Abstract:
1. A method of conducting a secondary wagering game with the underlying game of Roulette for use with American and European Roulette wheels having conventional single-zero or double-zero pockets and pocket indicia displayed thereon and an associated display device for displaying a virtual representation of a Roulette layout, comprising the steps of: a) receiving a secondary game wager from a player relating to the secondary wagering game independently of any wagers received in the underlying Roulette game, wherein the secondary game wager is only resolvable after a preset amount of random Roulette outcomes greater than two have been obtained in the two or more instances of play of the underlying Roulette game subsequent to the receipt of the secondary game wager from the player; b) generating the preset amount of random Roulette outcomes in the underlying Roulette game, each of the Roulette outcomes generated being used to determine the outcome of wagers placed in the underlying Roulette game independently of the secondary wagering game, wherein each of the random Roulette outcomes identifies a specific number and a specific color from the indicia displayed on the pockets of one of either an American or a European Roulette wheel; c) indicating each random Roulette game outcome of the preset amount by displaying a virtual marker on the Roulette layout shown on the display device until the preset amount of random Roulette outcomes have been generated, wherein the indicated Roulette game outcomes are associated only with the player from which the secondary game wager is received; d) comparing the indicated Roulette game outcomes of the preset amount with preset criteria responsive to the preset amount of random Roulette outcomes being generated, wherein the preset criteria defines a relationship between the identified numbers, the identified colors, or both of the identified numbers and the identified colors of the Roulette outcomes and one or more poker rankings, the relationship being independent of the outcome of any wagers received in the underlying Roulette games generated; e) providing a payout to the player from which the secondary game wager is received corresponding to the secondary game wager if the preset criteria is satisfied; and f) collecting the secondary game wager if the preset criteria is not satisfied.
