Abstract
A device for playing a game of chance comprises a plurality of roulette wheels each spinnable to provide a result, and an accumulator for calculating and outputting a sum of the results of the roulette wheels. The result is a game of chance that has a bell curve of odds for the available outcomes, permitting maximum prizes which are high relative to what is currently available for this kind of game.
Claims19
A method of playing roulette using a plurality of wheels having discrete stopping positions, each stopping position being a discernable result, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one player's prediction of an accumulated result possible for the plurality of wheels,
- operating said plurality of wheels to cause each wheel to reach one of its stopping positions at random, thereby to give one of said discernable results,
- calculating an accumulated result for the plurality of wheels by adding said discernable results, and
- comparing said accumulated result with said at least one player's prediction to identify a winning prediction.
A method of providing a game of chance having a non-linear mapping of probabilities to each of a plurality of different outcomes, the method comprising:
- using a plurality of wheels having discrete stopping positions, each stopping position being a discernable result, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one player's prediction of an accumulated result possible for the plurality of wheels,
- operating said plurality of wheels to cause each wheel to reach one of its stopping positions at random, thereby to give one of said discernable results,
- calculating an accumulated result for the plurality of wheels by adding said discernable results, said accumulated result providing said outcome, and
- comparing said outcome with said at least one player's prediction to identify a winning prediction.
A device for playing a game of chance comprising:
- a plurality of roulette wheels each spinnable to provide a result, and
- an accumulator for calculating and outputting a sum of the results of said plurality of roulette wheels.
A method of providing a game of chance having a non-linear mapping of probabilities to each of a plurality of different outcomes, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of roulette wheels each spinnable to provide a result, and
- providing an accumulator, in association with said plurality of roulette wheels, for calculating a current one of said plurality of different outcomes, said current outcome comprising a sum of the results of said plurality of roulette wheels.
