  • Patent number: 10912988
    Abstract: A roulette game enables single-spin formation of meaningful character strings, which character strings may be coupled to tones for enhancing the gaming experience. The meaningful character strings may be defined by solfege-enabling letter groups, which letter groups may prompt underlying tones in solmization. The syllabic roulette game comprises a roulette wheel, a wager-enabling layout, and a plurality of balls. The wheel comprises alphabetic characters against a rainbow colored backdrop for enabling various payout schemes. A color-coordinated wager support surface is preferably disposed adjacent the roulette wheel for facilitating wager placement.

  • Publication number: 20160210815
    Abstract: Various systems and methods enable users to submit bets via a betting matrix comprising a plurality of rows and columns. Each row corresponds to a potential outcome in a first category such as a possible score of a first team, and each column corresponds to a potential outcome in a second category such as a possible score of a second team. A user may enter a bet, e.g., by selecting one or more events and then selecting one or more elements of one or more betting matrices corresponding to the one or more events. The bets may be confirmed substantially when entered, e.g., without regard for any other bet made by any other user.
