  • Patent number: 8360844
    Abstract: A multiple wager, multiple potential winning outcome gaming “Spin Game” platform may be played in its native configuration as well as easily themed to allow variations and adaptations including but not limited to casino table games, sporting teams and events, entertainment, film, television, and celebrities, as well as various other pop-culture fashions and trends. Specific deployments may be used to aid in transitioning “slots only” (or other EGM exclusive) players to active participants in table games by providing a step-by-step confidence building path from individual standalone, to multi-player “Party Style” deployments of the “Spin Game”, and finally to the actual table games themselves. Countdown timers may be configured to encourage and even reward players to place their wagers before the timer reaches zero—when “No More Bets” is called and the “Game Wheel” is spun, thereby ensuring that casino “hands per minute” target goal requirements are met or exceeded.
