Pick-A-Card Game

Abstract

A method for playing a betting game with a standard deck of 52 cards wherein the betting table is configured with regimented sections correlating to groups of cards or individual cards themselves, in order to allow players to bet on a card selected from the deck based on the suit and number of the card selected. The betting structure is similar to that of the traditional game of Roulette, helping to ensure that players grasp the rules rapidly. The game is preferably divided into three phases: a betting phase, a card selection phase, and a payout phase. During the betting phase, players place chips on locations within the table layout corresponding to values, suits, and colors of cards to be drawn from the deck. The card selected indicates the winner of the game when a bet has been placed on the location representing the selected card value, suit, or color.

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a card based game that is played in a betting environment like traditional Roulette.

However, games such as Roulette rarely ever change or adapt.

Similarly, often players grow tired of playing the same traditional games over and over again, and long to play new games on the casino floor that are engaging, live, and held on a traditional table-game felt surface.
