Abstract

Embodiments described herein are directed to an electronic version of domino that adds elements of wagering. A player makes a wager for dominoes to be dealt. A minimum of one domino through a maximum of five dominoes can be wagered on and dealt. Once the dominoes are dealt, the player may “flip” the dominoes by touching them. A player can flip the dominoes online in the starting row, so that dominoes dealt in the next row / level have the best chance of creating a chain. Once satisfied with the dominoes, the player keeps the dominoes to play them. A new row of dominoes is then dealt. Any number of pips on these dominoes that match the bottom dominoes number of pips awards the player a payout and another domino or set of dominoes is dealt to the next row / level. This sequence of play continues until there are no more matching dominoes or the player has hit the maximum payout level. Payouts increase with the size of the domino chain. There is also a bonus game that is awarded whenever a certain type of domino is dealt.
