  • Patent number: 8622808
    Abstract: A wagering game is played with three wheels having three parallel but not coincident axes of rotation. Each wheel is spun so they are spinning at the same time. Wagers are placed on any one, two or three of the spinning wheels to predict outcomes of symbol identification on each of the wheels. Each wheel may be similar to a Big 6 wheel.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130316794
    Abstract: A gaming system comprising a) two adjacent video display screen surfaces, the two adjacent video display screen surfaces sharing a common support base; b) two separate player input controls; c) a common processor in information communication link with each of the two separate screens and the common processor; d) the processor configured to execute code to receive wagers from each of the two player input controls on a single common game or separate wagering game, and to execute code so that a single common game or separate wagering game is concluded; f) the processor configured to display resolutions of each of the wagers on respective ones of the two adjacent video display screens.

  • Publication number: 20130281177
    Abstract: A method and apparatus provides a wagering game. Steps may include: a. providing a game field and a position indicator on the game field; b. positioning the position indictor on a first position on the game field; c. accepting a wager on a game event; d. providing a first random event outcome, including moving the position indicator on the field from the first position to a second position; e. repeating a first additional random event outcome providing instruction for moving the position indicator from the second position on the game field to a third position; f. repeating at least one additional random event outcome that provides instruction for moving the position indicator from the third position in a direction on the game field to a fourth position; and g. determining an outcome on the wager based on a final position on the game field.

  • Publication number: 20130225254
    Abstract: A system and process for effecting a side bet game during play of an underlying game of craps. The side bet wagers are paid at odds for achievement of consecutive random outcome events after establishment of the Point, with the random outcome events being selected from the non-repeating group consisting of remaining available value numbers of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. Making the original Point may provide an even higher level of resolution of the wager.

  • Patent number: 8360431
    Abstract: A shuffling apparatus comprising: at least three card holders, each adapted to hold at least one deck of cards; a conveying mechanism adapted to convey cards between each card holder and at least two other card holders, the conveying mechanism controllable to select a destination card holder of the at least two card holders; and a controller arranged to control the conveying mechanism in a shuffling mode in which cards are sent between a source card holder and selected ones of the at least two destination card holders.

  • Publication number: 20120080843
    Abstract: A gaming device with orbs for the generation of a greater number of results is disclosed. The device draws out numbers in a single playing cycle in various games where a greater number of orbs are used and the result depends on the numbers that are marked in the openings by randomly laying orbs. The balls are, as a rule, of two dimensions—wherein the balls with the smaller dimensions are in the game for reasons of better scattering and greater attractiveness, while the balls with the greater diameter that represent the result or the drawn numbers are retained in random holes on the plate of the cylinder with the help of the offset plate of the cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20110039612
    Abstract: Electro-mechanical and video table games of chance send video feeds of game play and digital representations of results of game play by network communications to remote clients that receive wagers placed upon the result of the game play and derives a winning or a loss from both the wager and the digital representation of the result of the game play. The table game can include a roulette wheel, a roulette style ball, a device for rotating the roulette wheel at randomly changing rotational speeds, and a device for mechanically propelling the roulette style ball onto the rotating wheel at randomly changing velocities and spins. Also included can be a platform for supporting a die having a plurality of surfaces each bearing indicia unique to that on the other surfaces, and a device for randomly changing the movement and speed of the platform relative to the die.

  • Publication number: 20100222145
    Abstract: A game controller comprising: a plurality of random result generators, whereby a separate game is playable using each one of the random result generators; and a game play coordinator adapted to, when two or more games are selected for play by a player, for each selected game, trigger the random result generator used for the relevant game to generate a random result for the game, such that two or more games are simultaneously playable by the player.
