COMPUTER-BASED SOLITAIRE GAME WITH STACK-BASED PAY TABLE

摘要

A computer-based solitaire game which collects a player's fee at the start of the game and pays a player award as a function of a per-card payout award and one or more of the number and/or identities of cards that have been transferred from the card deck on foundation stacks. The game further includes a bonus game feature enabling the player to play a non-solitaire game within the solitaire game on the occurrence of a predetermined triggering event in the solitaire game. The per-card payout award of the solitaire game is determined as a function of an expected number of transferred cards, determined as a function of a discrete probability density function calculated in a multi- game simulation. The number of games in the multi-game simulation may be more than one million games. The simulated games are played by applying a set of ordinally- ranked solitaire game play rules.
