Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates generally to lotto games, and more particularly to lotto games allowing player to choose bet combinations. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Gambling has become very popular all over the world, especially recently. The U.S.A. and several European countries have been operating lotteries for many years. Traditional lotteries usually provide one possibility for gambling, based on the occurrence of a combination of a few numbers or symbols. 
         [0003]    A lotto game that provides various possibilities for gambling can substantially increase revenues for a state and give people additional chances to win. It can also provide more entertainment for people and increase their interest while playing the game. 
         [0004]    According to prior art, some methods and systems were previously proposed. RU2223805 proposes a lotto playing method and playing cards. This method is developed to increase entertaining effect due to construction with increased playing capacities. However, the method disclosed in RU2223805 is limited because it can be used only with “classical” cards. WO 92/16269 and US 2008/0015005 disclose methods for playing wagering game, which are developed to increase wagering opportunities and interest. However, these methods also can be used with classical cards and numbers. US 2007/0082721, US 2006/0073864, U.S. Pat. No. 6,079,713 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,100,139 disclose methods for playing game, which can be used for lotto games. However, all these methods are also using “classical” cards (shown in  FIG. 1 ) and are not generalized to be played using other games such as chess, checkers ( FIG. 15 ), mahjong and domino ( FIG. 28 ). 
         [0005]    U.S. Pat. No. 1,463,871 discloses a game, which is played according to the following rules: cards are drawn out of a deck at random, creating random sequence of suits. Many random sequences are created during the Lotto game: four sequences of cards of the same suit, 13 sequences of cards of the same value, sequence of suits and sequence of values of cards, which are created as derivatives of the said above sequences. Random sequences of cards of the same suit and cards of the same value provide various possibilities for betting, based on choosing combinations of cards of different suits and cards of different values, such as the first card of each suit, the first card of each value and others. In the game disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 1,463,871 the order of cards within each suit is of no importance. There is no mention of values of cards, but even assuming that it is implied in the idea of the game, the order of cards within each value is of no importance either. So, there are at most only two random sequences: of suits and of values of cards. 
         [0006]    It is an object of the present invention to overcome the limitations of prior art. 
         [0007]    It is another object of the present invention to provide a method, which can be used with a large number of games. 
         [0008]    It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method allowing a player to win a prize which is proportional to the complexity of his bets. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0009]    The present invention discloses a method for playing a lotto game, according to one of the preferred embodiments of which, symbols constituting said game are 52 cards of a standard deck of playing cards, and wherein all cards are picked out at random from a deck in order to create random sequences and a player defines himself single cards, suits or values of cards, or more or less complex combinations, variations or permutations thereof to bet according to bet amount and a chance to win. In said method 24 random sequences of five different types are created: sequence of 52 single cards, four sequences of cards of the same suit, 13 sequences of cards of the same value, sequence of suits, which contains additional two sequences: of black suits and of red suits and sequence of values of cards, which contains additional two sequences: of values of picture cards and of values of non-picture cards. The arrangement of cards in four rows according to suit and 13 columns according to value of cards makes visual creation of said random sequences in the course of the game. 
         [0010]    The disclosed method for playing a lotto game provides many possibilities for betting with a wide range of probabilities to win. Due to variety of possibilities the game can be implemented as a classical lottery, as a classical casino game or as a computer game. 
         [0011]    In said method a dealer and a player can be humans or automated systems. Playing the game does not require any skills. Participants of the game can play against a house or against others. 
         [0012]    All the above and other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be further understood through the following illustrative and non-limitative description of preferred embodiments thereof, with reference to the appended drawings, wherein like components are designated by the same reference numerals.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0063]    The present invention discloses a method to play a game based on bets on combinations and sequences of cards. Said method can be implemented in a large number of games, such as one based on decks of cards or chessboards. The description of the present invention and its related embodiments is given while based on examples of implementation of said method with a deck of 52 playing cards ( FIG. 1 ) and chess board ( FIG. 15 ). 
         [0064]    Said method is based on allowing gamblers to choose combinations of cards according to their capacities to bet and to their goals to earn money. 
         [0065]    According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method to play a game can be implemented in a casino, for an entertainment television program or on a computer. 
         [0066]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method of said invention can be played on television as lottery or daily game, according to the number of participants. 
         [0067]    According to one another embodiment of the present invention, to implement the method of the present invention, each player needs a playing desk with tables (shown in  FIGS. 1 to 8 ) and tokens to make various bets. 
       Method&#39;s Implementation Using a Deck of 52 Cards: Rules of the Game 
       [0068]    As the first example, the method disclosed in the present invention can be used with a classical deck of 52 playing cards. Said deck is associated with a playing desk, having a table arranged in four rows according to suit (Spade (S), Club (C), Diamond (D), and Heart (H)) and 13 columns according to cards (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack (J), Queen (Q), King (K), and Ace (A)), according to  FIG. 1 . 
         [0069]    According to still another embodiment of the present invention, 52 cards are drawn out of the deck at random by a dealer and put face up on their spaces in the table. It can be done at random in the following way: the cards are shuffled thoroughly by the dealer and then drawn one after another, consecutively from the upper side of the deck. When all cards are placed face up the game is over. 
         [0070]    According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, when the method is implemented as a computer version of the game, 52 cards of a standard deck of playing cards are placed face down, arranged in four rows according to each suit and 13 columns according to denomination. All cards are numbered with numbers from 1 to 52, according to suits such as, Spades are numbered from 1 to 13, Clubs are numbered from 14 to 26, Diamonds are numbered from 27 to 39, and Hearts s are numbered from 40 to 52. 
         [0071]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, the cards are drawn out randomly and put face up on their places. When all cards are placed face up the game is over. 
         [0072]    According to yet a further embodiment of the present invention, when the method is implemented as a computer version, the program is based on a random numbers generator that has been already invented. When the random numbers generator generates some random number within the range of numbers from 1 to 52, the card with the same number is picked out. 
         [0073]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, the following results are written down during the game:
       in which sequence cards of each suit are drawn out among them (sequence of cards of the same suit);   in which sequence cards of each value are drawn out among them (sequence of cards of the same value);   in which sequence the suits are drawn out (the suit is drawn out when all cards of the same suit are placed face up);   in which sequence values of cards are drawn out (the value of cards is drawn out when all cards of the same value are placed face up);   in which sequence picture cards are drawn out among them (picture cards—J, Q, K, A);   in which sequence non-picture cards are drawn out among them (non-picture cards—2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);   which single cards are drawn out: the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth and the last;       
 
         [0081]    According to still a further embodiment of the present invention, when the method is implemented as a computerized version, when the random numbers generator generates some random number within the range of numbers from 1 to 52, a card with the same number is illuminated. 
         [0082]    According to one another embodiment of the present invention, when all cards are illuminated the game is over. 
       Method&#39;s Implementation Using a Deck of 52 Cards: Rules of Bets

         [0170]    According to still another embodiment of the present invention, there is another way to make bets in casinos, using two kinds of tokens: with numbers and without numbers. A number of a token shows an ordinal number of a card or suit in a sequence. Each table has only one row. Tokens without numbers can be used to make bets on combinations of cards or suits. 
         [0171]    As an example,  FIG. 6  shows a table, which can be used for picture cards, to make bets on:
       a sequence of the first two picture cards (tokens with numbers);   a combination of the first two picture cards (tokens without numbers);   a sequence of the four picture cards (tokens with numbers).       
 
         [0175]    As an example,  FIG. 8A  shows a table, which can be used for non-picture cards, to make bets on:
       the first and the second of nine (sequence of the first two non-picture cards). Tokens with numbers;   The first two of nine (combination of the first two non-picture cards). Tokens without numbers.       
 
         [0178]    As another example,  FIG. 8B  shows a table, which can be used in order to make bets on a sequence of the first two cards of all values (tokens with numbers); or to make bets on a combination of the first two cards of all values (tokens without numbers). Said table can be used for writing down a sequence of 13 values of cards. 
         [0179]    As yet another example,  FIG. 8C  shows a table, allowing making bets on a sequence of the first two cards of all values (regular tokens without numbers). 
         [0180]    According to one another embodiment of the present invention, in the computer game implementation of the method, it can be done by means of a program. 
         [0181]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, a computer implementation of the method can use, as an example, combo-boxes. A number of a combo-box shows an ordinal number of a card or suit in a sequence. Combo-boxes without numbers can be used to make bets on combinations of cards or suits.  FIGS. 9A ,  9 B,  9 C and  9 D show examples of tables, which can be used for a sequence of four cards of each picture card.  FIG. 9E  shows example of tables, which can be used for sequence of the first two cards of each non-picture card.  FIGS. 9F and 9G  show examples of tables, which can be used for the first card of each value.  FIG. 10  and  FIG. 10A  show examples of tables, which can be used for sequences of the four picture cards and four suits, respectively.  FIG. 11  schematically shows a set of combo-boxes, which can be used by game participants on a computer version of the method to make bets on a sequence of the first three non-picture cards.  FIG. 12  schematically shows a set of combo-boxes, which can be used by game participants on a computer version of the method to make bets on a combination of the first three non-picture cards.  FIGS. 13A ,  13 B, and  13 C schematically show a few sets of combo-boxes, which can be used by game participants on a computer version of the method to make bets. More particularly, set of combo-boxes of  FIG. 13A  allow making bets on the first card of each suit, and set of combo-boxes of  FIGS. 13B and 13C  allow making bets on a sequence of the first two cards of each suit. 
         [0182]      FIGS. 14A and 14B  schematically show examples of sets of combo-boxes, which can be used by game participants on a computer version of the method to make bets. More particularly, set of combo-boxes of  FIG. 14A  allow making bets on a sequence of the first two single cards, and set of combo-boxes of  FIG. 14B  allow making bets on a combination of the first two single cards. 
       Method&#39;s Implementation Using a Deck of 64 Square Cards: Rules of the Game 
       [0183]    As the second example, the method disclosed in the present invention can be used with a deck of 64 square cards matching 64 squares of a chess board.  FIG. 15  is an example of an implementation of this kind of chess board. 
         [0184]    According to an embodiment of the present invention, each card is of the same color, as an example, black or white, as the matching square of a chess board, and the mark of the square is written on the card. The rear sides of all cards are the same, as in a standard deck of playing cards. 
         [0185]    According to still another embodiment of the present invention, the method can use a playing desk of a dealer with a chess board drawn on it and the tables for writing down the results of the game. 
         [0186]    According to a further embodiment of the present invention, an implementation of the method can use playing desks of all players with tables and tokens to make various bets. 
         [0187]    According to yet a further embodiment of the present invention, 64 square cards are drawn out of the deck at random by a dealer and put face up on their squares of the chess board. It can be done at random in the following way: the cards are shuffled thoroughly by the dealer and then drawn one after another, consecutively from the upper side of the deck. 
         [0188]    According to still a further embodiment of the present invention, and as disclosed in the first example of implementation, when all cards are placed face up the game is over. 
         [0189]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the method is implemented as a computer version of the game 64 squares of the chess board are picked out at random by a program. When the square is picked out its mark appears on the chess board. When all squares are marked the game is over. 
         [0190]    According to still one another embodiment of the present invention, when the method is implemented as a computer version, said program is based on a random numbers generator that has been already invented. As  FIG. 15  shows, all squares of the chess board are numbered with numbers from 1 to 64, such as by columns: “a” from 1 to 8, “b” from 9 to 16, “c” from 17 to 24, “d” from 25 to 32, “e” from 33 to 40, “f” from 41 to 48, “g” from 49 to 56, and “h” from 57 to 64. 
         [0191]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the random numbers generator generates some random number within the range of numbers from 1 to 64, the square of the chess board with the same number is picked out. 
         [0192]    According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the following results are written down during the game:
       in which sequence the squares of the same file are picked out;   in which sequence the squares of the same rank are picked out;   in which sequence the squares of the same diagonal are picked out;   which diagonal is picked out first: black (a 1 -h 8 ) or white (a 8 -h 1 ) (the diagonal is picked out when all squares of the same diagonal are marked);   in which sequence the files (also called columns) are picked out (the file is picked out when all squares of the same file are marked);   in which sequence the ranks are picked out (the rank is picked out when all squares of the same rank are marked);   which single squares are picked out: the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth and the last.       
 
         [0200]    According to an embodiment of the present invention, 64 squares of the chess board are picked out at random. When a square is picked out it is illuminated and when all squares are illuminated the game is over. 
       Method&#39;s Implementation Using a Deck of 64 Cards: Rules of Bets 
       [0201]    According to a further embodiment of the present invention, and as previously disclosed in the first example, before the beginning of each game, participants can bet on various chances. There are following possibilities.

         [0261]    According to one another embodiment of the present invention, in casino implementation of the method to play, participants can submit their variants by putting tokens on appropriate spaces of tables. Each table has numbered rows. A number of a row shows an ordinal number of a file or rank in a sequence. Tables having one row can be used to make bets on combinations of columns or ranks. 
         [0262]    As few examples,  FIGS. 16 and 17  show tables, used for columns, and wherein:
         FIG. 16 , to make bets on the first and the second of eight (sequence of the first two files);     FIG. 17 , to make bets on the first two of eight (combination of the first two files).       
 
         [0265]    As few examples,  FIGS. 18 and 19  show tables, used for ranks, and wherein:
         FIG. 18 , to make bets on the first and the second of eight (sequence of the first two ranks);     FIG. 19 , to make bets on the first two of eight (combination of the first two ranks).       
 
         [0268]    According to an embodiment of the present invention and as disclosed in the first example, there is another way to make bets in casinos, using two kinds of tokens: with numbers and without numbers. A number of a token shows an ordinal number of a file or rank in a sequence. Each table has only one row. Tokens without numbers can be used to make bets on combinations of files or ranks. 
         [0269]    As an example  FIG. 17  shows a table, which can be used to make bets on:
       a sequence of the first two files (tokens with numbers);   a combination of the first two files (tokens without numbers).       
 
         [0272]    As an example  FIG. 19  shows a table, which can be used to make bets on:
       a sequence of the first two ranks (tokens with numbers);   a combination of the first two ranks (tokens without numbers).       
 
         [0275]    According to still an embodiment of the present invention, in the computer game implementation of the method, it can be done by means of a program. 
         [0276]    According to another embodiment of the present invention, a computer implementation of the method can use, as an example, combo-boxes. A number of a combo-box shows an ordinal number of a column or a row in a sequence. Combo-boxes without numbers can be used to make bets on combinations of columns and rows.  FIG. 20  shows an example of table, which can be used for a sequence of the first three files (columns).  FIG. 21  shows an example of table, which can be used for a combination of the first three files (columns).  FIG. 22  shows an example of table, which can be used for a sequence of the first three ranks (rows).  FIG. 23  shows an example of table, which can be used for a combination of the first three ranks (rows).  FIG. 24  shows an example of table, which can be used for a sequence of the first two single squares.  FIG. 25  shows an example of table, which can be used for a combination of the first two single squares (each single square of a chess board can be designated as a combination of a file and a rank).  FIGS. 26A ,  26 B,  26 C and  26 D show examples of sets of combo-boxes which can be used by game participants on a computer version of the method to make bets on a sequence of eight squares of each diagonal: black (a 1 -h 8 ) ( FIGS. 26A and 26B ) and white (a 8 -h 1 ) ( FIGS. 26C and 26D ).  FIGS. 27A and 27B  show examples of tables, which can be used for writing down a sequence of squares of each diagonal: black (a 1 -h 8 ) and white (a 8 -h 1 ). 
         [0277]    According to one another embodiment of the present invention, in the implementation of the method disclosed in the present invention as a television version it can be also done by means of a program through the Internet or by filling in regular lottery tickets with the tables like those used in the casino version of said method. 
         [0278]    According to yet embodiment of the present invention, numbered tables can be used to make bets on sequences of single squares. A number of a table shows an ordinal number of a single square in a sequence. Tables without numbers can be used to make bets on combinations of single squares. One table is needed for each combination. More than one variant can be submitted for such kinds of bets where appropriate. Different stakes can be done on the same kinds of bets. 
         [0279]    According to a further embodiment of the present invention, after finishing the game implementing the method of the present invention, a dealer or program checks the results of bets and calculates the losses and wins of each participant for each kind of bets, a total of each game and aggregate of all games for each participant (all games in which the participant took part). 
         [0280]    According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the method can be implemented in order to generate automatically random sequences to play according to user constraints and to allow said player to make bets on said automatically generated random sequences. 
         [0281]    According to a yet a further embodiment of the present invention, a player can bet on a same combination for more than a draw. 
         [0282]    According to still one another embodiment of the present invention, the cards of the first kind of implementation of the present invention, are picked out at random from a deck and put face up on their places in the table, filling in the rows and the columns and creating random sequences of cards of the same suit in each row and cards of the same value in each column. When cards of a particular suit are picked out in each value of cards, the suit is drawn out and all cards of this suit are placed face up. When cards of a particular value are picked out in each suit, the value of cards is drawn out and all cards of this value are placed face up. When all cards are placed face up the game is over. So, when single cards are picked out at random, cards of the same suit and cards of the same value are picked out in random sequences among them, respectively. The suits and the values of cards are also drawn out in random sequences among them, respectively. The arrangement of cards makes it visual. The same with the squares of a chess board previously disclosed. 
         [0283]    Although embodiments of the invention have been described by way of illustration, it will be understood that the invention may be carried out with many variations, modifications, and adaptations, without exceeding the scope of the claims.
