Description

具有多个轮盘的轮盘式游戏装置及其游戏方法
背景技术
轮盘游戏是一种机会游戏,据称自18世纪起就开始以各种形式进行。传统式轮盘游戏为在娱乐场中的台面上进行,其中将轮盘置于靠近台面中心的位置上。欧式轮盘的外围被分成37格,而美式则被分成38格。每一格具有界定格区的外壁,从而在旋转停止之后,球能够停在格区之内。格区的颜色为红黑交替,并且以1到36编号。另外还有一个0号(青色或白色)以及一个00号(美式轮盘)。
台面包含有一个投注所用的下注毡布区(roulette beting feltconfiguration),其包含有与轮盘对应的红色号码区和黑色号码区等等,以对轮盘停止旋转之后球将要停住的位置情况进行投注。所谓“获胜号码”只是游戏轮盘旋转的结果、即由游戏轮盘选出的其中一个号码而已,而不管该“获胜号码”是否与玩家的注额相关。在玩家的选择(或叫下注)中包含有一个“获胜号码”时,即产生所谓的“获胜游戏注”。
如上所述,下注毡布区上的一些号码/格(比如2、4、6、8、10、11、13、15、17、20、22、24、26、28、29、31、33和35)为黑色,而其他(比如1、3、5、7、9、12、14、16、18、19、21、23、25、27、32、34和36)为红色。下注毡布区上还包含有这样一些投注格,比如:“大(manqué)”(1到18)、“小(passé)”(19到36)、“双(pair)”(偶数号码)、“单(impair)”(奇数号码)、“红(rouge)”(红色号码)和“黑(noir)”(黑色号码)。因此,获胜游戏注包括:投在特定获胜号码上的游戏注、投在包含有获胜号码的号码组(比如奇数号码组或“第二打”号码组)上的游戏注、或者投在包含有获胜号码的颜色上的游戏注。
所有游戏注均为对着庄家投入,并通过将游戏注(例如筹码)投在所选的特定号码或者所选的投注类型上来指出,如台面上表示的那样。一旦投入游戏注,“荷官”即开始沿着一个方向旋转轮盘,并且沿着另一个方向将球掷入轮盘中。球最终落在哪一个格区即为旋转的结果,由此指示出获胜号码和颜色。接着用该信息来人工确定哪一份游戏注是获胜游戏注。可允许有各种具有不同赔率和游戏注上限的投注组合,这取决于游戏公司的规定。传统式轮盘游戏的赔率和赢率在本领域中是众所周知的。
尽管可在多数娱乐场等场所中进行轮盘游戏,但是传统式轮盘游戏的游戏进程还是比较慢,因而玩家的兴趣不高。已有一些现有技术的游戏试图对传统式轮盘游戏进行具有吸引力的改进。
Mathews在美国专利号6,209,869中公开了一种进行轮盘式游戏的装置和方式。该装置包含有一个传统式游戏轮盘和四个台面。每一个台面具有一个游戏下区和一个游戏上区,其中每一区均为投注所用。游戏时,在所述单个轮盘上使用四个球,其中每一个球对应于一个台面。下区用作对与特定台面相关的单个球进行投注,而每一个台面的上区用作对游戏中的所有球进行投注。
Bergmann在美国专利号5,259,616中公开了一种投币式游戏机,该游戏机具有一个游戏轮盘状的号码盘和一个设定键盘。操作时,玩家将一枚或多枚硬币投入到硬币插缝中。接着玩家通过键盘选择玩家想要投注的号码。玩家完成投注后,随机号码发生器随机确定获胜号码,接着该获胜号码亮显在号码盘上。所述随机号码发生器还可随机确定一个获胜倍数值,从而可使赢利翻倍增加。
Ronin等人在美国专利号6,083,105中公开了一种计算机化轮盘式的单玩家游戏装置。该装置包含一个可旋转的轮盘,通过一个驱动机构使所述轮盘机械旋转。在游戏中可掷入一个或多个球。在相应的计算机屏幕上显示有一个游戏区,从而提供了一种玩家可投注一份或多份游戏注的方式。
Sher在美国专利号5,755,440中涉及一种可用来进行采用多个球进行轮盘游戏的装置。该装置包含有单个游戏轮盘,所述轮盘具有多个通道,从而可将两个或多个球同时推入轮盘中。
另外,视频孔格游戏(video slots)和扑克游戏通过可将多于一台的机器连接在一起的性能而提供累积奖金,该累积奖金包含多于普通赢利的奖金和/或累积利息,以试图提高游戏的吸引力和给人一种回报率更高的感觉。然而,上述这些已经设计出来的游戏还是不能在一段短的时间之内进行大量的游戏,而这一点在娱乐场中越发变得重要。
的确,游戏产业一直以来都希望能够设计出新的游戏方式,使玩家保持对所述游戏方式感兴趣,从而大大地减少玩家因游戏明显地缺乏吸引力和挑战性而放弃游戏或减少游戏次数的可能性。另外,也希望提供对于现有及通用的游戏方式为新式或有所区别的改进型游戏方式,从而可避免玩家不愿进行游戏以及由于对规则和攻略不熟而可能会在游戏中失利的担心。
因而,本发明的一个目的为提供一种电子游戏装置,所述游戏装置具有娱乐场中的轮盘游戏的刺激性,并且能够同时在多个轮盘上进行投注和/或在每一个显示的游戏轮盘上提供有多个获胜号码。
本发明的第二个目的为提供一种轮盘式游戏装置,该游戏装置提供了具有累积利息或高累积奖金的投注机会,从而提供给进行轮盘游戏或其他游戏方式的玩家最大程度的吸引力。
本发明的另一个目的为提供一种轮盘式游戏装置,该游戏装置能够以视频投币自动机的形式进行,以节省娱乐场宝贵的空间并使游戏的必备设施和营运成本减到最少。
本发明的另一个目的为提供一种轮盘式游戏装置,该游戏装置可自动地确定哪一份注额成为获胜游戏注,并且依据游戏结果重新计算玩家的剩余点数,从而使必须由玩家进行的计算减到最少、还可使娱乐场的雇员减到最少。
本发明的再一个目的为提供一种轮盘式游戏方法,该游戏方法可在娱乐场中的一个游戏专用的视频游戏机上进行。
本发明还有一个目的,即提供一种易于制造且成本不高的电子轮盘游戏装置。
发明内容
结合附图阅读以下本发明的详细描述部分,本发明的上述目的及其他目的、特征和优点即会变得显而易见。
以上所列出的目的可通过本发明的电子游戏装置达到或超越,其中提供了一种电子视频轮盘游戏装置,其至少具有两个轮盘,所述轮盘具有多个号码以提供一种结果。该电子游戏由至少一位玩家进行,该玩家至少作出一个选择或一个投注,当在所作的选择中包含有一个获胜号码时,玩家可得到一份赢利。为了提供视觉上的刺激性以及强调号码产生的随机性,在获胜号码随机选取的过程当中,使轮盘旋转或使其看似旋转。
所述游戏装置包含:一个视频或电子显示装置,用来显示视频游戏;一个输入装置,比如触摸屏、滚球(roller ball)、触摸键区、鼠标、按钮或类似装置,其与电子显示装置可操作性连接,从而玩家可输入单个号码或其他投注选择;一个控制游戏的微处理器;随机产生出至少两个游戏轮盘的旋转结果的装置;至少一个指示件(比如一条支付线),用以指示游戏轮盘的结果;依据结果计算出赢利情况的装置。电子显示装置可包含有一个下注区,以进行投注选择。
游戏装置还可进一步包含:在每一个轮盘上具有多个获胜号码和/或在游戏轮盘上进行投注的装置。采用多个轮盘和/或每个轮盘上的多个获胜号码可得到多个获胜号码,并且根据所下的游戏注可能产生多个获胜游戏注。投注装置可进一步包含通过作出单个投注选择即可在多个轮盘上作出投注的装置。
所述游戏的特征还在于具有奖励、累积奖金、累积利息或其它特殊的奖励,当结果包含一个特别的获胜号码或有一个获胜号码以选定的次数重复出现在不同的轮盘上时,将提供给玩家上述这些奖励。例如,当相同的号码出现在五个游戏轮盘上三次时,给出一个特殊奖励。特殊奖励还可进一步限于在三个相邻的轮盘上或者是在头三个轮盘上出现相同的号码。本发明通过使玩家能够同时进行一个或多个轮盘游戏而可实现所述有关轮盘组合的特殊奖励。
不同于传统的机械式游戏轮盘,本发明可在一个小得多的场所进行轮盘游戏。事实上,本发明确保了游戏能够以标准投币式自动机的方式进行。另外,通过本发明,玩家可同时对多个轮盘进行游戏,而不像传统式轮盘游戏那样最多只能同时对一个或两个轮盘进行游戏。与机械式轮盘游戏相比,依据本发明的装置的成本和维护很有可能更低。
还提供了一种在一个或多个具有号码的游戏轮盘上进行轮盘游戏以产生出一个游戏结果的方式,其中所述方式包含以下步骤:选出将要进行游戏的投注号码或号码组合(例如第一打号码或所有黑色号码);选出将要进行游戏的轮盘数量;选出每一个轮盘的获胜号码数量;在所选的投注选择上投入注额;确定游戏轮盘的结果;依据结果计算出赢利数额。
投入一份单一注额即可在多个游戏轮盘上进行投注。玩家选出注额数、参与游戏的轮盘数量和每一个轮盘上获胜号码的数量。接着将注额数乘以参与游戏的轮盘数量再乘以每一个轮盘上获胜号码的数量。例如,如果有五个轮盘参与游戏(每一个轮盘具有两个获胜号码),则在每一次游戏中总共有十个获胜号码,而在每一次轮盘游戏中玩家的投注为注额的十倍。因此,与传统式轮盘游戏相比,对于玩家而言,所述游戏的进程加快了,同时也能给娱乐场创造更多的收入。
在游戏中,轮盘旋转,当每一个轮盘的获胜号码确定后,则可在庄家和玩家之间对注额进行结算。轮盘能以传统式游戏轮盘的形状、或者以能对三十八个号码(美式轮盘)和三十七个号码(欧式轮盘)进行随机选取的其他号码显示方式显示在电子或视频屏幕上。当结果包含一个号码,该号码作为一个获胜号码和获胜游戏注以选定的次数重复出现时,则提供给玩家一份奖励。
优选实施例采用了视频式投币自动机的轮盘或滚轮来代表至少两个游戏轮盘,其中每一个轮盘具有三十七或三十八个传统式游戏轮盘的号码格。在操作中,轮盘旋转,而停在指示件或支付线上的游戏轮盘号码即为获胜号码,所述指示件或支付线的位置显示在视频式投币自动机的轮盘上。通过启用多条支付线,可在每一个视频游戏轮盘上选出多个获胜号码。本发明的另一个实施例采用了机电式投币自动机轮盘作为一个游戏轮盘类似物(roulette wheel analog),其操作与优选实施例中的视频式投币自动机的轮盘相同。
如上所示,还可由显示在视频或电子屏幕上的、具有多个编号孔格的游戏轮盘的图形来代表游戏轮盘,其中获胜号码由停在获胜号码孔格上的球体的图像来指示。每一个游戏轮盘上多于一个的获胜号码则由落在数个获胜号码孔格上的多个球体的图像来指示。
因此,本发明将传统式轮盘游戏的刺激性带到电子视频式的游戏中。另外,玩家的热烈程度以及游戏公司的创收均得以增加,原因是通过适用于全部参与游戏的轮盘的单次投注选择,玩家即可同时对多个轮盘进行游戏。另外,在每一个轮盘上还可采用多个获胜号码。因此,所下的注额数要乘以参与游戏的轮盘数量再乘以每一个轮盘上的获胜号码数量。
本发明的其他特征和优点将在以下的本发明的详细描述部分和附图部分中进行阐述并变得显而易见。

具体实施方式
本发明可有多种不同的实施方式,附图中显示了一个或多个具体实施例,并且在文中将对所述具体实施例进行详细描述,然而应能理解:本公开只是本发明原理的一个范例而已,本发明申请将仅由权利要求书限定。
详细参看附图,首先看附图1,图中显示了依据本发明第一实施例的游戏装置200。本发明所述游戏可以在任何电子计算装置上进行,但是优选为在娱乐场中进行所述游戏,即作为一个游戏用的视频游戏机。另外该游戏也可以作为一个在线游戏游戏通过广域网(WAN)、局域网(LAN)中的网络在计算机和/或在单个计算机上进行。
在本发明的另一个实施例中,采用了多个同轴的桌面式(table-top)游戏轮盘。在该实施例中,玩家可投一份游戏注,所述游戏注可涵盖游戏轮盘中的其中一个或者全部。还可在每一个游戏轮盘中使用多球,由此增加每一个游戏轮盘可能的获胜号码的数量。因此,刺激程度要比标准式轮盘游戏高得多。
附图1为实施本发明所述游戏的计算或游戏装置200的示意图。游戏装置200包含:一个微处理器201,用以执行一个或多个存储在装置内存207中的程序;一个视频或电子屏显示装置202;一个选择装置205,该选择装置205提供了一种玩家可与游戏装置200互动的方式;外部电源208和/或电池204,其与每一个上述部件电连接以向所述部件供电。内存207、电子屏显示装置202和选择装置205各自与微处理器201连接。
选择装置205包含(但不限于)键区、外部装置(比如外部键盘或鼠标)、和/或一组功能特定的按钮。在优选实施例中,电子显示屏202是一个触摸屏,其兼作选择装置205和电子屏显示装置202。在该实施例中,选择装置205包含有显示在电子屏显示装置202上的“互动式”图标。当玩家碰触电子屏显示装置202上显示有“互动式”图标(现有技术中公知的类型)的部位时,即可产生相同的效果,如同玩家按下一个传统式机电键区按钮一样。游戏装置200还可包含有一个信用卡终端、读卡器或者接收支付的其他类似装置,以向玩家收费或跟踪玩家的游戏活动。
在优选实施例中,如附图3到9所示,由一系列投币式自动机的轮盘的图形来表示所述游戏轮盘。如以下将更详细地进行说明,该实施例还可包含有多条支付线(pay lines),以指示出获胜号码以及调节获胜可能。另外,也可采用游戏轮盘的图形表示。同样地,还可采用机电投币式自动机的滚轮来指示以及随机选出获胜号码。还可使用投币式自动机的孔格来指示获胜号码。
参看附图2,图中显示了一个简易流程图,其说明了在进行一轮游戏中所包含步骤的一个例子。游戏可从步骤300开始,即通过投入硬币、纸钞、代币、借记卡、信用卡、智能卡或类似物以启动装置200,并提供必要的支付。在一个优选实施例中,玩家在开始进行游戏之前,先购买一定的点数。如果玩家点数不足,在允许游戏继续进行之前,计算装置先提示玩家投入更多点数。
游戏启动之后,在步骤301,通过轮盘数量选择钮25(如附图3所示)选出将要参与游戏的游戏轮盘的数量。选择多个轮盘将可产生多个获胜号码,并且取决于所投入的游戏注,将可产生多份获胜游戏注。尽管在所显示和公开的例子中,轮盘的最大数量为五,但是应能理解,在其他实施例中可包含有任意数量的多个轮盘,而不会偏离本发明的范围。除了对轮盘数量进行选择之外,玩家还可在步骤302通过支付线选择钮30(如附图3所示)选择支付线的数量。选择多于一条支付线将可在每一个轮盘中产生多个获胜号码,因而可成倍地增加获胜号码的数量,并且增加赢取多份获胜游戏注的可能性。尽管在所示的实施例中允许有最高达五条的支付线数量,但是应能理解,在其他实施例中可包含有任意数量的支付线而不会偏离本发明的范围。
接着在步骤303,通过游戏注选择钮22(如附图3所示)投入注额(wager)。在步骤304中,玩家的当前余额可显示在点数显示器26上,以使玩家随时知道可用的点数。  一旦投入注额,则在步骤305中,根据轮盘和支付线的数量以及注额计算出总游戏注,并且显示在游戏注显示器23上。具体地,总游戏注等于所投的注额数乘以所启用的轮盘数量再乘以所选择的支付线数量。轮盘和支付线数量的增加可产生更大的刺激性,并可使玩家的下注更大。因此,与标准式轮盘游戏和游戏相比,可增加娱乐场潜在的收入。尽管优选为所有的注额均采用相同的游戏注数额,但是应能理解,对于不同的注额可采用不同的游戏注数额而不会偏离本发明的范围。
接着在步骤306,通过微处理器201的操作系统,旋转所选定的轮盘,或是使其看似“旋转”。在步骤307,使用一个运用随机函数(randomfunction)的随机号码发生器以确定多个游戏轮盘号码中的哪一些将被选定作为潜在的获胜号码(所述潜在获胜号码的数量等于轮盘数量乘以支付线数量)。在步骤308中,微处理器计算出并且控制可能的获胜号码的显示,以及确定哪一些获胜号码包含有获胜游戏注。在步骤309中,一旦确定是否有哪一个游戏注是获胜游戏注,玩家帐户中的余额即相应地被更新。同样地,微处理器及其所包含的软件将计算并显示出总游戏注、点数、剩余点数,以及进行所有类似的数值运算操作。一旦游戏活动结束,该装置将在步骤310中显示出一个信息,询问是否还要进行下一个游戏。如不,游戏在步骤311中结束。
现参看附图3到9,图中显示了具有不同的注额、轮盘数量和支付线数量的一系列不同游戏的结果。如附图3所示,优选地,电子屏显示装置202包含有:一个轮盘区域11;一个下注区域12;游戏注输入和显示区域50;游戏按钮20和21;可用的总余额显示器26。下注区域12包含有各种可用的下注方式。在附图所示的例子中,游戏注可以投在:一个或多个特定号码1-36(29)、0(27)和/或00(28)上;特定号码组,比如“第一打”号码、“第二打”号码和“第三打”号码(30)上;附加号码组,比如“1到18”组和/或“19到36”组(31)上;偶数和/或奇数号码;红和/或黑(39)。
轮盘区域11显示了参与游戏的五个游戏轮盘(14-18)。游戏注输入和显示区域50可包含各种显示,包括但不限于:所选支付线的数量显示24、所选轮盘的数量显示25、单份注额或游戏注数额22和总游戏注23。
在附图3的屏幕所显示的实施例中,玩家已经投注五点(如显示器22所示)于五个游戏轮盘(14-18)中的每一个上(如显示器25所示)。选择了单条支付线13(如显示器24所示)。因此,总游戏注(计算方法为:注额(5点)×轮盘数量(5)×支付线数量(1))为二十五点,如显示器23所示。
可用游戏按钮20和21来清除游戏或进行游戏。特别地,可碰触、按压清除按钮20或以其他公知方式来启动清除按钮20,以清除结果和/或所有现存的游戏注等。相似地,也可通过碰触、按压或其他公知方式来启动旋转按钮21,以使轮盘(14-18)开始旋转。
在附图3中显示了带有一条选定支付线的五个轮盘的旋转结果。潜在的获胜号码为那些位于支付线13上的号码,亦即5、13、27、20和35。由于已投注了五点于红色上,因而轮盘旋转之后任何落在支付线上的红色号码都将是获胜号码。在该例子中,  “红色”游戏注的赢利支付比率为1份赢2份(2for1)、即注额的2倍。由于注额为五点,因而每一个红色号码将获得赢利十点。在该实例中,轮盘14和16上的号码5(33)和27(34)击中支付线13,且两个均为“红色”号码,因而赢利为十的两倍、即二十点,如显示器19所示。由于玩家投注了二十五点,而仅赢利20点,所以结果为净赔五点。因而,从总点数上扣除五点,还剩余990点,如显示器26所示。
在附图3中所示的游戏通过按下清除钮20而被清除之后,进行了下一个游戏,其结果如附图4所示。在附图4所示的例子中,如显示器25和24所分别显示,仅选择一个游戏轮盘14和一条支付线13。因而,没有显示轮盘(15-18)。参看下注区域12,玩家投注五点(22)于“奇数”(32)上。因而,总游戏注为五点(计算方式为:注额(5)×轮盘数量(1)×支付线数量(1)),如显示器23所示。
轮盘14“旋转”之后,随机号码发生器确定了获胜号码27(为一个“奇数”号码)(35),其出现在支付线13上,从而确定了获胜游戏注。在该例子中,“奇数”游戏注的赢利支付比率为1赢2。由于27是一个“奇数”号码,同时玩家已在“奇数”(32)上投注了五点,因而游戏赢利为十点,如显示器19所示。因而,净赢利为五点,即十点减去游戏注五点,接着该净赢利被加到总余额上,得到995点,如显示器26所示。
在附图4中所示的游戏结束之后,进行了另一个游戏,其结果如附图5所示。如附图5所示,在该游戏中选择了三个轮盘(14-16)和一条支付线13,如显示器25和24所示。游戏注为五点(22),分别投在数字16(40)、17(39)、19(37)和20(38)上。这使得总游戏注为五点乘以四个数字再乘以三个轮盘、即六十点,如显示器23所示。如轮盘区域11所示,通过“旋转”而得出的、支付线13所指示的获胜号码为第一个轮盘14上的号码19(36)、第二个轮盘15上的号码24和第三个轮盘16上的号码29。由于号码19(36)已经被投注(37),所以被投注的号码19(37)为一个获胜游戏注。由于单个号码游戏注通常的赢利支付比率为1赢36,所以总赢利将为三十六乘以五点(游戏注数额)、即等于180点,如显示器19所示。因而,玩家的净收益将为赢利的180点减去输掉的60点(总游戏注),从而结果为净赢利120点。接着该净赢利被加到显示器26所示的总余额上,显示出余额为1115点。
在附图5中所示的游戏结束之后,附图6中所示的例子显示了一个游戏,其中选择了五个轮盘(14-18)和一条支付线13,如显示器25和24所示。一份十点的游戏注投在“第二打”(41)上。因此,总游戏注为十点乘以五个轮盘再乘以一条支付线、即等于五十点,如显示器23所示。在进行游戏之前,显示器19提示玩家再投入游戏注或按下旋转按钮。玩家也可以改变所想要的游戏轮盘和支付线的数量。在一个实施例中,可通过按下游戏注输入和显示按钮22和选定下注区域12上的下注而投入附加游戏注。
通过按下旋转按钮21,轮盘即旋转。一旦轮盘停止旋转,获胜号码即可显示出来。如附图6所示,支付线13上的获胜号码为26、27、2、9和1。然而,由于这些号码没有一个数字属于“第二打”组(即13到24),玩家输掉全部五十点的游戏注,并且剩余点数的显示被更新,指示出总余额为1065,如显示器26所示。
附图7和8中显示了一个具有五个轮盘和三条支付线的例子。由于有三条支付线,每一个轮盘具有三个潜在的获胜号码。如下注区域12所示,一份十点的游戏注投在“第二打”(41)上,由于有五个轮盘(14-18)和三条支付线(62、13和63),总游戏注为十点乘以五再乘以三、即150点。由于投注在“第二打”上,获胜号码为出现在其中一条支付线上的、13到24之间的那些号码。在该实例中,所述获胜号码包含有20(46)和13(56),所述号码分别属于轮盘14和15,并且位于中部支付线13上。另外,如附图8所示,数字14(66)(第4个轮盘上的第4个号码)也是一个获胜号码,其位于第3条支付线63上。在该例子中,投注在“第二打”上的游戏注赢率(the odds of a bet)为1赢3。因此,总赢利为三个获胜号码乘以三再乘以十点、即等于90点。因而在该例子中,从赢利数额中减去游戏注数额(150点)得到60点的净赔,如显示器26所示,显示器26已经被更新,显示出1005的总点数(比附图6中先前的1065点有所减少)。
现参看附图9,图中显示了一个游戏的结果,在该游戏中选择了五个轮盘(14-18)和五条支付线(73、53、13、63和83)。如显示器22和下注区域12所示,一份五点的游戏注投注在数字16(42)上。总游戏注为五个轮盘乘以五条支付线再乘以五点、即等于125点,如显示器23所示。如上所述,可通过按下按钮20和21来清除以及旋转轮盘。
旋转的结果为号码16(76)两次成为获胜号码:一次出现在支付线73以及第4个轮盘(17)上、一次出现在支付线53以及第1个轮盘(14)上。由于每一个被“击中(hit)”的单个号码的赢利支付比率为1赢36,因此赢利为三十六乘以五点再乘以两个被击中的号码、即等于360点。因此,显示器19显示出每一个被击中的号码“16”的赢利为180点、以及总赢利为360点。在附图9所示的例子中,由于有多于一个轮盘在支付线的其中一条上出现相同的获胜号码,赢利中可包含有一个奖励。此种奖励可预先选定,依据有多少个轮盘出现了作为获胜号码以及获胜游戏注的特定数字,从而提供一个特殊的赢利。
例如,当结果包含有一个特定的号码选择、或者有一个号码以选定的次数重复出现在不同的轮盘上时,可给出奖励、累积奖金、累积利息(progressive)或者其他特殊的奖励。例如,特殊奖励可在这些情况下给出:特定的“当日号码”或“匹配号码”出现时;或相同号码以特定次数出现在多个游戏轮盘上时。特殊奖励还可进一步限于在三个相邻的轮盘上出现相同的号码,或者是在头三个轮盘上出现相同的号码。本发明通过使玩家实际上可以同时以任何数量的轮盘进行游戏而可实现所述有关轮盘组合的特殊奖励。
为了说明和论述本发明,以上已经对本发明的一个或多个实施例进行了描述,但是这种描述并非包罗一切或将本发明限于所公开的具体形式。所述描述被选择用来最佳地解释本发明的原理和这些原理的实际应用,以确保本领域的其他技术人员能够最佳地在各种实施方式和各种改进中应用本发明,其中所述各种改进适合预期的特定用途。本发明的范围将不受限于说明书部分,而是由权利要求书限定。
应能理解,描述与此的当前优选实施例的各种变化和改进对于本领域的技术人员而言是显而易见的。这些变化和改进不会偏离本发明的精神和范围,也不会降低其预期优点。因此,这些变化和改进将涵盖在权利要求书中。
