Game of chance
Abstract
Abstract A TABLE-TYPE BETTING GAME THAT SIMULATES GAMBLING ON RACES AT A HORSE OR DOG TRACK. THE GAME INCLUDES AN AMOUNT OF BET CIRCLE, A NUMBER OF ODDS DISCS, AND A BANK. AN INDICATOR, ROTATED OVER THE BET CIRCLE, DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF A PLAYER''S WAGER. THE BANK IS ALWAYS THE EVENTUAL WINNER, DUE TO SPECIALLY DESIGNED ODDS DISCS. EACH DISC IS DIVIDED INTO SEGMENTS OF VARYING SIZES, AND EACH SEGMENT CARRIES A BETTING ODD, THE RECIPROCAL OF EACH OF THE BETTING ODDS BEING GREATER THAN THE CORRESPONDING SEGMENT''S PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE PERIPHERY OF THE DISC. THE DISCS ARE INTERCHANGEABLE, AND EACH DISC REPRESENTS ONE GAME OR "RACE." AN ARROW ROTATED OVER AN ODDS DISC DETERMINES THE WINNING PLAYER AND THE ODDS HE RECEIVES.
