  • FIG 1 there is shown a gaming table layout 20, which would typically in practice be arranged on top of a casino card game table structure, such as of the type often employed for playing blackjack and the like.
  • the table layout 20 includes a dealer position 40 and a plurality of player positions 22, of which six are shown in Figure 1.
  • the number of player positions 22 can be varied as desired, according to the size of the gaming table or the number of players the casino wishes to accommodate at each table, for example.
  • a casino layout might typically be arranged to accommodate between five and eight players per table.
  • the dealer location 40 is provided opposite the player positions 22 and is preferably adjacent to a betting-chip rack 42.
  • the chip rack 42 is of a conventional design common to the industry and used to hold casino betting-chips.
  • the dealer uses the chip rack 42 to store the gaming tokens that belong to the house.

  • table card locations 44 are illustrated in Figure 1 , for game play according to a preferred embodiment of the invention as described below. Additionally, between the table card locations 44 and the player positions 22, a plurality of wagering locations 24 and a jackpot wagering band 26 are provided.

  • a card deck suitable for game play with the layout 20 may comprise four sub-sets (e.g. "suits") of eight cards each corresponding to a respective one of the eight indicia "A” to “H", together with one House or Jackpot card.
  • Game play using such a card deck basically involves players wagering against the house, according to predetermined pay-out ratios, as to whether a card with a particular indicia or a combination of such cards, will be drawn from the deck in a single four card hand.
  • players are afforded the opportunity to place a wager by positioning a casino chip on one of the wagering locations 24, 26. For example, by placing a chip on the wagering location 24 labeled "A", the player is wagering that a card labeled "A" will be one of the four cards drawn from the deck by the dealer when the game commences.
  • Placing a betting chip on the jackpot wagering band 26 corresponds to a wager by the player that the House or Jackpot card will be drawn in the next hand.
  • the dealer is satisfied that all wagers are placed, four cards are drawn by the dealer, one card at a time, from a randomly arranged card deck.

  • the four cards drawn from the deck and placed in the table card locations 44 are referred to as the "table cards", as they are neither player or dealer cards.
  • the winning and losing wagers can be determined according to the placement of betting chips on the table and the indicia shown on the table cards. Basically, if a particular card type is dealt as one of the four table cards, wagering chips placed in the corresponding wagering location 24 will win. For example, if each of the dealt cards are of different type, bets on the four card indicia types dealt all win, and bets on the other four card types lose. If a particular card type occurs more than once in the hand, fewer than four of the wagering locations 24 will represent winning bets, but additional pay-out odds may be returned to the winning players with wagers on the multiply dealt card type.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a gaming table layout 50 adapted for a modified version of the wagering system described above.
  • each player position 52 arranged around the table corresponds to one of the card types ("A" to "H") in the deck. According to this system, a player at a particular player location 52 is only permitted to wager on the card type corresponding to their location at the table.

  • the return on wagers be effectively paid at slightly less odds that what would be considered even money. This is generally achieved in one of two ways. The first is to take a commission, say 5%, from all winning wagers, and the second is to modify the odds to slightly favor the house.
  • the VIVA card could simply be used as a non- scoring card. That is to say, for a game of eight wagering positions where three ordinary cards and a VIVA card is dealt, then only wagering results from the three ordinary cards would be paid, in the usual manner. In this case, there is no fourth card to pay on and no possible four of a kind, which allows the house to obtain a suitable edge in pay-out probabilities.
  • the game card deck includes a VIVA card which is dealt during a hand, all wagers in that particular hand are lost by the players.
  • the house edge would be adjustable according to the ratio of ordinary cards to VIVA cards, which in this example would be approximately one in every seven hands.
  • any cards in a hand are dealt prior to the VIVA card being dealt, then the winning wagers are paid but no further cards are dealt. Effectively, if the VIVA card is the second card, then bets corresponding to the type of the first card dealt only are paid; if VIVA is the third card, then bets in relation to the first two ordinary cards are paid, and so on.
  • VIVA card it is also possible to provide players with an additional wagering option, by allowing them to wager on the VIVA card. So as to provide the game with a house edge that is acceptable to both players and house alike, it is necessary to provide a relatively low probability of the VIVA card being dealt. However, this need for the low probability of a VIVA card being dealt makes the wagering option on the VIVA card ideal for a VIVA Jackpot or Bonus Wager. Since the VIVA card is also a house card, the VJVA Jackpot or Bonus Wager option can also constitute a type of insurance for players wagering on the indicia in the ordinary card wagering locations 24.
  • the Rules of Play are as follows.
  • the three wagering options are as follows:
  • a player can bet on numbers 1 (Ace) to 8 on the layout in front of them.
  • the winning numbers are determined by the four cards dealt face up and placed in the table card locations 44 by the dealer.
  • the payoff odds for the Indicia / Number Wager are as follows:
  • Each player can wager on one or more of any of the eight card numbers. It is important to appreciate that the VIVA cards are not considered "indicia/number" cards and therefore do not qualify for the above payoffs.
  • the player may also bet that at least one VIVA card will be dealt.
  • the payoff odds are as follows:
  • the player may also make a $1 Progressive bet. If the four cards dealt by the dealer match any of the following winning combinations, the player will be paid in accordance with the pay-out schedule below:
  • the progressive meter could start at $10,000 and be reset to $10,000 whenever the 100% jackpot has been hit. Gaming regulations and or game operators would determine the percentage increase that the jackpot meter is incremented by.
  • 16 * 15 * 14 * 117 * 4 / 298978680 0.525951%.
  • the probability that exactly one VJVA card will be dealt is
  • the four VIVA's jackpot will occur once every 2.5 million hands.
  • card counting has not been taken into consideration with these probabilities and we would recommend that either the deck must be shuffled after each hand or a continuous shuffling machine that randomly places cards from the previous hand back into the shoe should be used. That way, card counting is not considered to be a threat and is not addressed in this analysis.
  • jackpot card games players must first place a wager in what is probably best described as the main game and only then are they eligible to place a jackpot wager. This is not the case with this invention, unlike other types of Jackpot card games, players of the progressive jackpot wagering option of this invention, are able to make a jackpot wager without having to make a wager in any other part of the game, such as the numbers wager.
  • the main Jackpot can only be won by one player, unlike these games, embodiments of this invention provide for the main jackpot to be equally divided among all players who made the progressive jackpot wager; while the winning bonus hands from the suited 4 of a kind on down could be paid individually to each player that has made the progressive jackpot wager and could be paid directly from the dealer's chip rack 42.
  • the specific card pack when there are six (6) communal betting areas 24, then the specific card pack will contain cards numbered one (Ace) to six (6) and probably one House or Jackpot card and in this particular version of the game 3 table cards are dealt; when there are eight (8) communal betting areas 24, then the specific card pack will contain cards numbered one (Ace) to eight (8) and probably one House or Jackpot card and in this particular version of the game 4 table cards are dealt; when there are ten (10) communal betting areas 24, then the specific card pack will contain cards numbered one (Ace) to ten (10) and probably one House or Jackpot card and in this particular version of the game 5 table cards are dealt, and so on.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un jeu de cartes ayant lieu dans des casinos et pour lequel les clients du casino peuvent miser. Le jeu nécessite une table de jeu sur laquelle sont marqués un certain nombre de positions par des signes et consiste à jouer aux cartes avec les mêmes signes. Pour ce faire, on distribue un certain nombre de cartes provenant de paquets de cartes spécifiques qui décident du résultat et offrent des gains pour le joueur présentant les signes des cartes. Les joueurs peuvent soit miser sur les signes alignés sur leur position de jeu, soit miser sur une des options de mise disponibles sous forme de zones de mise communes. Il n'y a pas de mains de joueur en tant que telle mais plutôt une seule main de table. Les résultats de victoire sont déterminés par les signes des cartes qui sont jouées sur la table. Les joueurs de ce jeu ont la possibilité de recevoir de multiples chances de gagner pour une seule mise et de profiter en même temps de certains bonus. Les joueurs peuvent également participer à un gros lot progressif indépendant du jeu principal. La distribution des cartes s'effectue par un croupier, un croupier électronique ou un jeu informatique sans croupier.
