Description

    BACKGROUND
  • The present disclosure relates to a device utilized when playing the game of roulette. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a device that is utilized by a player to track the trends of the winning numbers while actively playing roulette.
  • Roulette is a game of chance that is generally found in casinos. The object is to guess where the roulette ball, spinning on the rim of the roulette wheel, will land. In the game of roulette, the wheel (or spinner) is rotated counter clockwise while a ball is deposited within the outer rim of wheel and spun clockwise. The ball spins about the rotating wheel and is slowed by the frictional opposing force in the rim until the ball is pulled by gravity down into a particular numbered space (or pocket). In some cases, the ball may hit one of eight breakers imbedded in the sloping portion of the wheel bowl, which produces random motion of the ball to a final numbered space. The rate of the spinning ball and the random motion caused by the breakers makes the winning numbered space difficult to predict.
  • Roulette is played at a table having the aforementioned wheel and a betting area (or betting layout) for players. Players make predictions on where the ball will land by placing chips on the desired number or color on the betting area. The operator spins the wheel and releases the ball, and when the ball lands, the operator collects the losing bets and/or pays out the winning bets. Although roulette is a game of chance, people have long desired a means of predicting or tracking the winning bets. However, use of some prediction devices is illegal. Therefore, there is a need for a legal prediction device for predicting the next winning location of the ball when playing roulette.
  • The use of roulette tallying devices is known in the prior art as demonstrated in U.S. Pat. No. 2,866,601 to Naber. The Naber patent allows players to record the area of the wheel where the ball lands, for use in predicting the possible outcome of the next spin. However, the Naber patent does not provide a layout of the entire roulette wheel or an easy and accurate means to determine the proper bracket of numbers for the next bet. Further, the Naber device is a cumbersome and complicated device for players to use.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,744,098 to Grabowski discloses an electronic roulette calculator that records and visually displays the occurrence and number of winning numbers during play. However, the Grabowski patent does not provide the layout of the roulette wheel, nor the ability to display any grouping of numbers. Further, the Grabowski device is complicated and cumbersome to use and is not lightweight and easily manipulated by players.
  • U.S. patent application Ser. No 10/459,658 to Hodapp et al. discloses a roulette number bracket indicator to indicate the numbers located to either side from the number sought. The Hodapp et al. application utilizes a wheel having specific cutouts to demonstrate a specific bracket of numbers for prediction of bets. However, the Hodapp et al. application does not provide a completely visible layout of the roulette wheel, allowing for only cutouts displaying a specific set of numbers, restricting the ability of the player to find the appropriate numbers or to make accurate predictions for the next bet.
  • What is needed in the art is a roulette wheel tracking device that is easily manipulated by the player for rapid prediction of the next bet. The device needs to provide an easily readable display of the roulette wheel and an easily understood bracketing design, while being lightweight and easily accessible.
  • SUMMARY
  • The following presents a simplified summary of the present disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the present disclosure. This summary is not an extensive overview of the present disclosure. It is not intended to identify key or critical elements of the present disclosure or to delineate the scope of the present disclosure.

  • It is contemplated that advertisements, logos, names, markings, and the like can be disposed in the center of the illustration 22, as a background to the base 12, the first member 46, the second member 86, or at any other location on the roulette wheel tracking device 1O.
  • When playing roulette, the roulette wheel illustration disposed in the betting area is not in numerical order, making it difficult for players to find desired numbers. Referring again to FIG. 3, the user can easily find the location of the winning number by referring to the alphabetically number sections 40. For example, winning number 1 falls within section H. The user can easily locate the winning number and alphabetical section by referring to the listing 44, 74 disposed below the roulette wheel illustration 22. At this point, the user can rotate the member 46, 86 to position the end of the reference line 66, 96 to the winning number. The user can then look to the numbers 28 on either side of the winning number or to numbers 28 located on the opposite end of the reference line 66, 96 for placing a next bet.
  • Routine roulette players find that winning numbers can fall into a pattern. The pattern that can emerge from tracking the winning numbers (e.g., using a chart 76) reveals that the numbers fall within particular sections 40 of the roulette tracking device 10. Referring again to FIG. 3, the user can rotate the member 46, 86 to position the end of the reference line 66, 96 to the winning number. At this point, the user can refer to the section lines 56 to point out (or points to or references) a particular section (or sections) including several roulette numbers (or spacings). Based upon the pattern tracked by the user, the user can look to the section 40 within the section lines 56 containing the past winning number or to any other section to which the pattern itemized. For example, if the past winning numbers were 17, 31, 7, 21, 5, 19, the winning numbers are alternating from one side of the wheel to the other. Therefore, the user can utilize the section lines 56 to choose a number following the pattern. In this case, the number to chose may be number 11. The user can then place bets on the surrounding numbers of 11 within the section lines 56, i.e., numbers 17, 32, 20, 7, 30, 26, 9, 28, and 0. These numbers are chosen using the section lines in order to try and take advantage of the pattern that is emerging from the recent winning numbers.
  • There are several advantages of the roulette wheel tracking device 10. The user can easily locate the winning numbers by referring to the listings. The numbers are in numerical order and have corresponding letters for sections itemized about the roulette wheel illustration. The user can then easily find the appropriate location of the number on the roulette wheel illustration by locating the letter. Further, the user can then rotate the members to line up reference lines and/or section lines to choose the next number to bet on or a group of numbers to bet on. The roulette wheel tracking device 10 is light weight, easy to manipulate, and compact enough to fit in a pocket or purse. The roulette wheel tracking device 10 can help the user to record and predict trends in the winning numbers. The roulette wheel tracking device 10 can help new, and seasoned, players to enjoy the game of roulette.
