US 5,700,010 A · Method of playing a dice wagering game

Abstract

A dice game employing a single die. The shooter rolls the die a number of times until either the same die face is rolled twice or until each of the die faces one through six have been rolled, in either case the shooter's turn ends. The primary bets which may be placed with the house are, that a particular number will be rolled before the shooters turn ends. Primary bets pay 2 for 1. If the shooter's turn ends after all six dice faces have been rolled, all primary bets winnings are doubled or tripled by the house. A second set of bets is based on at least three, four, five, or six dice being rolled before the end of the shooters turn and in addition having a particular pattern such as the dice rolls all being sequentially higher or lower than the previous roll. These bets have odds ranging from 5 for 1 to 25,000 for 1. The primary and secondary type of bets are placed before a turn is begun. During the play of a particular turn bets may be placed on the outcome of the next roll of the die which results in a return of 5 for 1. Additional bets which may be placed are where the first two or more rolls are specified exactly. Lastly, bets may be placed on the number of successful rolls.
