KENO WITH ROULETTE CONTENT WAGERS

摘要

A method of playing a side bet wagering game on a gaming system comprising a video display system, a processor and a data entry input system at a defined location. Separate wagers are placed on an underlying keno game or bingo game and a separate roulette game using alphanumerics selected in the keno game to resolve roulette wagers. A Keno game with 40 (plus two additional alphanumerics) or 80 alphanumerics (with 2 or four additional alphanumerics, such as 0, 00, X, XX) may be used. The processor randomly selects at least 10 or 20 alphanumerics to resolve the 40 keno wager. A predetermined one of the at least 10 or alphanumerics is used to resolve the roulette game.

主权项

1. A gaming system comprising a processor, player input position and a video display system, wherein:
the processor is configured to execute code to recognize a wager at a player input position on a first wagering game on at least one array comprising columns and rows; the processor is configured to recognize and display on the video display system a grid of alphanumerics in the array, each alphanumeric within a frame within a grid on which wagers may be placed; the processor is configured to recognize and display on the video display system alphanumerics identified by signals from the player input position as an object of wagers on both a) an underlying game selected from the group consisting of bingo games and keno games and b) specific alphanumeric groups that consist of a subgroup of alphanumerics that are not evaluated by the processor as constituting a winning event outcome in the underlying game; the processor is configured to recognize and display with a first distinguishing characteristic on the video display system each individual alphanumeric or groups of alphanumerics that is the object of wagers on b); the processor is configured to recognize and display on the video display system with a second distinguishing characteristic each randomly selected alphanumeric for use in determining outcomes in the underlying game; the processor is configured to recognize and display on the video display system with a third distinguishing characteristic randomly selected alphanumerics for use in determining outcomes for a side bet game that is the object of wagers on b); the processor displaying with the first, second and third distinguishing highlights the randomly selected alphanumerics for a) and b) on the screen to display outcome results for the underlying wagering game and the side bet game; the processor contemporaneously displaying on the video display system using the first, second and third distinguishing characteristics:
i) original alphanumerics on which no wager has been placed, and for which no randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen,ii) original alphanumerics on which no wager has been placed, and for which a randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen for the underlying game;iii) original alphanumerics on which no wager has been placed, and for which a randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen for the side bet game b),iv) original alphanumerics on which a wager has been placed for the underlying game and for which no randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen,v) original alphanumerics on which a wager has been placed for the side bet game b) and for which no randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen,vi) original alphanumerics on which a wager has been placed for the underlying game and for which a randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen in play of the underlying game,vii) original alphanumerics on which a wager has been placed for the side bet game b) and for which a randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen for use in the underlying game, andviii) original alphanumerics on which a wager has been placed in the side bet game b) and for which a randomly selected alphanumeric has been chosen for use in the side bet game b); the processor comparing outcomes of the randomly selected alphanumerics with alphanumerics selected as wagers on a) and b); and the processor executing code to resolve the wagers a) and b) at player input positions on the underlying wagering game and the side bet game b) based on correspondence of alphanumerics selected as wagers on a) and b) and the alphanumerics that have been randomly chosen by the processor.
