Definitions

  • This invention relates to a multi-deck playing card set and a method for playing card games using same, wherein card games can be played on an electronic video gaming machine or live as a casino or home table game and wherein two or more decks of cards are shuffled together and used to deal the initial card hand and the replacement cards for discarded cards.
  • the standard fifty-two card deck is the basis for a multitude of games including some of the most popular games: bridge, poker, solitaire, rummy, and many others. Many of these games are played for awards based on achieving certain card combinations.
  • the mathematical odds inherent in using a standard fifty-two card deck limit the size of the award that can be paid for the highest possible hand.
  • These games have not previously been played with an enhanced award system based on the lower of achieving certain card combinations across all decks in the use of a multi-deck card set.
  • a multi-deck card set be developed and used to provide further enhanced awards based on lower probabilities of achieving various card combinations. It is also preferable that the game has the flexibility to be played with a variable number of standard card decks to combine for the multi-deck card set. Using multiple decks in playing certain card games increases the odds that a specific event could happen. For example, holding three jacks from the same deck can be designated as a winning hand. Thus, the odds can be increased, and a higher award offered because this hand is more difficult to achieve than holding three jacks from any of the individual decks in a multiple deck set. Additionally, it is preferable that new and unique combinations of winning cards be made available from all decks present in the multi-deck card set.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,887,873 entitled "Unique Deck of Playing Cards” discloses a deck of cards characterized by a trilateral organization of suit, color, and value. The cards have an improved layout and gender neutral picture cards. Each card has a unique combination of a single suit, single color, or single value. This patent does not disclose a card deck using standard playing card indicia.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,775,992 entitled “Method of Playing” discloses a method of playing cards which includes shuffling five decks of playing cards together and allowing higher awards to be paid for certain winning combinations based on the presence of multiple standard fifty-two card decks.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-deck playing card set suitable as a replacement for a standard fifty-two card deck in traditional card games.
  • the multi-deck card set is formed by combining all or a portion of at least two standard fifty-two card decks.
  • Each card in the standard deck has a front side, a back side, a top portion, and a bottom portion as well as an imprinted design on both the front side and the back side.
  • Each playing card is associated with a suit, such as, but not limited to, spades, hearts, diamonds, or clubs as well as a number between two and ten inclusively or a letter, A, K, Q, or J.
  • the combination of standard decks also includes a unique mark or indicia on each individual card located and visible on at least one side of the card and serving to distinguish cards originating with a particular individual deck.
  • Cards belonging to an individual deck in the multi-deck set will have a unique mark or indicia for each individual deck.
  • a combination of three individual decks in the multi-deck set would include three unique marks or indicia, for example.
  • the mark or indicia is located on the front side of the card and is in the form of a color coded bar along the top and bottom of the front side of each card.
  • the design on the back side of all of the cards in a multi-card set are similar, such that each card in the deck is indistinguishable from other cards when viewed from the back side.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of playing card games using the multi-deck set.
  • the method includes combining at least two standard fifty-two card decks, shuffling the cards together to form a multi-deck card set, and dealing a number of cards to each player.
  • a player can then select a number of initial cards received to discard and exchange those cards with replacement cards from the original multi-deck card set.
  • the player's final hand is then analyzed to determine if the card and mark combination is a winning combination.
  • any suitable card and mark combination may be developed as a winning combination based on the mathematical probability of achieving certain card combinations.
  • a player achieving a winning combination may be provided with an award.
  • the multi-deck card set of the present invention may also be adapted for use in automated or video card playing systems having a video display screen for viewing available cards.
  • the mark or indicia, either in color, black and white, shades of color, or shades of black and white, located on each card can also be associated with a particular sound or feel such that individual card decks associated with a specific mark or indicia can also be associated with a particular sound or feel when a card from that deck is displayed on the screen.
  • the display screen can also provide a visual indication alerting a player of the presence of a winning card combination.
  • a visual indication may include, but is not limited to, flashing cards on the screen, a pop-up box indicating an amount won based on the card and mark combination, or a chase function simulating a circle around the cards on the display screen.
  • FIG. 1 shows front and back views of a single playing card from a standard deck of playing cards
  • FIG. 2 shows front and back views of a single playing card formed in accordance with the teaching of the present invention

  • the multi-deck card set is formed by combining the cards of two or more standard 52-card decks, wherein the cards have been modified in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
  • Each standard playing card has a front side, and a back side. The front side is sometimes referred to as the card face.
  • Each card also has a top portion, a bottom portion, and side portion on each side or face.
  • the multi-deck card set may be used as a replacement deck for any traditional card game.
  • the multi-deck card set also may be used in place of any standard 52-card poker deck, including variations thereof, such variations including the addition of Jokers or other Wild Cards commonly known in the art.
  • the cards forming the multi-deck card set may have the size and configuration of playing cards found in a standard 52-card deck.
  • the cards comprising the multi-deck card set of the present invention are marked with an additional mark/indicia.
  • the markings used include *, % and #, and three 52-card decks are used to create the multi-deck card set, the cards of one deck would be marked with *, the cards of the second deck would be marked with % and the cards of the third deck would be marked with #.
  • the mark/indicia associated with the playing cards is designed to help the player associate a specific card with a particular originating deck comprising the multi-deck card set.
  • the "look" of each game stays basically the same as the card faces and backs are not changed, except for the addition of the mark/indicia to one face of the cards to distinguish cards belonging to a particular deck.
  • the marks/indicia are added to and visible on the front side or face of the playing card.
  • adding the marks/indicia does not interfere with the play of the game, as the game rules stay exactly the same as those applied when playing with a standard 52-card deck or variations thereof that includes Jokers and/or Wild Cards.
  • the "feel" of the game stays the same as the players are playing with cards having the same "look,” front and back sides, as those that have been used in the past (with the only difference being the addition of the mark/indicia).
  • the multi-deck card set does allow for the implementation of an enhanced award system based on the probabilities of obtaining certain card combinations.
  • the multi-deck card set can be overlaid on virtually any gambling card game presently in play.
  • the multi-deck card set can be utilized to replace any deck or decks currently used in electronic poker/card game machines as well as table games. Additionally, new games can be created to utilize the multi-deck card set of the present invention due to the increased ability to generate winning hand combinations.
  • the method of playing card games using the multi-deck card set can be played as a live casino table game, wherein the cards forming the multi-deck card set are shuffled together and dealt to each player, either by hand, by automatic shuffler, from a dealing shoe or from various card dispensing devices.
  • the method of the present invention can be practiced on electronic video gaming machines and video lottery machines in which the cards forming the multi-deck card set are electronically shuffled, and the initial card hand and any replacement cards are displayed to the player on a video screen.

  • the winning card combinations are selected based on the mathematical probability of achieving certain card combinations.
  • the highest awards are provided for the card and mark/indicia combinations that are most difficult to achieve.
  • the following examples illustrate several common card games that may be played using the multi-deck card set 300.
  • Example 1 PUREBLEND TM Poker
  • the PureBlendTM poker game is created to be a new poker game wherein the multi-card deck described above can be overlaid on existing poker games in play today, since the standard fifty two-card deck typically used may be replaced with a multi-deck card set 300, resulting in the following potential outcomes:
  • Deck 1 cards are marked with indicia comprising a blue color bar applied across the top and bottom of the front side of each card; Deck 2 cards are marked with indicia comprising a red color bar applied across the top and bottom of the front side of each card; and Deck 3 cards are marked with indicia comprising a black color bar applied across the top and bottom of the front side of each card.
  • Total cards comprising the multi-deck card set equals one hundred fifty six cards.
  • FIG. 300 Another embodiment of the present invention is a multi-deck card set 300 that is configured for use in automated or video card playing systems such as, but not limited to, electronic video gaming machines.

  • This arrangement permits the individual decks associated with a specific mark/indicia 214 to be associated with a sound and/or feel.
  • cards marked with different marks/indicia 214 will have a slightly different sound and/or feel when displayed.
  • Cards 200 forming a "Pure" winning hand will bear the same mark/indicia 214, and the display screen could provide a visual indication alerting the player of a winning card combination.
  • the cards 200 may initially flash 3 times for a specified period of time, e.g., 1/2 second duration.
  • the display screen may then go into a "chase" mode of a specified duration, e.g., four time chase mode from left to right across the top cards and going right to left across the bottom cards simulating a circle, which will be completed in a specified time period, e.g., 1/2 second duration.
  • the system may also include a pop-up box displayed on the display screen that indicates the total amount won.
  • the pop-up box may also include a border bearing the marks/indicia 214 of the cards comprising the winning hand. The border may be formed using the chasing effect previously discussed.
  • the system may also include a pay-table so that the player knows which are the pre-selected winning card combinations.
