[0079] Definitions

[0080] The following definitions are presented to assist in understanding the current invention, without limiting the scope of the invention:

[0081] Casino—A place or environment in which systems, methods and devices relating to games of chance are operated. A casino is not necessarily a physical location that a customer must travel to wager.

[0082] Gravity—The gravitational force exerted by the Earth at sea level.

[0083] Microgravity—A location or environment where the gravity force, either real or simulated, is significantly less than that experienced on Earth at sea level.

[0084] Low Gravity—A location or environment where the gravity force, real or simulated, is less than that experienced on Earth at sea level, but not zero.

[0085] Zero Gravity (“zero-G” or “0 G”)—A location or environment where the gravity force, real or simulated, can be measured at or near zero.

[0086] Variable Gravity—A gravity force or simulated gravity force that is not constant over tim...

Abstract

The present invention provides a means for randomizing and controlling objects in a zero gravity environment. The invention also replicates and enhances traditional casino gaming experiences in zero gravity, microgravity, low gravity and variable gravity environments. This includes adapted seating for players and staff, enabling wagering, and ensuring security and integrity of the games. Both traditional casino games, such as craps, roulette and blackjack, and new games of chance are provided and modified so as to take advantage of unique properties of zero, low or variable gravity environments. Games may be either attended or unattended, and wagering may be either on-site or off-site via remote communications. Virtual games may also be played in simulated zero gravity, low gravity and variable gravity.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority from prior copending U.S. provisional patent application No. 60 / 484,552, filed Jul. 2, 2003, and prior copending U.S. provisional patent application No. 60 / 484,553, filed Jul. 2, 2003. Both of such applications are incorporated herein by reference.NO GOVERNMENT RIGHTS [0002] No federally-sponsored research or development was involved with this application. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] 1. Field of the Invention [0004] The present invention relates to gaming and casinos, and more specifically to gaming devices and methods adapted for use in zero gravity, micro gravity, low gravity and variable gravity environments. [0005] 2. Discussion of Background Art [0006] Casino gambling has been proliferating remarkably in recent years. In addition to traditional locations such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City, casinos have opened in non-traditional locations such as Native-American reservations, river boats and...
