Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to games of chance, and more particularly to novel variations on the roulette wheel and wagers placed thereon.
  • the present invention comprises a roulette wheel comprising alphabetic characters and rainbow colors, and multiple balls.
  • the balls may come to rest upon at least two letters for forming a letter couplet, triplet, etc.
  • the combination of letters may form syllables or words, which formations may be coupled to tones for eliciting an enhanced gaming experience.
  • Gaming is ancient. Over time, core gaming themes and gaming rules have developed, which continue to enjoy wide popularity. In order to infuse some element of novelty into ancient games, gaming enthusiasts continually strive to enhance the gaming experience through inventive approaches to play. Roulette, for example, has been credited to many ancient sources, including Chinese origins and Roman origins.
  • Roulette has evolved into a casino and gambling game in which a croupier turns a round roulette wheel having 37 or 38 separately numbered pockets in which a ball must land.
  • Conventional roulette wheels comprise pockets or wheel sectors numbered non-sequentially from 1 to 36 alternating between red and black backdrops.
  • Most modern Roulette wheels further comprise at least one green pocket numbered "0".
  • most roulette wheels comprise a second green pocket marked "00" ostensibly for increasing the house advantage in the United States as compared to house advantage in European play.
  • United States Patent No. 3,853,324 ( V 324 Patent), which issued to Reiner et al., discloses a Combined Game of Chance and Skill.
  • the '324 Patent teaches a combined game of chance and skill which is a modified form of the popular game known as bingo;
  • the game includes a circular playing field, a longitudinal alley extending therefrom and a ball -propelling mechanism mounted at one end of the alley for propelling small and large indicating balls along the alley and onto the playing field.
  • the playing field includes an outer member and an inner disc which are rotatably driven in opposite directions.
  • the outer member is provided with a plurality of indicia-carrying partitions which are spaced to trap the large indicating ball which is propelled onto the playing field but are spaced to allow the small indicating ball to pass through the partitions and onto the inner disc.
  • the inner disc is provided with a plurality of indicia-carrying, ball-receiving pockets adapted to receive the small indicating ball which passes through the partitions.
  • United States Patent No. 4,222,561 ( V 561 Patent), which issued to Whitten, discloses a Game Device.
  • the '561 Patent teaches a roulette type device whereby a predetermined set of word category cards are selected randomly one at a time together with spinning a roulette wheel to select the first letter designation for a word response by the players which satisfies both the category and first letter so selected.
  • the roulette type wheel comprises a series of letters of the Roman alphabet thereon.
  • the Whitten wheel includes a total of thirty-six lettered positions thereon, with certain of the letters being duplicitous.
  • Whitten utilizes the device to enable random selection of a letter by his wheel to designate the first letter of an object from a group of related objects, e.g., kinds of fruit, etc.
  • the subject user or gamer must come up with an object having a name that begins with the letter selected on the Whitten roulette wheel in order to win that particular play or turn.
  • United States Patent No. 4,887,819 C819 Patent which issued to Walker, discloses a Casino Board Game.
  • the '819 Patent teaches a relatively complex game, incorporating use of a roulette wheel and combines aspects of several different traditional or conventional gambling games.
  • the player uses either a card game similar to blackjack or a slot machine to determine the number of spaces to be moved along a segmented path, the particular game being selected by the instructions contained in the segment on which the player landed on the prior move.
  • Each segment also contains further instructions, some of those instructions designating a further gambling apparatus and giving odds.
  • These further apparatuses are a roulette game or a dice game, and the player landing on that segment may gamble at these games at the designated odds.
  • the '853 Patent teaches a game including a selector for selecting a nucleotide from a group of nucleotides normally associated with DNA. By randomly selecting nucleotides and recording the selected nucleotides, each player creates a unique DNA sequence. The DNA sequence is used in one of a variety of game motifs to determine the winner of the game. It will be seen from an inspection of the '853 Patent that a roulette-type wheel having a series of seventy-one lettered positions thereon enables play. Certain alphabetic characters are repeated, with several (Roman) alphabetic characters being omitted from the wheel. United States Patent No. 5,755,440 C 440 Patent), which issued to Sher, discloses an Enhanced Roulette- Style Game.
  • the '440 Patent teaches a new Roulette apparatus comprising multiple balls and separate tracks for launching each of the balls.
  • the launching apparatus is air powered, and in another the apparatus is mechanical with the balls accelerated by contact with a spinning wheel. In either case the launching apparatus may be hand-held or mounted to a frame and positioned to propel the balls into the tracks.
  • the wheel of the Roulette apparatus is provided as a dynamic display, which may be of several different types, such as LCD and dynamic holographic displays, and electronic player stations are provided wherein players may customize and place bets.
  • the games are enhanced by audio effects including such sounds as balls being launched, balls rolling in Roulette apparatus, thunder strikes, and music.
  • United States Patent No. 6,164,647 (.647 Patent), which issued to Chee, discloses a Casino Wheel Game System.
  • the '647 Patent teaches a roulette assembly comprising a lower wheel divided into a plurality of sections each representative of at least one of a unique number and a unique color.
  • an upper wheel rotatably mounted on the lower wheel and divided into a plurality of sections each representative of at least one of a unique number and a unique color.
  • the upper wheel slows to engage with the lower wheel and a unique number and color combination is indicated.
  • a mechanically complex roulette wheel is disclosed.
  • Upper and lower wheels may be randomly joined to select a specific color and number outcome on the lower wheel. Notably, no alphabetic designations on the wheel are disclosed.
  • the '542 and '106 Patents teach roulette of a new type including two bowls coaxial to each other and rotating around the same axis and two small balls, each ball rolling around one of the bowls, where on each bowl are engraved data which refer to an independent event.
  • the two independent events are: the signs of the zodiac, the numbers from 0 to 31, where the signs of the zodiac are preferably engraved on the external, ring- shaped bowl, while the numbers from 0 to 31 are preferably engraved on the internal bowl.
  • the events engraved on the two bowls are related to one or more of the calendars used in Asiatic countries (China, Korea, Japan and so on). Furthermore, a new gambling game providing for the use of said improved roulette is described.
  • the '022 Patent teaches a method of mass amusement using a stake field simulating a roulette- type betting field with various -color stake squares with various-color information marks from 1 to 36 formed thereupon and the twelve zodiac signs in the stake squares with digital information marks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31. Also formed is a flat image of a stationary roulette wheel having 36 main sectors and one or two additional sectors, with each main sector to contain, first, the images of digits from 1 to 36 with the images of the twelve Zodiac signs in the places of location of the prime numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31, and, secondly, two images of the hexagonal die with information marks being various number of spots from one to six. Then, the players place their bats on the stake squares of the stake field, the procedure to be followed by choosing two pairs of random gambling indices by means of double simultaneous casting of two hexagonal dice.
  • United States Patent Application Publication No. 2005/02853366 which was authored by Ilievski, discloses an alphabetic roulette game comprising a roulette wheel having twenty-five positions thereon, comprising the twenty-six letters of the Roman alphabet and a double letter position.
  • a wagering surface or table provides for the placement of wagers upon the chance of any of the single letters (or the double letters) or a letter of any of several groups of letters turning up on a spin of the wheel.
  • the game also provides for wagers on the chance of a given letter turning up on two or more consecutive turns of the wheel.
  • a further wagering opportunity is provided for wagering upon the chance of a letter within a given word or words coming up on a turn of the wheel.
  • the alphabetic positions on the wheel, and corresponding positions on the table, may be colored to allow players to place wagers on a color or colors, as desired. It will be seen from a further review of the above-referenced patents and other prior art generally known to exist, however, that the prior art does not teach a roulette type game for forming syllabic letter couplets or words utilizing multiple dice and alphabetic characters, which couplets and/or words, when formed via roulette type balls, may be operably coupled to certain means for providing tones, all of which functions to stimulate the gamer's senses for enhancing the overall gaming experience.

This option may lead to higher payouts, (2) Players who place any other bets are automatically eligible to win the progressive if their word comes up. (3) Players who place at least a minimum bet amount, which may be a system set parameter, are automatically eligible to win the progressive if their word comes up. A further option on this variation is to spin or incorporate four balls 12 instead of three balls 12. Players would then have four letter words assigned from which they can win the progressive jackpot if all four letters of the word appear. The advantage of this structure is that higher progressive prizes may be achieved. Notably, any of the participation options set forth hereinabove may be opted.
  • a mystery jackpot option may be incorporated into the structure.
  • the difficulty with only a single word is that many players will be sharing the jackpot and the prize will not be very large or unique. This problem may be easily addressed.
