Abstract:
1. A method for concurrently resolving a plurality of different games of chance having different decision ranges using a single randomization event, said method comprising the steps of: providing a first game of chance having an outcome determined by the selection of a number within a first number range; providing a second game of chance different than the first game of chance, the second game of chance having an outcome determined by the selection of a number within a second number range; providing an input data set defined as numbers derived from all possible outcomes of a given randomizer machine, the input data set being dissimilar to at least one of the first and second number ranges; providing a randomizer machine configured to randomly select a number from the input data set; creating a first data map associating each number in the first number range with a number in the input data set; creating a second data map associating each number in the second number range with a number in the input data set; placing a wager on the first game of chance; placing a wager on the second game of chance; obtaining a number from the randomizer machine; mapping the number from the randomizer machine to a number in the first number range using the first data map; mapping the number from the randomizer machine to a number in the second number range using the second data map; and concurrently resolving the first and second games of chance based on the input data from the randomizer machine, whereby a plurality of disparate games of chance can be predictably decided on the basis of a common randomization event.
