Games of chance

Abstract

Games of chance based on linking or connecting randomly presented data sets which are compared to each other in order to determine whether or not a connection exists between them in which data sets which are identical may link or connect to each other, or be linked or connected to each other, and which can be played in multiple formats, both tangible and “virtual”, and include such formats as card games, dice, spinning wheels or mechanical or computer-video versions of slot-type games.

1 . Games of chance with at least one player comprising the steps of: 
 providing a plurality of separate sets of game information;    randomizing or mixing said plurality of separate sets of game information;    a player randomly receiving a first set of game information, and at least one second set of game information from said mixed plurality of separate sets of game information;    the attempt to connect said random first set and said at least one random second set of game information via at least one element shared in common between the at least two sets;    the repetition of said attempt to connect said random first set and said at least one random second set of game information until said attempt is successful whereupon the player wins.    
   
   
       2 . Games of chance of claim one, wherein: 
 said separate sets of game information are the identities of famous entertainers;    said randomizing or mixing said plurality of separate sets of game information is accomplished by a computer program in conjunction with a computer capable of running the computer program;    said attempt to connect said random first set and said at least one random second set of game information is accomplished by computer program.    
   
   
       3 . Games of chance of claim one, wherein: 
 said attempt to connect said random first set and said at least one random second set of game information is based on a motion picture in which the actor of said random first set of game information and the actor of said at least one random second set of game information each play at least one role.    
   
   
       4 . Games of chance with at least one player, wherein:
