Abstract
A horse-race-simulating parlor, casino or the like game of pure chance, comprising a combination of a pair of dice which can be rolled to eleven numbers, from 2 to 12, and a play-board having thereon eleven play-numbers, from 2 through 12, representing eleven horses, and a finish-number which is the lowest common multiple of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 representing ways in which said eleven horse-numbers can be rolled by the dice or is a multiple of such lowest-common-multiple, and having a chance-equalizing number for each play-number or horse-number, which chance-equalizing number is said lowest-common-multiple divided by the number of ways the play-number can be rolled by the dice.
Claims21
A horse-race-simultaing parlour and casino game of pure chance which can optionally be played as a race of any integral number of furlongs, and in which each of eleven horses has mathematically the same chance or probability of coming in first (or to "win") and has mathematically the same chance or probability of coming in second (or to "place") and has mathematically the same chance or probability of coming in third or to "show"), comprising a combination of a pair of dice which can be rolled to eleven numbers, from 2 through 12, and a play-panel having thereon eleven horse-numbers, from 2 through 12, means on the play-panel for indicating a finish-number which is a furlong-number-multiple of the lowest common multiple of the numbers representing the ways in which said eleven horse-numbers can be rolled by the dice, and the play-panel having thereon a chance-equalizing gallop-length-number for each horse which is said lowest-common-multiple divided by the number of ways the horse-number can be rolled by the dice.
