Card gaming machine

Abstract

A card game device is provided in which winning mathematic combinations are used from a single deck of cards using symbols that determine calculations using certain aspects of the game. In this card game no cards are provided to the player. In this card game there could be one or more players. Cards are placed in a game board made out of cloth in which there are nine rectangular shapes displayed in a rectangular array within the center of an octagon shape display. Each bet can be played and/or evaluated using certain aspects of the game. At least some prizes or top winning outcomes for a round of play must include wining outcomes from at least one, and preferably from all bets played by a given player.

1 . A method of conducting a game of chance comprising the steps of:
 a. providing a processor for an electronic gaming device, wherein said processor is configured to graphically output a game table on a display;   b. defining at least a square array of three rows by three columns;   c. defining a deck of cards, and assigning each card in the deck of cards a card symbol, wherein some of the cards symbols are duplicates or triplicates of each other, wherein the number of cards is a preset finite amount;   d. defining betting lines along the rows, columns and diagonals of the square array, receiving bet inputs from players on the betting lines;   e. configuring the processor to select a set of cards from the deck of cards and assigning the selected set of cards to the spaces in the square array, then configuring the processor to cause a graphical display to display the card symbols related to each card in the selected set of cards;   f. determining a payout according to a price board payout chart by comparing all of the selected cards on all of the betting lines and then multiplying the bet by the payout.   g. The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 1 , wherein the card symbols are populated on the square array one at a time with a delay between cards, wherein the card symbols are populated one row at a time.   
     
     
         2 . The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 1 , wherein the price board payout chart is configured to provide a winning bet when at least two of three selected card symbols are consecutive on a betting line in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal orientation from all directions, including left to right, right to left, up to down, down to up, diagonally upper left to bottom right and vice versa, and diagonally lower left to upper right and vice versa.

         5 . The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of configuring the processor to provide a bet jackpot area, and further including a jackpot card in the deck of cards; defining a space in the square array as a jackpot space assigned spot for the jackpot card, wherein the payout table includes a condition of having a jackpot card in the jackpot space, wherein the jackpot is won when the jackpot card appears in the jackpot space. 
     
     
         6 . The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 6 , wherein the jackpot space is defined in the center of the game board, which is space five on a square array of three rows by three columns, wherein the jackpot space is marked as a jackpot space. 
     
     
         7 . The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to allow a jackpot bet on the bet jackpot area only when a player puts a bet in the bet all area and places a fixed wager on the “Jackpot” symbol located on the game board. 
     
     
         8 . The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 8 , wherein the game board has two bet jackpot bet areas, mainly a first bet jackpot area is located on a right side of the game board and second that a bet jackpot area located on a left side of the game board. 
     
     
         9 . The method of conducting a game of chance of  claim 8 , wherein an initial value of the jackpot is seeded at a set amount.
