## Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a wagering game which involve providing a plurality of game pieces, intermediate game events, and intermediate game event modifiers for each of the game pieces, wherein each intermediate game event modifier is associated with a distinct intermediate game event; receiving one or more wagers relating to a final game outcome; randomly generating a value for each of the distinct intermediate game events; determining an intermediate game event result for each game piece, wherein the intermediate game event result includes the randomly generated value as modified by the intermediate game event modifier for the distinct intermediate game event; determining a final game outcome for each game piece, wherein the final game outcome is the total of each of the distinct intermediate game event results; and resolving the one or more wagers received based on the final game outcome.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of providing a wagering game comprising the steps of:
a) providing a plurality of game pieces, wherein each game piece has a distinguishing feature;
b) providing a plurality of intermediate game events;
c) providing a plurality of intermediate game event modifiers for each of the game pieces, wherein each intermediate game event modifier of the plurality is associated with a distinct intermediate game event of the plurality of intermediate game events;
c) receiving one or more wagers relating to a final game outcome;
d) randomly generating a value for each of the distinct intermediate game events;
e) determining an intermediate game event result for each game piece, wherein the intermediate game event result includes the randomly generated value as modified by the intermediate game event modifier for the distinct intermediate game event;
f) determining a final game outcome for each game piece, wherein the final game outcome is the total of each of the distinct intermediate game event results; and
g) resolving the one or more wagers received based on the final game outcome.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of intermediate game event modifiers for each of the game pieces is randomly determined.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the values randomly generated for each of the distinct intermediate game events is randomly generated from within a preset range of values.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A method as recited in claim 1, further comprising the step of displaying the respective pluralities of game pieces, intermediate game events and intermediate game event modifiers in tabular form.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A method as recited in claim 1, further comprising the step of displaying wagering odds after the step of providing a plurality of intermediate game event modifiers.

### Claim 6

A system for providing a wagering game comprising:
a) a display for displaying a plurality of game pieces, wherein each game piece has a distinguishing feature; a plurality of intermediate game events; and a plurality of intermediate game event modifiers for each of the game pieces, wherein each intermediate game event modifier of the plurality is associated with a distinct intermediate game event of the plurality of intermediate game events;
b) a communication device for receiving one or more wagers relating to a final game outcome; and
c) a processor for randomly generating a value for each of the distinct intermediate game events; determining an intermediate game event result for each game piece, wherein the intermediate game event result includes the randomly generated value as modified by the intermediate game event modifier for the distinct intermediate game event; determining a final game outcome for each game piece, wherein the final game outcome is the total of each of the distinct intermediate game event results; and resolving the one or more wagers received based on the final game outcome.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

A system as recited in claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to randomly generate the plurality of intermediate game event modifiers for each of the game pieces.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

A system as recited in claim 6, wherein the display, communication device and processor are mounted in a housing.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

A system as recited in claim 6, wherein the display and communication device are remotely connected for communication with the processor.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

A system as recited in claim 6, wherein the communication device is further configured for providing a payout.
