  • Patent number: 5997000
    Abstract: A combined dice and card game utilizes three conventional six-sided dice and a twenty-four card deck formed by removing all cards other than ace, two, three, four, five, and six of a conventional four-suit fifty-two playing card deck. In a preferred embodiment, one of a plurality of players is selected as the banker and posts a fixed sum of money or chips as a bank. Remaining players place bets against the bank. Each player and the banker then receive three cards dealt from the ace through six stripped playing card deck, and subsequently discard one card, leaving each player and the banker with two cards, ranging from ace through six. The banker, and subsequently the players, then roll the dice and attempt to roll an automatically winning dice combination or to establish a winning point, while attempting to avoid rolling an automatically losing dice combination.
