Abstract
A method to implement a wagering game which allows a player to make multiple bets on independent outcomes. The outcome distributions/variances of each of the bets can vary. The player can, for example, place a bet on whether cards drawn from independent decks will have the same suit, the outcomes of which are entirely independent of each other.
Claims9
A method of implementing a wagering game, the method comprising:
- performing the following operations on an electronic gaming machine:
- receiving on the electronic gaming machine a cash amount from a player;
- converting the cash amount into a playable amount of wagering credits;
- simultaneously wagering on the electronic gaming machine a first amount W1 of the wagering credits on a first bet B1, and a second amount W2 of the wagering credits on a second bet B2, wherein a variance of B1 differs from a variance of B2;
- generating and displaying on the electronic gaming machine a first outcome O1 for the first amount W1 bet on the first bet B1 and a second outcome O2 for the second amount W2 bet on the second bet B2, and computing an aggregated credit gain based on the first outcome and the second outcome O1+O2;
- associating an association of a plurality of aggregated credit gains with respective multipliers;
- determining a particular multiplier using the association based on the aggregated credit gain;
- calculating an aggregated wager amount (W1+W2) by combining the first amount W1 and the second amount W2;
- multiplying the aggregated wager amount (W1+W2) by the particular multiplier to generate an award amount;
- and
- increasing the wagering credits on the electronic gaming machine by the award amount.
