Method of Playing Game Variation Over Multiple Rounds With Player Decision Rule

Abstract

A variation on roulette, craps, sic bo, the big wheel or any other casino game of no-skill using randomization without replacement and methods of playing variations on such games as described herein. The variation involves normal play of the underlying game. Additional play is made possible due to the method laid out within this document. Additional bets whose outcomes depend on more than one spin/roll are available, and the player is given the option of doubling up after seeing a number(s) just spun/rolled. Thus an element of skill is added to the otherwise purely “luck-driven” play of the underlying game. Underlying games may be themselves variations of other games.

1 . A method of playing a game, comprising: a) an underlying game with equally likely repeated random rounds, and one or more random number and event generators; b) a tertiary game; c) a pay table for the tertiary game defined on a function of the elementary outcomes over a specified set of rounds of the underlying game; d) placing one or more wagers on the tertiary game; e) generating one or more random numbers or events corresponding to the underlying game; f) a decision the player can invoke between rounds of the underlying game; and g) resolving wagers accordingly to game rules. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (f) further comprises the decision that modifies one or more tertiary game wagers by doubling, tripling, quadrupling, halving, fractionizing or following any other mathematical function, whereby varying the tertiary game wager up or down by some amount. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (f) further comprises the decision that modifies one or more tertiary game wagers by forfeiting any of the wagers. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (f) further comprises the decision that modifies one or more tertiary game wagers by multiplying by one. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (f) further comprises the decision that is vacuous. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (f) further comprises the decision that modifies the pay table for the tertiary game by varying the tertiary game pay table odds up or down. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the random number and event generator is one or more decks of cards repeatedly shuffled, one or more dice, one or more coins, one or more tiles, a roulette wheel, a sporting event, a horse race, a meteorological event, or a computer. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (c) further comprises the function to follow a mathematical function. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the mathematical function is addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, absolute value, or modulo arithmetic. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (c) further comprises the function to be a mapping into a set of poker-style hands. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (c) further comprises the function to be a mapping onto itself or the identity function. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1  wherein step (a) further comprises the underlying game to be roulette, the big wheel, craps, sic bo or any other game of no-skill with equally likely repeated random rounds. 
     
     
         13 . A method of playing a game, comprising:
 a) beginning the game with equally repeated rounds;   b) combining events from either a predetermined or arbitrary number of sequential rounds;   c) forming a compound outcome from elementary events;   d) placing at least one wager that the compound outcome is an element contained within one of a multitude of subsets of a group of predetermined compound outcomes;   e) deciding within some or none of the rounds sandwiched between the first and last round to modify the at least one wager utilizing any mathematical function;   f) awarding the player the modified at least one wager if the compound outcome is one element contained within the subset of the group of predetermined compound outcomes; and   g) denying the player the modified at least one wager if the compound outcome is contained outside the subset of the group of predetermined compound outcomes.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein step (e) further comprises the function being the product of the at least one wager and of any real number greater than or equal to zero. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein step (c) further comprises the compound outcome being a mathematical function. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the mathematical function is addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, absolute value, or modulo arithmetic. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13  wherein step (c) further comprises the compound outcome to be a poker-style hand. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13  wherein step (c) further comprises the compound outcome to be vacuous. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13  wherein step (c) further comprises the compound outcome to be identical to its elementary events.
