Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a method and device for playing roulette using a plurality of wheels with discrete stopping positions. The method involves receiving a player's prediction of an accumulated result possible for the plurality of wheels, operating the plurality of wheels to cause each wheel to reach one of its stopping positions at random, and calculating the accumulated result by adding the discernable results of each wheel. The method can be implemented using physical or virtual wheels, and can be played over a network or locally. The non-linear mapping of probabilities to each outcome provides a more intricate and interesting game of chance. The technical effects of the invention include improved accuracy and efficiency in predicting the outcome of a roulette game, increased variety and interestingness of the game, and improved overall user experience."

Problems solved by technology

However a disadvantage of roulette is that since the odds of any single number coming up are 37 / 1, the maximum prize that can be paid out is bounded above by 37 times the bet placed.
Generally players are attracted by high maximum payouts, however small the odds of such a maximum payout.
The game is based on individual results produced on individual wheels and, since these are independent events, the use of the individual results does not succeed in giving a level of odds and consequent maximum prize, which can stand out against national or state lotteries and other available games of chance.

Embodiment Construction

[0051] The present embodiments comprise a system and method for playing multiple wheel roulette in which a final result on which players place bets is an accumulated or otherwise combined total taken from the results of the different wheels.

[0052] In a further aspect the present embodiments provide a game with a plurality of possible outcomes and a non-linear probability curve defining the likelihood of the different outcomes. More specifically but not exclusively the non-linear probability curve is a bell curve or a Gaussian distribution or like statistical distribution about a median or mode.

[0053] The system and method may be played using multiple standard roulette wheels used together or it may be played using a dedicated mechanical machine including the multiple wheels needed for the game or it may be played using an electronic slot machine or it may be played over the Internet or like electronic network, for example using a server-client type connection.

[0054] The principle...

Abstract

A device for playing a game of chance comprises a plurality of roulette wheels each spinnable to provide a result, and an accumulator for calculating and outputting a sum of the results of the roulette wheels. The result is a game of chance that has a bell curve of odds for the available outcomes, permitting maximum prizes which are high relative to what is currently available for this kind of game.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims priority from GB Patent Application No. 0420125.7, filed on Sep. 9, 2004. FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to games of chance involving roulette wheels and, more particularly, but not exclusively to a game of chance involving multiple roulette wheels. [0003] Games of chance are highly popular and have been around for many centuries. One especially popular game of chance is roulette, which is believed to have been around in something close to its present form since the 18th century. Roulette involves a wheel traditionally having 37 or possibly 38 spaces or stopping positions, each position being assigned a unique number and one of two colors. The 37 space wheel is typically used in Europe and the 38 space wheel in the USA. The wheel is set to spin and when the wheel ceases spinning a ball comes to rest within one of the spaces. Players may bet on the numbers, or combination of numbers...
