FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0009]The present invention relates to wagering games similar to a well known casino game called craps and, more particularly, to the field of the game of craps with a method for comparing different betting areas against a house position.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0010]Craps is a very popular casino wagering game. The standard rules for Craps are very well established, so there is no need to inform those having ordinary skill in the art on how Craps is played. The objective of Craps is to establish a "point" and then remake it before making a Seven. Additionally, Craps provides a variety of alluring bets to choose from depending on what the players or players feel the next two numbers will be exactly or numerically.

[0011]Each new game in Craps begins with the "Come Out," and if the "Point" is made, the game will continue with a new "Come Out." This will continue until a point is established and a seven is made. The Seven and the Point are the only two numbers that matter. If the player feels like betting with the house then their wager will be placed in the Don't Pass betting area. Don't Pass bets are considered wrong way bets.

[0012]Two types of Craps games currently played are House funded games and Player funded games. A House funded game is played in a casino where the casino covers all bets. A Player funded game may or not be played in a casino, except the players wager against each other.

[0013]A short overview of the standard rules pertaining to: the Pass Line Betting area wins when the number totals either a 7 or 11 on the "Come out," or when a point is repeated before a 7. The bet loses if the Come out is 2, 3, or 12, or when the number totals a 7 before the point is repeated; the Don't Pass Betting area wins when the number totals either a 2 or 3 on the "Come out" and ties on a 12, or when the number totals a 7 before the point is repeated. The bet loses if the "Come out" is either a 7 or 11, or when the point is repeated before a 7; the Come Betting area is placed after the point is established and is identical with the Pass Line betting area; the Don't Come Betting area is placed after the point is established and is identical with the Don't Pass betting area; the Betting areas with Odds is an additional wager for established Pass Line betting area, Don't Pass betting area, Come betting area or Don't Come betting area.

[0014]Prior art craps games suffer from certain disadvantages, for example, a casino compares the betting areas that lost against a House position before comparing the betting areas that won because the House covers all bets. This collect and then pay method leaves much to be desired. What is needed is a craps game that will compare the betting areas that won against the House position before the betting areas that lost.

[0015]The present invention provides a unique method for comparing the different betting areas against a House position that is sure to increased enthusiasm from the players.

[0016]While several new craps game have been developed, what remains needed is a game with a predetermined method for comparing betting areas against a House position in the event the Casino is unable or unwilling to cover all wagers placed by the player or players.

[0017]It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a craps game with a method for comparing different betting areas against the House position.

[0018]It is an object of the invention to provide a craps game so that on the "come out," the Pass Line betting area is compared against the House position before the Don't Pass betting area.

[0019]It is an object of the invention to provide a craps game so that once "the point is established and before a seven is made," the Come betting area is compared against the House position before the Don't Come betting area, the Pass Line betting area with odds is compared against the House position before the Don't Pass betting area with odds, and the Come Betting area with odds is compared against the House position before the Don't Come betting area with odds.

[0020]It is an object of the invention to provide a craps game so that once "the point is established and a seven is made," the Come betting area is compared against the House position before the Don't Come betting area, the Don't Pass Betting area with odds is compared against the House position before the Pass Line Betting area with odds, and the Don't Come Betting area with odds is compared against the House position before the Come Betting area with odds.
