Wagering game method, system and device
View Patent ↗A random outcome generator is configured to randomly generate a round outcome consisting of numbers selected from a predefined number set. A positive subset, a neutral subset, and a negative subset are defined. At least one game wager is received. Rounds are conducted by randomly generating a round outcome and determining which of the positive set, neutral set, and negative set each of the numbers within the round outcome fall into. Rounds are terminated if a round outcome includes a number from the negative set. Any numbers within the positive set are stored and additional rounds are conducted until a final round has been conducted or a number within the round outcome falls within the negative set, whichever occurs first. Game wagers are resolved after the final round based on the numbers stored from the quantity of rounds plus any numbers selected in the final round.
1 . A method for conducting a wagering game utilizing a gaming table including a housing having a data input device, a display device, a memory, a random number generator and a processing device, the processing device being in communication with the random number generator, the memory and the display device and configured to actuate a random outcome generator formed by accessing the memory and configured to randomly generate a round outcome consisting of numbers selected from a predefined number set, the method comprising:
the random outcome generator defining a positive set, a neutral set, and a negative set, each of said positive set, neutral set, and negative set consisting essentially of numbers selected from said predefined number set, wherein all said numbers in said predefined number set are members of one, and only one, of said positive set, neutral set, or negative set;
the data input device receiving at least one game wager on the numbers generated by said random outcome generator over a quantity of rounds;
responsive to the data input device receiving the at least one game wager, the gaming table conducting said quantity of rounds, each round comprising:
randomly generating a round outcome by said random outcome generator;
the processor determining which of said positive set, neutral set, and negative set each of the numbers within said round outcome fall into;
the processor terminating said quantity of rounds if any of said numbers within said round outcome fall within said negative set;
the processor storing in the memory any numbers within said positive set and reducing the quantity of numbers generated in the ensuing round outcome by the quantity of stored numbers; and
the gaming table conducting additional rounds within said quantity of rounds until a final round of said quantity of rounds has been conducted or a number within said round outcome falls within said negative set, whichever occurs first, wherein in said additional rounds, said random outcome generator is configured to only reselect numbers falling within said neutral set; and
the processor resolving said game wagers after said final round based on the numbers stored from the quantity of rounds plus any numbers selected in said final round.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein each round further comprises: receiving at least one round wager; and resolving said round wager based on the numbers within said round outcome.
3 . The method of claim 1 wherein said quantity of rounds is a number from one to four.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein said round outcome consists of three numbers.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein said predefined number set includes said positive set of one to four numbers, said neutral set of one to four numbers, and said negative set of one to four numbers, wherein the total combined numbers of said positive, neutral and negative sets is six numbers.
6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
defining a neutral combination comprising a number from said negative set and at least one additional number; and
continuing to conduct said quantity of rounds rather than terminating said quantity of rounds when said neutral combination occurs.
