Abstract
A dual wagering game method for one or more players based on simultaneous participation in two mutually exclusive game components with a payoff being the product of the game component outcomes. Wagers are made in both a repeatable base game component and a nonrepeatable bonus game component which components are mutually exclusive. The outcome of the bonus game component results in a multiplier value. Winnings from repeated plays of the base game component are accumulated until a game ending event occurs and the player receives a payout of any accumulated winnings from the base game component multiplied by the multiplier value determined in the bonus game component.
Claims18
A dual wagering game method comprising:
- recognizing a game terminating event;
- making a first wager on an outcome of a first game component;
- recognizing an initial value zero for an outcome accumulator value of a second game component;
- making a first wager on an outcome of said second game component;
- determining the outcome of said second game component, the determination of the outcome of the second game component being independent of the outcome of the first game component;
- determining the value of the outcome of said second game component;
- adding the value of the outcome of said second game component to said outcome accumulator value of said second game component;
- determining the outcome of said first game component, the determination of the outcome of the first game component being independent of the outcome of the second game component;
- determining the value of the outcome of said first game component;
- and
- realizing a payoff equal to said value of the outcome of said first game component multiplied by said outcome accumulator value of said second game component upon occurrence of said game terminating event.
A dual wagering game method comprising:
- establishing a game terminating event;
- permitting each of one or more game participants to place a first wager on an outcome of a first game component common to all game participants;
- storing an initial value zero for an outcome accumulator value of a second game component for each game participant, said second game component being unique to each game participant;
- permitting each game participant to place a first wager on an outcome of said second game component;
- determining a value to the outcome of said second game component for each participant, the determination of the outcome of the second game component being independent of the outcome of the first game component;
- summing the value of the outcome of said second game component to said outcome accumulator value of said second game component for each participant;
- determining a value to the outcome of said first game component, the determination of the outcome of the first game component being independent of the outcomes of the second game components for each participant;
- and
- paying a payoff to each game participant equal to said value of the outcome of said first game component multiplied by said outcome accumulator value of said second game component of each game participant upon occurrence of said game terminating event.
