Variant Games of Chance Using Three Dice

Abstract

An apparatus and method of game play comprising three dice. Each of the three dice may be distinctly colored and further include distinct indicia thereon. Preferably, a first die may be six-sided, green in color, and bears a sequential even number (e.g. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) on each if its respective six faces. A second die may be six-sided, yellow in color, and bear a sequential number (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) on each if its respective six faces. A third die may be six-sided, red in color, and bear a sequential odd number (e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11) on each if its respective six faces. Such three dice may be incorporated into short play dice games, long play dice games, casino table games, board games, and the like.

 a. a first die, said first die having six faces wherein each of said six faces respectively comprises one form of sequential even indicia disposed thereon wherein said sequential even indicia comprise the numbers two, four, six, eight, ten, and twelve;   b. a second die, said second die having six faces wherein each of said six faces respectively comprises one form of sequential indicia disposed thereon wherein said sequential indicia of said second die comprise the numbers one, two, three, four, five, and six; and   c. a third die, said third die having six faces wherein each of said six faces respectively comprises one form of sequential odd indicia disposed thereon wherein said sequential odd indicia of said third die comprise the numbers one, three, five, seven, nine, and eleven.   
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising a game surface having a plurality of betting areas. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said first die further comprises a first color, said second die further comprises a second color, and said third die further comprises a third color. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said plurality of betting areas comprises twenty-six betting areas respectively designated with the numbers four through twenty-nine. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein said first color is green, wherein said second color is yellow, and wherein said third color is red. 
   
   
       15 .

       16 . A method of playing a dice game, said method comprising the steps of:
 a. wagering on an outcome of a roll of a first die having six faces wherein each of said six faces respectively comprises one form of sequential even indicia disposed thereon; a second die having six faces wherein each of said six faces respectively comprises one form of sequential indicia disposed thereon; and a third die having six faces wherein each of said six faces respectively comprises one form of sequential odd indicia disposed thereon;   b. rolling said first die, rolling said second die, and rolling said third die;   c. observing said sequential even indicia disposed upon skyward face of said first die; observing said sequential indicia disposed upon skyward face of said second die; observing said sequential odd indicia disposed upon skyward face of said third die; and   d. providing a payout based on said outcome.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein said wagering further comprises providing a first prediction of the cumulative total of indicia of said skyward face of said first die, said skyward face of said second die, and said skyward face of said third die.
