Abstract
A system and machine-implemented method for facilitating simulation of game play for playing a game, the method including receiving one or more wagers from a user on one or more outcomes of the game, the one or more wagers relating to one of a point total of a first hand and second hand or a condition regarding the values of each of the first hand and the second hand, initiating a randomization event to generate an outcome for the game, the randomization event being generated using a spin of a plurality of randomizer units. Determining the outcome of one or more of the plurality of randomizer units to determine an outcome from the one or more wagers and settling the one or more wagers according to the outcome.
Claims18
A method for facilitating simulation of game play for playing a game of baccarat, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more wagers from a user on one or more possible outcomes of a game of baccarat, the one or more wagers relating to one of a point total of a first hand of baccarat and a second hand of baccarat, or a condition regarding values of each of the first hand and the second hand;
- initiating a randomization event to generate an outcome for the game of baccarat, the randomization event being generated using a spin of a plurality of randomizer units, wherein each of the plurality of randomizer units comprises a die and a wheel and a randomization mechanism for causing a randomized movement of one or more of the die and the wheel, wherein each wheel includes one or more compartments, each compartment being labeled with a unique visual characteristic representing an element, and wherein a first set of the randomizer units is associated with the first hand and a second set of the randomizer units is associated with the second hand to generate the outcome for the game;
- terminating the randomization event, such that each of the randomizer units of a respective set of randomizer units provides a randomized outcome comprising a respective element of a compartment in which the die lands after the randomization event is terminated;
- determining the outcome of the game based on each randomized outcome provided by one or more of the plurality of randomizer units and based on the one or more wagers;
- and
- settling the one or more wagers according to the outcome for the game.
A system for facilitating simulation of game play for playing a game of baccarat, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving one or more wagers from a user on one or more possible outcomes of the game of baccarat, the one or more wagers relating to one of a point total of a first hand of baccarat and a second hand of baccarat or a condition regarding values of each of the first hand and the second hand;
- initiating a randomization event to generate an outcome for the game, the randomization event being generated using a spin of a plurality of randomizer units, including a first set of randomizer units associated with the first hand and a second set of randomizer units associated with the second hand, to generate the outcome for the game, wherein each of the plurality of randomizer units includes a die and a wheel comprising one or more compartments, each compartment being labeled with a unique character representing an element;
- terminating the randomization event, such that each of the randomizer units of the set of randomizer units provides an outcome comprising an element associated with a compartment in which the die lands after the randomization event is terminated;
- determining the outcome of the game based on each outcome provided by one or more of the plurality of randomizer units and based on the one or more wagers;
- and
- settling the one or more wagers according to the outcome of the game.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving one or more wagers from a user on one or more outcomes of a game of baccarat, the one or more wagers relating to one of a point total of a first hand of baccarat and a second hand of baccarat or a condition regarding values of each of the first hand and the second hand;
- initiating a randomization event to generate an outcome for the game of baccarat, the randomization event being generated using a spin of a plurality of randomizer units, wherein each of the plurality of randomizer units includes a die and a wheel, including a first set of randomizer units associated with the first hand and a second set of randomizer units associated with the second hand, to generate one or more outcomes, wherein the outcome for each randomizer unit is defined based on a position of the die and the wheel comprising one or more compartments, each compartment being labeled with a unique character representing an element;
- terminating the randomization event, such that each of the randomizer units of the first set of randomizer units and the second set of randomizer units provides an outcome comprising an element associated with a compartment in which the die lands after the randomization event is terminated;
- determining the outcome of the game based on each outcome provided by one or more of the plurality of randomizer units and based on the one or more wagers;
- and
- settling the one or more wagers according to the outcome of the game.
