<p>The present invention is a progressive gaming device conceptually similar to a conventional roulette game. The present invention comprises a modified roulette wheel (11) on a gaming table, a lighted display panel (29) adjacent to the roulette wheel and built into the gaming table, a display unit (19) at the head of the gaming table, a microcomputer (13) and a key pad (31). When played, the present invention allows up to seven players to play. Play is effectuated under special rules, where a modified roulette wheel is spun by the croupier and three ivory balls are spun in a direction opposite the wheel's direction. When all balls fall into slots on the wheel, this information is sent to a nearby microcomputer for display on several display units, thereby allowing a croupier to determine payout and/or the progressive jackpot. The jackpot is progressive in that a percentage of every wager bet is placed back into the jackpot for availability during the next game.</p> |
