Patent ID: 8066562

Claim:
A method of simulating a traditional roulette game experience using a specially designed deck of playing cards to determine play rather than spinning a roulette wheel comprising the following steps: a. drawing a card from a special deck of thirty eight cards wherein each of the cards in the deck contains a unique number and associated color combination of possible numbered pockets that appear on a traditional roulette wheel, b. using a computer to scan the number and color combination appearing on the randomly drawn card by scanning a bar code appearing on the drawn card into a computer wherein said bar code contains non transitory computer readable information corresponding to the number and color combination contained on the drawn card, and having the computer use the scanned information to substitute for a spin of a roulette wheel in a traditional roulette game by using the computer to display on at least one monitor a visual representation of the number and color combination contained on the drawn card.
