. During each round of play, opportunities are provided to withdraw one or more of the wagers.
