Abstract: A communal gaming system and method has a processor, a central display area for displaying a common wagering event on a communal display facility and at least two individual player wagering terminals configured to enable wagering on the common wagering event. The at least two individual wagering terminals each have individual mechanical components providing individual gaming events and input controls for those individual gaming events.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide a side bet game play method for dice games and particularly Sic Bo. Multiple outcomes may be wagered on for occurrence of Trips. Excess numbers of dice beyond what are needed for a dice game outcome are reduced to the necessary number for use in the dice game by visual identification selection or exclusion by input or automatic processor selection/exclusion.

Abstract: A gaming system provides a wagering venue for multiple wagering positions. A processor executes code to simulate a physical random gaming event outcome using a random number generator. Memory stores three-dimensional video displayable image data of a device for the physical random gaming event outcome. A three-dimensional video display system has a three-dimensional image display field. At least two player input terminals and seating for the player input terminals within the at least 30 degree field of view. The processor i) identifies a wager from a specific player input terminal, ii) initiates generation of an event outcome in a random event outcome game, iii) generates an event outcome simulating a physical random event generating outcome; iv) selects image data from the memory of a three-dimensional event outcome in which the generated simulated physical random event outcome is shown; v) displays the selected image data; and resolves the wager based upon the generated event outcome.

Abstract: Wagering games, bonus games, secondary games and/or progressive games can be enabled on a gaming system having: a set of gaming elements having a readable indicia thereon or a sensing system indicating the presence of a gaming element at a specific location and the generation of a gaming value for a sensed gaming element; a motivating system for physically moving and distributing random individual gaming elements from a set of gaming elements to individual positions within a receptor element; a sensing system configured to sense information on individual gaming elements, the information relating to at least one of game values or symbols; wherein the sensing system is in data communication connectivity with a processor and the processor is configured to determine a specific game value related to a basis for determining a game outcome.

Abstract: A roulette gaming wheel has at least three concentric components: a) a set of pockets for capturing a roulette ball; b) a set of alphanumerics contiguous to the set of pockets, with one alphanumeric available for each pocket; and c) a track for allowing a roulette ball to spin around and then to drop into one pocket when gravity causes the ball to fall into a pocket; wherein, a wheel supporting the set of pockets spins independently of the set of alphanumerics.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
