  • Publication number: 20110266750
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage to implement a wagering game that involves both cards and dice. A plurality of rows (e.g., six or other amount) can be dealt face down (or up). Players place wager(s) on individual betting areas (circles) that correspond to particular card values. A plurality of dice can be rolled which can be totaled, and the point total of the rolled dice is used to determine which row is selected. The selected row is turned over, and if the cards qualify for a winning payout, then any wager(s) placed on that row is paid a payout.
