Definitions

• the present invention relates to a novel Roulette Gaming Layout that permits bets to be placed on combinations of numbers which are not possible on a conventional Roulette Gaming Layout.
• a conventional Roulette Gaming Layout as illustrated in figure 1 comprises a matrix of boxes 12 in three columns of twelve rows, which are numbered 1 to 36 consecutively across the rows.
• An additional box 14 which spans the three boxes 12 of the top row is numbered 0.
• Boxes 16 are also provided at the bottom of each column.
• Further boxes 18, 20, 22 and 24 are provided at the side of the main matrix.
• the method of laying Roulette bets is to place real or virtual chips on an individual numbered square 12 or on a combination of numbers by placing a chip on a line or corner common the numbers.
• the combination of numbers is limited by the physical proximity of the numbers which allow the bet to be indicated by placing a chip on a line or corner common to a plurality of numbers.
• a limited number of additional combinations may be covered by placing a chip in one of the boxes 18 to 24, for example box 16 to cover a full column (12 numbers), box 18 to cover 1 to 12; 13 to 24; or 25 to 36, box 20 to cover 1 to 18 or 19 to 36, box 22 to cover odd/even numbers or box 24 to cover black/red numbers.
• the US wheel has a double zero in addition to the single zero featured in the French and European wheels.
• the US gaming cloth displays the two zero betting areas adjacent to each other a single chip bet as a split to cover both zeros is not normally permitted.
• the two zeros are sited opposite each other on the US wheel.
• Chips intended to cover more than one number may only cover the numbered betting squares which are physically adjacent thus seven-eight (as a split) is permitted, severn-nine is not.
• a Roulette Gaming Layout includes a matrix of boxes having four columns of twelve rows, the boxes in three adjacent columns being numbered 1 to 36 consecutively across the rows, the boxes in the fourth column being numbered to repeat the numbers in the column on the opposite side of the matrix.
• the present invention permits bets to be placed on combinations not hitherto possible, for example a bet may be placed on a split seven-nine or a corner seven-nine-ten-twelve, which were not hitherto possible.
• the Roulette Gaming Layout of the present invention may also include additional boxes similar to those of the conventional layout, in which bets may be placed on zero, double zero, a column, 1 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36, 1 to 18, 19 to 36, 1 to 18, 19 to 36, odd, even, black or red or other combinations of numbers which are not in physical proximity.
• a box marked with the number zero a further row of three boxes being provided along the top of the zero box, the further row of boxes being numbered 34, 35, 36.
• bets may be combinations of zero with numbers 34, 35, 36, which are not possible with the conventional layout.
• FIG. 2 illustrates a R.oulette Layout in accordance with the present invention
• FIG. 3 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the present invention
• FIG. 4 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention.
• Figure 1 shows a conventional Roulette Layout as described above.
• an additional column of twelve boxes 50 are provided down one side of the matrix of boxes 12 of the conventional Layout, the boxes 50 being aligned with the rows of the matrix of boxes 12.
• These boxes 50 are numbered with the same number as that of the box 12 at the opposite end of the respective row.
• the boxes 50 allow bets to be placed on pairs of numbers at opposite ends of the rows of the conventional layout (Link Split), for example 1 and 3 or 22 and 24, by placing a chip 52 on a line between a box 50 and box 12 in the adjacent column.
• Boxes 50 also allow bets to be placed on two pairs of numbers at opposite ends of adjacent rows of the conventional layout (Split Corner), for example 4, 7, 6, 9 or 28, 31 , 30 and 33, by placing a chip 54 at the corner common to two boxes 50 and two boxes 12 in the adjacent row of the matrix.
• a further row of three boxes 60 are provided along the top edge of box J 4 of the conventional layout, the boxes 60 corresponding to the columns of the conventional layout.
• the boxes 60 are numbered 34, 35 and 36.
• the boxes 60 allow additional bets to be placed on 0 and 34; 0 and 35; or 0 and 36 (Link Split) by placing a chip 62 on the line adjoining box 14 and the appropriate box 60. Boxes 60 also allow bets to be placed on
• a chip 74 may be placed in one of the boxes 70, for example that corresponding to the first set of four rows of the conventional layout, to place a bet on the corner boxes 12 of the relevant four rows (Corner Foursome), that is the first and third boxes of the first row and first and third boxes of the fourth row, i.e. numbers 1 , 3, 10 and 12.
• a chip 76 may be placed in one of the boxes 72, for example that corresponding to the third set of four rows, to place a bet on the middle four boxes 12 of the corresponding rows, i.e. 26, 29, 32 and 35.
• the Roulette Layout described with reference to figure 2 will thus permit numerous additional bets on combinations not hitherto possible, in particular:
• any or all other combinations of numbered betting squares effected by a single-chip bet may be made available on a virtual or electronic cloth.
• the cloth or any variation thereof may be used or depicted in electronic form, by remote broadcast, on the world wide web, on the internet, on a local area network or remote network or by way of scratch-card or lottery or as an accessory for a family or fun game.
• the boxes 50 may alternatively be located on the right hand side of the matrix of boxes 12 and numbered 1 , 4, 7, etc., as illustrated in figure 3.
• the boxes 18, 20, 22, 24, 70 and 72 may be placed on either side of the matrix of boxes 12, 50, as illustrated in figure 4.
• the box 14 may also span all four of the columns of the matrix of boxes 12, 50 as illustrated in figure 4.
