  • Patent number: 8256771
    Abstract: A mechanical calculator that computes payouts for combinations of roulette bets. A number wheel (50) has an array of payout numbers (54) for a combinations of two types of bets over a range of chips, such as up to 20 chips on a street bet and up to 20 chips on a line bet. A mask wheel (40) overlays the number wheel (50).

  • Publication number: 20090115134
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of playing a game of chance called Baccarat which allows a player to make a separate wager in addition to the traditional base wager to potentially increase the player's winnings by allowing the player to make a separate wager on betting on what the total number of cards that will be dealt to both the Player and Dealer's Hands will be (i.e., a total of four (4), five (5) or six (6) cards). If a total of four cards are dealt and the player bets correctly, then the Player will be paid even money (i.e., $1.00 for every $1.00 bet or a total of $2.00 on a $1.00 wager). If a total of five or six cards are dealt and the player bets correctly, then the Player will be paid $1.50 for every $1.00 wagered (i.e., a total of $2.50 on a $1.00 wager).
