摘要： Methods of administering wagering games may involve accepting a wager from a player on a game of roulette and receiving indication of a predicted roulette outcome. The predicted roulette outcome may be a number from a set of numbers, such as, for example, zero to thirty-six or from zero to thirty-six and double zero. At least a portion of the wager may be transferred to a progressive pot. A plurality of roulette outcomes may be generated, each roulette outcome being independently randomized. The wager may be resolved by comparing each roulette outcome to the predicted roulette outcome. A payout on the wager may be paid from the progressive pot to the player when at least one roulette outcome is the same as the predicted roulette outcome. An amount of the payout may increase nonlinearly as a number of roulette outcomes matching the predicted roulette outcome increases.

摘要： Methods of administering games of roulette may involve accepting a wager may from a player and using a ball launching system to launch at least one roulette ball into a track of a roulette wheel. A number and associated color may be randomly generated from within a range of numbers and associated colors. The triggering event may be identified by determining whether the randomly generated number is identical to a randomly generated number from an immediately preceding round. Upon identifying a triggering event, one or more additional special games of roulette may be played and a payout may be paid to the player according to a paytable associated with the outcome of the special game play. The amount of the wager may be collected for the house when the triggering event is not identified.

摘要： A casino game utilizes at least one deck of playing cards, the game comprising: each player placing at least one wager to participate in the casino game; dealing a first number of cards to a dealer, the first number of cards being greater than the number of cards to be used in determination of a poker rank hand for the dealer; dealing a second number of cards to each player, the second number of cards being greater than the number of cards to be used in determination of a poker rank hand for each player; the dealer discarding at least one card to form a resulting single dealer hand; each player discarding at least one card to form a resulting player's hand for each player, wherein the number of cards in the resulting player's hands and the resulting dealer's hand are equal; and resolving each player hand against the dealer's hand according to predetermined game rules. The initial player's wagers must be at least matched with a Game Bet (or play bet) to remain in the game after players have received their cards. The Game Bet may be multiples of the initial player's wagers, for example, 1× to 5× the initial wager, or more.

摘要： Methods of administering wagering games may involve accepting an ante wager. Initial cards may be dealt, at least one card face up. A suit selected from spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts may be randomly designated to be a power suit for a current round of play. A play wager may be accepted, after presenting the option to place the play wager or make a player election to fold. An additional card available may be dealt for each of the initial cards of the power suit. A payout on the ante and play wagers may be paid when the best poker hand formable is a predetermined winning hand, and the ante and play wagers may be collected when the best poker hand formable is not a predetermined winning hand.
