Betting trip game

Abstract

A method to play a game of chance using a map of sites as playing surface with moving pieces called movers. The game rules a plurality of movements. A random draw of one ruled movement moves a mover from one site to another. Players bet on selected movers moving by one or several rounds of drawing to selected sites. The holder of a hanging bet earns credit to place free make-up bets. Formulae to calculate the winning probability of every bet and its payoff and credit will be provided. An automatic computer/video version of the game is included.

1 . A method of playing a game of chance comprising the steps of
 providing a plurality of moving pieces called movers on a playing surface consisting of sites,   providing a plurality of ruled movements,   providing a plurality of obviously manipulation-proof random number generators, such as those used at keno or lottery, one generator for each said mover, one number for each said movement while there can be more than one, but equally many copies of each number,   using said generators to draw random numbers for said movers to move accordingly,   permitting players to place bets on own selected said movers moving to own selected said sites by one or more rounds of drawings,   providing formulae to calculate probabilities for all possible outcomes and payoff for every bet.   
   
   
       2 . A method of playing a game using the steps of  claim 1  and further comprising the steps of
 providing calculation of credit for a hanging bet based on movement probability where a multiround bet is defined as hanging if it contains a selection of movers with movements matching the last round outcomes and is thus in a position to be a winner later on,   permitting the hanging bet holder to use own selected percentage of the hanging bet credit to place free bets.   
   
   
       3 . A method of playing a game of chance using the steps of  claim 1  and further by means of a video game machine or personal computer using TIMER function to randomly determine said movements, where each said movement has the probability of 1/w to be drawn if there are w distinct said movements. 
   
   
       4 . A method of playing a game of chance using the steps of  claim 2  and further by means of a video game machine or personal computer using TIMER function to randomly determine said movements, where each said movement has the probability of 1/w to be drawn if there are w distinct said movements.
