Multiple number side bet in dice game

Abstract

A system and process for effecting a side bet game during play of an underlying game of craps. The side bet wagers are paid at odds for achievement of consecutive random outcome events after establishment of the Point, with the random outcome events being selected from the non-repeating group consisting of remaining available value numbers of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. Making the original Point may provide an even higher level of resolution of the wager.
