Systems and methods for playing a game of chance with bonus feature

摘要

Systems and methods enable one or more players to play a game of chance. A system includes a processor and a memory device for storing instructions to provide a game of chance in which house indicia are selected from a pool of house indicia, and wherein a payout from a first pay table is awarded if a player matched a plurality of player indicia with the house indicia. The processor randomly selects a plurality of house indicia, provides a random chance of selecting at least one bonus indicia, determines whether player indicia within a pattern match the house indicia, and provides a payout to the player if the bonus indicia matches at least one player indicia within the pattern and if each player indicia within the pattern are matched by the house indicia. The payout is based on a second pay table that is different from the first pay table.

1. A system comprising:
a memory device configured to store instructions that are executable by a processor to provide a game of chance that includes a first pay table and a second pay table different from the first pay table; a randomization device comprising at least one of a mechanical indicia selector, an electromechanical indicia selector, a permutation generator, a hardware-based random number generator (RNG), a firmware-based RNG, and a software-based RNG, wherein said randomization device is configured to:
randomly select a plurality of house indicia from a pool of house indicia; andprovide a random chance of selecting no bonus indicia; and a processor coupled to said memory device for executing the instructions, wherein, when said processor executes the instructions, said processor is programmed to:
provide at least one player card comprising a plurality of player indicia;determine whether each player indicia within at least one pattern is matched by one of the selected plurality of house indicia and provide a payout to the player based on the first pay table if each player indicia within the at least one pattern is matched;if at least one bonus indicia is selected, determine whether the at least one bonus indicia matches at least one player indicia within the at least one pattern;enable the game to be ended with 0 or more of the at least one pattern being matched; andincrease the payout to the player upon the determination that the at least one bonus indicia matches at least one player indicia within the at least one pattern, wherein the increased payout is based on the second pay table.
