Abstract: A method of dealing a card game is taught wherein cards are used in place of dice. The cards are dealt to locations on a table and a randomizing event is used to select from one or more of the dealt cards which appear on a gaming table. To allow the player to exercise some control, one or more cards are selected to determine a roll utilizing a random method; such as dice, a spinning wheel, selection of a space at random or a random number generator. A method is used to select a card based on the selection of the space on which the card is dealt. A method of dealing a card game is taught wherein cards representing dice having a least four sides are utilized using variations of rules for games such as 1) traditional craps game, 2) Four The Money game, 3) high low craps, or 4) roulette. By repeatedly shuffling either two sets of six cards numbered 1 through 6, or one set of 36 cards (representing all of the rolls of a set of two six sided dice) traditional craps rules may be followed.

Abstract: An electronic poker game assembly preferably provides a head-to-head poker game for two players. The assembly has a housing that is preferably a table and contains at least a portion of a computer system that generates and shuffles a virtual poker card deck, deals the cards and performs other tasks typically associated with a dealer. The housing supports an electronic player interaction area (EPIA) for each player and a common display area. Dealt virtual hole cards are displayed on screens of each EPIA and virtual common cards are preferably displayed on a screen of the common display area. Mechanical actuators for each EPIA are operated by the players when playing poker, sending electric signals to the computer system for play of the game.

Abstract: A method of dealing a card game is taught wherein cards representing dice having a least four sides are utilized using variations of rules for games such as 1) traditional craps game, 2) Four The Money game, high low craps, or roulette. By repeatedly shuffling either two sets of six cards numbered 1 through 6, or one set of 36 cards (representing all of the rolls of a set of two six sided dice) traditional craps rules may be followed. Also taught is a roulette game which is played by having cards representing the numbered slots of a roulette game. A user is allowed to pre-select a space from a plurality of spaces into which a pre-determined number of cards are dealt in order to determine the number generated in place of a dice roll while still allowing user interaction in the random decision. Electronic monitoring card numbers, storage of card numbers, and the display of prior outcomes is also discussed. Comparison of the stored information to wagers is made to determine when wagers are won.

Abstract: A dice game embodied in a table or slot machine format utilizing spinning wheels or slots to generate numbers based multiple repetitions or a count of numbers prior to novel termination and payout events. The preferred embodiment differs from traditional craps in that there is no requirement of a repeated number roll for a win. In one embodiment, a number other than seven, the target number, can be rolled on two six sided dice, numbered on sides from 1-6, in a tournament style fashion over a selected calendar period to win the primary wager. These games include counting the rolls on different players and comparing those rolls and making an award to the player making (a) the most rolls, (b) the most points, (c) the fewest points or rolls or (d) enhanced pay outs for higher targets during a limited (e.g. 4) number of dice rolls. A video layout is disclosed which replaces traditional displays with multiple dice rolls in a novel fashion otherwise consistent with the disclosure herein.
