Aces are counted as one with tens and face cards counted as zero. and all other cards at face value. Only the last digit is counted so that the cards always add up to no more than nine. If the first two card total dealt to the player boxes equals 0 to 5, the player hand 15 is dealt another card, and the banker hand 17 is dealt another card if the first two cards in the banker boxes equal 0 to 2.

The invention, therefore, includes a method of combining the play of baccarat and craps comprising the basic step of offering a tie wager 24 to each player whereby the player may wager that the player hand 15 will tie the banker hand 17. More specif cally, the steps include offering a baccarat wager in the form of a player wager 18 that the player hand 15 will win, offering a baccarat wager in the form of a banker wager 20 that the banker hand 17 will win, and offering a baccarat wager in the form of a tie wager that the cards of the player hand 1, will tie the cards of the hanker hand 17 in accordance with the rules of baccarat. Each player places either a banker wager on the banker wager box 20 immediately in front of the player or a player wager on the player wager box 18 immediately in front of the player. In addition to placing either a player wager or a banker wager, each player may also place a tie wager 24 on his player number( 1, ?, .
. 7) on the tie wager indicia 24. These wagers may be placed by placing one or more chips on any one of the wager indicia 18, 20 and 24.
The next step is the offering of a first accumulated pot wager at first odds on the first craps indicator 12 including the first group of dice numners totaling either of the natural numbers 7 or I 1, but only to each player who placed a baccarat wager on one of the banker and player wager indicia 18 and 20 and/or the tie wager indicia 24.
In other words, to participate in an accumulated pot, a player must place a baccarat wager on at least one of the baccarat wager indicia i 8, 20 and 24, it being evident that the player can only bet on either the player hand 15 or the banker hand 17 to win but in addition to one of those bets, may also place a wager on the tie wager indicia 24.
Simultaneously, each player who has placed a baccarat wager is also offered a second accumulated pot wager -- ~at second odds on the second craps indicator 14 including the second group of dice numbers totaling any of the craps numbers 2, 3 or 1Z as well as a third accumulated pot wager at third odds on the third craps indicator 16 including the third group of dice numbers totaling any of the point numbers 4, S, 6, 8, 9, or I D.
The play continues by presenting at least two cards to each of the player hand and the banker hand 17 at the respective boxes 15 and 17. Of course, additional cards are delivered to each of the player 15 and banker I7 hands in accordance with the rules of baccarat.
At this point, the next step is normally the settling of the baccarat wagers in accordance with house rules. Usually, the player and banker indicia wagers 18 and 20 are paid one for one whereas the tie wagers are paid nine for one, as indicated above the player numbers 24.
In the event tl3e player hand 15 does not tie the banker hand 17, the respective first, second and third accumulated pot wagers are accumulated into respective first, second and third accumulated pots without payout until the banker hand 17 ties the player hand 15 under the rules of baccarat with a predetermined combination of cards.
Although any desi~ated cards may comprise the predetermined combination, the preferred predetermined combination of cards includes a nine of spades in each of the player 15 and banker 17 hands with the second card in each hand being a value of ten.
When the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 with that predetermined combination of cards, the next step is selecting a player from a first -.group of players who placed a baccarat wager 18 or 20 andlor 24 and placed a first accumulated pot wager 12 to roll two dice for the first group of dice numbers.
Also included is the step of selecting a player from a second group of players who placed a baccarat wager 18 or 20 and/or 24 and placed a second accumulated pot wager 14 to roll two dice for the second group of dice numbers when the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 with that predetermined combination of cards.
The method also includes the step of selecting a player from a third group of players who placed a baccarat wager 18 or 20 and/or 24 and placed a third accumulated pot wager I6 to roll two dice for the third group ofdice numbers when the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 with that predetermined combination of cards.
Obviously, since there is only one pot for each of the accumulated pot wagers 12, 14 and 16, only one player will be selected to roll for that pot. This selection is accomplished randomly, as by card draw, or the like.
Once the player from the first group has rolled the dice for the first accumulated pot, the first accumulated pot is disbursed to the first group of players when the result of the roll of the dice by the selected player for the first soup equals one of the numbers in the first group. In other words, if the player selected to roll the dice far the first accumulated pot, which resulted from the accumulated wagers on the first craps indicators 12, rolls dice on which the dots on the dice total either of the natural numbers 7 or ll, the fil-st pot is divided and disbursed to all of the players in that first group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 12. Preferably, the first accumulated pot is disbursed 1 S seventy-five percent (75%) to the player selected to roll the dice with the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) spilt equally among the remaining players of that first group -.of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 12. In a like fashion, the second accumulated pot is disbursed to the second group of players when the result of the roll of the dice by the selected player for the second group equals one of the numbers in the second group. If the player selected to roll the dice for the second accumulated pot, which resulted from the accumulated wagers on the second craps indicators 14, rolls dice on which the dots on the dice total anyone of the craps numbers 2, 3 or 12 , the second accumulated pot is divided and disbursed to all of the players in that second group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 14. Preferably, the second accumulated pot is disbursed eighty-five percent (85%) to the player selected to roll the dice with the remaining fifteen percent ( 15%) spilt equally among the remaining players of that first group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 14. The third accumulated pot is disbursed to the third group of players when the result of the roll of the dice by the selected player for the third group equals one of the numbers in the third group. More specifically, if the player selected to roll the dice for the third accumulated pot, which resulted from the accumulated wagers on the third craps indicators 16, rolls dice on which the dots on the dice total any of the point numbers 4, 5, 6. 8. 9 or 1 D, the third pot is divided and disbursed to all of the players in that third group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia I6. Preferably, the third accumulated pot is disbursed sixty percent (60%) to the player selected to roll the dice with the remaining forty percent (40%) spilt equally among the remaining players of that first group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 16. Accordingly, a major portion of each accumulated pot is disbursed to the player randomly selected to roll the dice for the group of players with the remainder of the that particular accumulated pot divided among the remaining players in that group.
On the other hand, is the event there is no tie with the predetermined combination of cards, a tie between the player hand 15 and the banker hand 17 may still occur other than with the predetermined combination of cards. In that case, the step is included of offering the roll of two dice to each qualifying player who placed a tie wager when the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 under the rules of baccarat other than with the predetermined combination of cards. In other words, there is no possibility of any player winning an accumulated pot, yet each player who placed a tie wager is offered the roll of the dice. However, before each qualified player rolls the dice, each of the other players is offered a craps wager on the first 12. second 14 and third 16 groups of dice numbers. The offer of a craps wager based upon the roll of two dice is successively made to each player when the player hand 15 ties the banker hand 17;
however, in the preferred play, this offer of the roll of the dice is made only to the players who placed a tie wager on the player's number in the tie wager indicia 24.
Each player who qualifies may make a craps wager by placing a wager of chips on one of the three wager areas 12,14 or I6. In other words, the offer of a craps wager is for only on any one of the first 12, second-14 or third 16 groups of dice numbers to each player before each qualifying player rolls the dice. T'he amount of the wager, however, may be a multiple of the baccarat wager placed by that player, e.g., two times the wager the player made on either the player hand 15 or banker hand 1?. After each qualified player places a craps wager, the first qualified player then rolls the dice and the wager for each player is settled based upon the outcome of the roll of the dice. This comprises the step of settling the craps wagers based the outcome of the roll of the dice in accordance with the first, second and third odds as set forth in the odds indicia 22. The next qualified player, i.e., the next player who placed a tie wager, then rolls the dice after having placed the craps wager in one of the three areas 12,14 or 16. As set forth above, the offering of the craps wager includes the offer of a plurality of alternative dice number combinations in the first 12, second 14 and third 16 groups having different betting odds. More specifically, the first group of natural dice numbers 7 or II in the first craps indicator 12 for each player pays at first odds of nine for two; the second group of craps dice numbers 2, 3 or 12 in the second craps indicator 14 for each player pays at second odds of nine for one and the third group of point numbers 4, S, 6, 8, 9, or I D in the third craps indicator 16 for each player pays at third odds of three for two. Therefore, the dice number combinations of the natural 7 or ll are at first odds, the dice number combinations of any craps ?. 3 or I?
are at second odds, and the remaining dice number combinations of the point numbers 4. 5, 6, &, 9, or 1 D are at different third odds. Of course, these odds may vary as in accordance with individual house rules.
The play of baccarat is based upon at least one and usually a plurality of card decks each having fifty-two cards divided into four suites of duces through aces and the play of craps based upon two dice each having six faces numbered one to six.
It involves the placing of a wager.- on behalf of each player for either the player or the banker cards to win by placing chips in either the player box or the banker box in front each player.
The dealer, or machine, presents two cards to the player and two cards to the banker by placing the cards on the respective card boxes. As is normal in the game of baccarat, additional cards are sequentially presented to each the player 15 and the banker 17 hands in accordance with the rules set forth above. Thereafter, the baccarat wagers are paid or settled in accordance with whether the player band 15 or banker hand 17 wins, and 1 S dependent upon whether the player wagered on the player hand 15 or the banker hand I7, or, in the event of a tie, pays to each player having made a bet on the tie.
The opportunity - ,or option to roll two dice is dependent upon the player hand 15 tieing the banker hand 17 and is presented to each player who made a tie wager when the tie is with cards other than the predetermined combination of cards. However, before the roll of the dice, each qualified player, i.e., each player who participated in the hand, establishes a craps wager, if the player wishes to participate, based upon the roll of the two dice by placing chips on one of the three circles defining the craps indicators 12, 14 or 16, which indicate the groups of dice numbers and odds of the roll. Each qualified player then rolls the dice once and his craps wager is settled based the outcome ofthe roll of the dice and the odds for the group on numbers 12, 14 or 16 for which the dice were rolled. The next qualified player is then offered the craps wager and the roll of the dice with each player again offered a craps wager on one of the craps indicators 12, 14 or 16 . A player qualifies to roll the dice when having placed a tie wager and the player hand 15 ties the banker hand 17. However, the additional players who did not place a tie wager may or may not be allowed to make a craps wager on the roll of the dice by the player who did place the tie wager. This will depend upon the house rules. For example, the player who only wagered on either the player hand 15 or the banker hand 17, i.e., participated in the hand of baccarat, may be allowed to place a craps wager.
Accordingly, at one seating a player may play baccarat and qualify to further bet on a craps roll of the dice each time the dealer or machine presents cards in the player hand 15 which tie the card count in the banker hand 17. This includes offering a plurality of craps wagers based respectively on a plurality 12, 14 and 16 of groups of dice numbers with each group of dice numbers having different betting odds; establishing a craps wager on at least one of the groups 12,14 and 16 of dice numbers for each participating player;
offering the roll of two dice to at least one player when the cards of the player hand 15 .ties the cards of the banker hand 17 under the rules of baccarat; and settling the craps wagers based the outcome of the roll of the dice. As explained above, however, this craps wager may be executed by the placing of accumulated pot wagers which can only be won by the player hand 15 being the banker hand 17 with a predetermined combination of cards. Alternatively, this craps wager may be executed by offering it to the players participating in the game when the player hand 15 ties the banker hand 17 with other than the predetermined combination of cards. In this latter situation, the offer to roll the dice is only made to a qualifying player who has placed a tie wager.
As will be appreciated, the steps of the method may be executed in anv order and is not to be restricted to the order described or claimed.
The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, wherein reference numerals are.merely for convenience and are not to be in any way Limiting, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

The board may include other informative indicia like how the cards are counted and the rules of how the cards are dealt. Aces are counted as one with tens and face cards counted as zero. and all other cards at face value. Only the last digit is counted so that the cards always add up to no more than nine.

The invention, therefore, includes a method of combining the play of baccarat and craps comprising the basic step of offering a tie wager 24 to each player whereby the player may wager that the player hand 15 will tie the banker hand 17. More specif cally, the steps include offering a baccarat wager in the form of a player wager 18 that the player hand 15 will win, offering a baccarat wager in the form of a banker wager 20 that the banker hand 17 will win, and offering a baccarat wager in the form of a tie wager that the cards of the player hand 1, will tie the cards of the hanker hand 17 in accordance with the rules of baccarat. Each player places either a banker wager on the banker wager box 20 immediately in front of the player or a player wager on the player wager box 18 immediately in front of the player. In addition to placing either a player wager or a banker wager, each player may also place a tie wager 24 on his player number( 1, ?, .
. 7) on the tie wager indicia 24. These wagers may be placed by placing one or more chips on any one of the wager indicia 18, 20 and 24.
The next step is the offering of a first accumulated pot wager at first odds on the first craps indicator 12 including the first group of dice numners totaling either of the natural numbers 7 or I 1, but only to each player who placed a baccarat wager on one of the banker and player wager indicia 18 and 20 and/or the tie wager indicia 24.
In other words, to participate in an accumulated pot, a player must place a baccarat wager on at least one of the baccarat wager indicia i 8, 20 and 24, it being evident that the player can only bet on either the player hand 15 or the banker hand 17 to win but in addition to one of those bets, may also place a wager on the tie wager indicia 24.
Simultaneously, each player who has placed a baccarat wager is also offered a second accumulated pot wager -- ~at second odds on the second craps indicator 14 including the second group of dice numbers totaling any of the craps numbers 2, 3 or 1Z as well as a third accumulated pot wager at third odds on the third craps indicator 16 including the third group of dice numbers totaling any of the point numbers 4, S, 6, 8, 9, or I D.
The play continues by presenting at least two cards to each of the player hand and the banker hand 17 at the respective boxes 15 and 17. Of course, additional cards are delivered to each of the player 15 and banker I7 hands in accordance with the rules of baccarat.
At this point, the next step is normally the settling of the baccarat wagers in accordance with house rules. Usually, the player and banker indicia wagers 18 and 20 are paid one for one whereas the tie wagers are paid nine for one, as indicated above the player numbers 24.
In the event tl3e player hand 15 does not tie the banker hand 17, the respective first, second and third accumulated pot wagers are accumulated into respective first, second and third accumulated pots without payout until the banker hand 17 ties the player hand 15 under the rules of baccarat with a predetermined combination of cards.
Although any desi~ated cards may comprise the predetermined combination, the preferred predetermined combination of cards includes a nine of spades in each of the player 15 and banker 17 hands with the second card in each hand being a value of ten.
When the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 with that predetermined combination of cards, the next step is selecting a player from a first -.group of players who placed a baccarat wager 18 or 20 andlor 24 and placed a first accumulated pot wager 12 to roll two dice for the first group of dice numbers.
Also included is the step of selecting a player from a second group of players who placed a baccarat wager 18 or 20 and/or 24 and placed a second accumulated pot wager 14 to roll two dice for the second group of dice numbers when the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 with that predetermined combination of cards.
The method also includes the step of selecting a player from a third group of players who placed a baccarat wager 18 or 20 and/or 24 and placed a third accumulated pot wager I6 to roll two dice for the third group ofdice numbers when the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 with that predetermined combination of cards.
Obviously, since there is only one pot for each of the accumulated pot wagers 12, 14 and 16, only one player will be selected to roll for that pot. This selection is accomplished randomly, as by card draw, or the like.
Once the player from the first group has rolled the dice for the first accumulated pot, the first accumulated pot is disbursed to the first group of players when the result of the roll of the dice by the selected player for the first soup equals one of the numbers in the first group. In other words, if the player selected to roll the dice far the first accumulated pot, which resulted from the accumulated wagers on the first craps indicators 12, rolls dice on which the dots on the dice total either of the natural numbers 7 or ll, the fil-st pot is divided and disbursed to all of the players in that first group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 12. Preferably, the first accumulated pot is disbursed 1 S seventy-five percent (75%) to the player selected to roll the dice with the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) spilt equally among the remaining players of that first group -.of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 12. In a like fashion, the second accumulated pot is disbursed to the second group of players when the result of the roll of the dice by the selected player for the second group equals one of the numbers in the second group. If the player selected to roll the dice for the second accumulated pot, which resulted from the accumulated wagers on the second craps indicators 14, rolls dice on which the dots on the dice total anyone of the craps numbers 2, 3 or 12 , the second accumulated pot is divided and disbursed to all of the players in that second group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 14. Preferably, the second accumulated pot is disbursed eighty-five percent (85%) to the player selected to roll the dice with the remaining fifteen percent ( 15%) spilt equally among the remaining players of that first group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 14. The third accumulated pot is disbursed to the third group of players when the result of the roll of the dice by the selected player for the third group equals one of the numbers in the third group. More specifically, if the player selected to roll the dice for the third accumulated pot, which resulted from the accumulated wagers on the third craps indicators 16, rolls dice on which the dots on the dice total any of the point numbers 4, 5, 6. 8. 9 or 1 D, the third pot is divided and disbursed to all of the players in that third group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia I6. Preferably, the third accumulated pot is disbursed sixty percent (60%) to the player selected to roll the dice with the remaining forty percent (40%) spilt equally among the remaining players of that first group of players who placed a wager on the craps indicia 16. Accordingly, a major portion of each accumulated pot is disbursed to the player randomly selected to roll the dice for the group of players with the remainder of the that particular accumulated pot divided among the remaining players in that group.
On the other hand, is the event there is no tie with the predetermined combination of cards, a tie between the player hand 15 and the banker hand 17 may still occur other than with the predetermined combination of cards. In that case, the step is included of offering the roll of two dice to each qualifying player who placed a tie wager when the cards of the player hand 15 ties the cards of the banker hand 17 under the rules of baccarat other than with the predetermined combination of cards. In other words, there is no possibility of any player winning an accumulated pot, yet each player who placed a tie wager is offered the roll of the dice. However, before each qualified player rolls the dice, each of the other players is offered a craps wager on the first 12. second 14 and third 16 groups of dice numbers. The offer of a craps wager based upon the roll of two dice is successively made to each player when the player hand 15 ties the banker hand 17;
however, in the preferred play, this offer of the roll of the dice is made only to the players who placed a tie wager on the player's number in the tie wager indicia 24.
Each player who qualifies may make a craps wager by placing a wager of chips on one of the three wager areas 12,14 or I6. In other words, the offer of a craps wager is for only on any one of the first 12, second-14 or third 16 groups of dice numbers to each player before each qualifying player rolls the dice. T'he amount of the wager, however, may be a multiple of the baccarat wager placed by that player, e.g., two times the wager the player made on either the player hand 15 or banker hand 1?. After each qualified player places a craps wager, the first qualified player then rolls the dice and the wager for each player is settled based upon the outcome of the roll of the dice. This comprises the step of settling the craps wagers based the outcome of the roll of the dice in accordance with the first, second and third odds as set forth in the odds indicia 22. The next qualified player, i.e., the next player who placed a tie wager, then rolls the dice after having placed the craps wager in one of the three areas 12,14 or 16. As set forth above, the offering of the craps wager includes the offer of a plurality of alternative dice number combinations in the first 12, second 14 and third 16 groups having different betting odds. More specifically, the first group of natural dice numbers 7 or II in the first craps indicator 12 for each player pays at first odds of nine for two; the second group of craps dice numbers 2, 3 or 12 in the second craps indicator 14 for each player pays at second odds of nine for one and the third group of point numbers 4, S, 6, 8, 9, or I D in the third craps indicator 16 for each player pays at third odds of three for two. Therefore, the dice number combinations of the natural 7 or ll are at first odds, the dice number combinations of any craps ?. 3 or I?
are at second odds, and the remaining dice number combinations of the point numbers 4. 5, 6, &, 9, or 1 D are at different third odds. Of course, these odds may vary as in accordance with individual house rules.
The play of baccarat is based upon at least one and usually a plurality of card decks each having fifty-two cards divided into four suites of duces through aces and the play of craps based upon two dice each having six faces numbered one to six.
It involves the placing of a wager.- on behalf of each player for either the player or the banker cards to win by placing chips in either the player box or the banker box in front each player.
The dealer, or machine, presents two cards to the player and two cards to the banker by placing the cards on the respective card boxes. As is normal in the game of baccarat, additional cards are sequentially presented to each the player 15 and the banker 17 hands in accordance with the rules set forth above. Thereafter, the baccarat wagers are paid or settled in accordance with whether the player band 15 or banker hand 17 wins, and 1 S dependent upon whether the player wagered on the player hand 15 or the banker hand I7, or, in the event of a tie, pays to each player having made a bet on the tie.
The opportunity - ,or option to roll two dice is dependent upon the player hand 15 tieing the banker hand 17 and is presented to each player who made a tie wager when the tie is with cards other than the predetermined combination of cards. However, before the roll of the dice, each qualified player, i.e., each player who participated in the hand, establishes a craps wager, if the player wishes to participate, based upon the roll of the two dice by placing chips on one of the three circles defining the craps indicators 12, 14 or 16, which indicate the groups of dice numbers and odds of the roll. Each qualified player then rolls the dice once and his craps wager is settled based the outcome ofthe roll of the dice and the odds for the group on numbers 12, 14 or 16 for which the dice were rolled. The next qualified player is then offered the craps wager and the roll of the dice with each player again offered a craps wager on one of the craps indicators 12, 14 or 16 . A player qualifies to roll the dice when having placed a tie wager and the player hand 15 ties the banker hand 17. However, the additional players who did not place a tie wager may or may not be allowed to make a craps wager on the roll of the dice by the player who did place the tie wager. This will depend upon the house rules. For example, the player who only wagered on either the player hand 15 or the banker hand 17, i.e., participated in the hand of baccarat, may be allowed to place a craps wager.
Accordingly, at one seating a player may play baccarat and qualify to further bet on a craps roll of the dice each time the dealer or machine presents cards in the player hand 15 which tie the card count in the banker hand 17. This includes offering a plurality of craps wagers based respectively on a plurality 12, 14 and 16 of groups of dice numbers with each group of dice numbers having different betting odds; establishing a craps wager on at least one of the groups 12,14 and 16 of dice numbers for each participating player;
offering the roll of two dice to at least one player when the cards of the player hand 15 .ties the cards of the banker hand 17 under the rules of baccarat; and settling the craps wagers based the outcome of the roll of the dice. As explained above, however, this craps wager may be executed by the placing of accumulated pot wagers which can only be won by the player hand 15 being the banker hand 17 with a predetermined combination of cards. Alternatively, this craps wager may be executed by offering it to the players participating in the game when the player hand 15 ties the banker hand 17 with other than the predetermined combination of cards. In this latter situation, the offer to roll the dice is only made to a qualifying player who has placed a tie wager.
As will be appreciated, the steps of the method may be executed in anv order and is not to be restricted to the order described or claimed.
The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.
