  • Patent number: 6688598
    Abstract: A method of playing a wagering game includes providing a set of 30 numerical playing pieces. The set includes three 1's, three 2's, three 3's, three 4's, three 5's, three 6's, three 7's, three 8's, three 9's, and three 0's (zeros). A banker is selected before each round of play. Each player, except the banker, makes a conventional wager. Each player except a participating house dealer can optionally make supplemental bonus wager. After the house dealer distributes three playing pieces to each player, the players set a two playing piece hand and discard the third playing piece. The banker then compares hands and settles wagers with each player. The hand having the highest pair wins (a pair of zero's highest and a pair of 1's lowest), else the playing pieces in each hand are summed and the sum having the highest least significant digit (LSD) wins (nine being highest and zero being lowest).

  • Patent number: 6550772
    Abstract: A method of playing a wagering game and apparatus includes a playing area having four lanes labeled diamonds, clubs, spades, and hearts. Each of the lanes have a plurality of card-receiving stations. A player places a conventional wager upon the lane which he or she believes will be filled with cards first. The player can also place a supplemental or bonus wager. A dealer then deals cards on one or more bonus stations. The dealer next sequentially deals cards face up from the deck, and places the dealt cards on a card-receiving station of the lane which corresponds to suit of the dealt card. The first lane in which all the card-receiving stations are filled is declared the winning lane. The player wins a conventional payoff if he or she placed a conventional wager on the winning lane. The player also wins a supplemental payoff if any of the cards dealt on the bonus stations match the suit of the winning lane, and the player placed a supplemental wager.
