Abstract

A method of playing a game, permitting a player to place a bet forecasting separately the outcome of the game and the outcome of one or more other random events.

1 . A method of playing a game utilising a gaming apparatus to generate one of a plurality of specified outcomes upon which a player of the game may place a bet upon that outcome occurring, the method comprising the steps of:—
 a. providing a gaming apparatus capable of generating one of a plurality of specified outcomes;   b. providing a layout having a plurality of betting areas corresponding to said specified outcomes generated by the gaming apparatus, whereby a player may place a bet on the outcome of a play of the gaming apparatus;   c. providing a random generator device to produce one or more random events;   d. providing a plurality of separate multi-choice random event betting areas corresponding to the random events produced by the random generator device, each separate multi-choice random event betting area being associated with one or more different betting areas corresponding to a specified outcome of the gaming machine, whereby a player may place a bet forecasting separately; the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus and a random event produced by the random generator device;   e. allowing a player to place a bet on at least one on: a specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus, and/or the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus and a random event of the random event generator device;   f. playing the gaming apparatus and at the same time generating a random event via the random event generator device;   g. determining whether a player has placed a winning bet; and   h. paying a winning bet.   
     
     
         2 . A method according to  claim 1  in which the random generator device produces a random number, letter, colour or symbol or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         3 . A method according to  claim 1  in which the random generator device is one or more multi-faceted devices displaying numbers, letters, colours or symbols, which device or devices may be real, virtual, mechanical, inert or digital. 
     
     
         4 . A method according to  claim 1  in which there is a one in two chance of predicting the outcome of the or each random event. 
     
     
         5 . A method according to  claim 4  in which the player in addition to predicting the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus must also predict whether a number produced by the random generator device, from a series of numbers, is in a lower half of the series “Lo” or a higher half of the series “Hi”. 
     
     
         6 . A method according to  claim 4  in which the player in addition to predicting the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus must also predict a colour produced by the random generator device from a series of two colours. 
     
     
         7 . A method according to  claim 1  in which there is a one in more that two chance of predicting the outcome of the or each random event. 
     
     
         8 . A method according to  claim 7  in which the or each player in addition to predicting the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus must also predict the number produced by the random generator, from a series of three or more numbers. 
     
     
         9 . A method according to  claim 7  in which the or each player in addition to predicting the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus must also predict; whether a number produced by the random generator device, from an even series of numbers, is in the lower half of the series “Lo” or the higher half of the series “Hi”; and also the colour generated by a second random generator device from a series of two colours. 
     
     
         10 . A method according to  claim 1  in which the player may place multiple bets on the specified outcome generated by the gaming apparatus and one or more other random events produced by the random generator device. 
     
     
         11 . A method according to  claim 1  in which the gaming apparatus may be selected from the group including, playing cards, one or more dice, a roulette wheel and a second random event generator device. 
     
     
         12 . A method according to  claim 1  in which two or more players may place bets.
