Inventor: DUNCOMBE MICHAEL
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: A simple casino gambling game, suitable for new players, involves betting on the value of a single card or of a series of cards. A dealer draws one card from a shuffled deck or decks of conventional 52-card format. If there is a table, each player will have previously laid a bet or bets in his box (1) for the following outcomes: that the card is higher than (HIGH), equal to, or lower than (LOW), 7; or that the card will be of a paticular suit. The dealer then pays for winning outcomes. Alternatively players can bet that runs of up to seven individually drawn cards will be higher or lower than 7 (box 10). Bets can also be made on a jackpot basis, eg on the outcome of the previous five cards, (these cards are displayed in area 11).
