  • Patent number: 5863044
    Abstract: The specification describes a game comprising a novel method of apportioning an initial stake, wherein a greater proportion of the stake is allocated to a player with the lowest score. It is primarily intended for allocating a donation to charity by playing a game and using the score to determine the individual contributions to the donation. Other donations, collective payments, and the like are also included. Where the "score" is, in fact, a ranking, the method of the invention gives a proportion to be paid back.
