The N2 design markings are divided into N subgroups such that each attribute value of each attribute series comprises only one design marking in each of the subgroups. The N design markings of each subgroup are borne by a multiple of N faces of a different die. Each design marking is borne by the same multiple of faces.

Abstract: A card game of Blackjack including a novel side wager. If a Player has made the side wager, two dice are rolled. If the sum of the two rolled dice is 2, 3 or 12, the side bet is automatically lost similar to the Come-Out roll in the game of craps. If the dice sum is 7 or 11, the side bet is automatically won. If the dice sum is anything other, a Point is established. As in traditional Blackjack, each Player is dealt two cards face up, and the Dealer is dealt two cards—one face up. A Player wins the side bet if one of their dealt cards has a face value equal to the Point, or if the sum of their dealt cards equals the Point. Several variations on the basic game method are described. According to one variation, the side wager is resolved uniformly for all Players that have made the optional side wager based on the Dealer's initial up card or on the Dealer's first two cards when both are revealed.

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 (½) of the wager is returned to the player unless dice doubles were rolled, in which case the entire wager is returned.

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.

Abstract: A dice game, playable on a table at a casino or on a computer, kiosk, or machine, utilizes a pair of twenty-sided dice. The dice are rolled in an initial roll and the values shown on the dice are summed together to provide an initial roll value. If the initial roll value is a 19, 20, or 21, then a payout is made on a wager. If the initial roll value is 2-18 or 22-40, then that number is set as the point. Play is limited to four subsequent rolls in which the goal is to re-roll the point before rolling a twenty. If the point is rolled during the subsequent rolls, then a payout is made on the wager. Furthermore, a payout on the wager is also made if a 19 or 21 is rolled during the subsequent rolls.

Abstract: A game is comprised of a plurality of stages. Each operation of the game begins with the operation of a first stage.
