Definitions

  • the card game machine invention proposed is based upon a presentation of playing card symbols in which the player may have a high degree of involvement in placing these symbols into sub-hands, the sub-game scoring rules of which are familiar to any exponent of conventional card games.
  • the game usually operates with a totally random shuffle of the playing card "deck” at the start of each game, and so it appears to the player to be inherently fair. Further, it is possible to configure the win structure of the game in such a way that it can be made to comply with almost any ratio of prize to stake mandated by local gaming laws, without compromising this inherent fairness of the game.
  • the mode of play gives a great deal of player interaction and choice within the game, and that an early run of "poor" cards can still be turned into a jackpot win within the game, heightening player excitement.
  • Figure 1 shows a card game amusement machine
  • This invention fulfils a reguirement for a game which greatly improves player participation and strategy choice, which does not appear to the player to be biased and unfair and which does not lock him out of the larger prizes early in the game.
  • the game uses a conventionally ordered card scoring system, which is easily adaptable to take into account widely-varying stake-to-prize ratios for different territories thus enhancing both the overall acceptability of the game and the ease and convenience of production of it.
  • the invention thereby significantly advances the art of card-based video games and allows commercial success in a larger number of markets and situations than is currently possible.

Abstract

Dans une machine (M) destinée à des jeux ou à des divertissements basés sur un jeu de cartes, le joueur peut jouer deux ou plusieurs mains (2; 3; 4; 5; 6) simultanément. Quand une carte ou un symbole apparaît, le joueur peut choisir la main à laquelle le symbole doit être attribué. Selon un mode de réalisation, un jeu est basé sur le jeu de blackjack et le joueur joue cinq mains (2; 3; 4; 5; 6) simultanément. Des points et/ou des récompenses sont attribués pour un ensemble de combinaisons gagnantes possibles pour une ou plusieurs mains. Une machine peut également être basée sur d'autres jeux dans lesquels les symboles sont accumulés par le joueur, par exemple des dominos.
