Wagering game using cards and dice

Abstract

A wagering game is disclosed utilizing both cards and dice. The instant invention is a fast-paced game wherein a dealer deals a card to each player making an initial bet, with the player optionally accepting a second card, and determining based on those cards whether to raise the initial bet. Additionally the player may make separate bets on numbers corresponding to the values shown on a plurality of dice, which are rolled after the card draws and raises are made. The player's number bets win based on the number of matches between the number wagered on and the dice shown, with possible increased payouts in the case of certain multiple matches combined with particular cards shown. Additionally, the player wins on the initial bet and raise bets if the total value of cards and dice shown exceed a threshold value without going over a maximum value.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . The method of playing a game using a combination of dice and cards comprising the following steps:
 a. allowing one or more players to make one or more initial wagers;   b. dealing zero or more initial cards bearing indicia to each of said players;   c. dealing zero or more additional cards bearing indicia to each of said players;   d. allowing each of said players to make one or more secondary wagers after said dealing of said additional cards;   e. rolling one or more dice bearing indicia on each face of said dice; and   f. determining the outcome of said primary and secondary wagers based either on the indicia rolled on said dice or on a combination of the indicia rolled on said dice and the indicia displayed on said card(s).   
     
     
         2 . The method of playing a game using a combination of dice and cards comprising the following steps:
 a. allowing one or more players to make one or more initial wagers;   b. dealing zero or more initial cards bearing indicia to each of said players;   c. allowing each of said players to make one or more secondary wagers after said dealing of said initial cards;   d. dealing zero or more additional cards bearing indicia to each of said players;   e. allowing each of said players to make one or more tertiary wagers after said dealing of said additional cards;   f. rolling one or more dice bearing indicia on each face of said dice; and   g. determining the outcome of said primary, secondary, and tertiary wagers based either on the indicia rolled on said dice or on a combination of the indicia rolled on said dice and the indicia displayed on said card(s).   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicia on said faces of said dice are representative of consecutive integral values beginning with one and ending with the number of said faces of said dice. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said indicia on said faces of said dice are representative of consecutive integral values beginning with one and ending with the number of said faces of said dice. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicia on said cards are representative of a numerical value. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said indicia on said cards are representative of a numerical value. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 3  wherein said indicia on said cards are representative of a numerical value. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 4  wherein said indicia on said cards are representative of a numerical value. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicia on said cards are selected from a group consisting of the indicia found on an ordinary 52-card deck. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said indicia on said cards are selected from a group consisting of the indicia found on an ordinary 52-card deck. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 3  wherein said indicia on said cards are selected from a group consisting of the indicia found on an ordinary 52-card deck. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 4  wherein said indicia on said cards are selected from a group consisting of the indicia found on an ordinary 52-card deck. 
     
     
         13 . The method of playing a game using a combination of dice and cards comprising the following steps:
 a. allowing one or more players to make at least one initial wager, wherein said initial wagers further comprise a primary wager and zero or more numbered wagers, wherein each of said numbered wagers corresponds to a given integral number;   b. dealing one or more initial cards bearing indicia to each of said players who made a primary wager;   c. dealing zero or more additional cards bearing indicia to each of said players who made a primary wager;   d. allowing each of said players to make one or more secondary wagers after said dealing of said additional cards;   e. rolling one or more dice bearing indicia on each face of said dice;   f. determining the outcome of each of said players' said primary and secondary wagers by combining the indicia displayed on that player's cards with the indicia displayed on said die or dice and comparing said combination of indicia to a predetermined table of results; and   g. determining the outcome of said numbered wagers by comparing said integral number corresponding to said wager to the indicia displayed on the face(s) of said die or dice.   
     
     
         13 . The method of playing a game using a combination of dice and cards comprising the following steps:
 a. allowing one or more players to make at least one initial wager, wherein said initial wagers further comprise a primary wager and zero or more numbered wagers, wherein each of said numbered wagers corresponds to a given integral number;   b. dealing one or more initial cards bearing indicia to each of said players who made a primary wager;   c. allowing each of said players who made a primary wager to make a secondary wager;   d. dealing zero or more additional cards bearing indicia to each of said players who made a primary wager;   e. allowing each of said players to make one or more tertiary wagers after said dealing of said additional cards;   e. rolling one or more dice bearing indicia on each face of said dice;   f. determining the outcome of each of said players' said primary, secondary, and tertiary wagers by combining the indicia displayed on that player's cards with the indicia displayed on said die or dice and comparing said combination of indicia to a predetermined table of results; and   g. determining the outcome of said numbered wagers by comparing said integral number corresponding to said wager to the indicia displayed on the face(s) of said die or dice.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said indicia on said faces of said dice are representative of consecutive integral values beginning with one and ending with the number of said faces of said dice, and wherein said integral numbers begin with one and end with the number of said faces of said dice. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said indicia on said cards are representative of a numerical value. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14  wherein said indicia on said cards are representative of a numerical value.
