Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the operation of commercially operated casinos, whether operating by physical presence or via electronic means such as the internet. More particularly, it relates to a modified baccarat game for play in commercial gaming operations.
  • Units of ten are not counted, so that for example a total of 2, 12 or 22 will are be counted as 2.
  • the banker deals 2 cards to himself and to the player hand. If either total is 9 or 8, the hand wins, unless tied or beaten by the other participant on the first two cards.
  • an additional card may be drawn by each participant, in accordance with set guidelines generally known as the table of play.
  • the participants may have had a discretion about drawing additional cards.
  • the totals on which the banker and player will stand or draw are prescribed, so that no discretion is involved in play.
  • bets must be settled and the house percentage taken from the banker's winnings. This is a time consuming process if many customers are playing. In particular, it is relatively tedious to extract 5% of a total, as this will often involve changing chips and issuing small denomination chips to constitute players net winnings. Multiple rounds of such play result in players having quantities of variously valued chips, which from Time to time they may wish tc consolidate, again taking up time otherwise available for play. In effect, a large part of the time on a baccarat table is spent settling relatively complicated wagering outcomes, and relatively little time actually playing. A consequence of this, in light of the economic issues noted previously, is that the game is only viable from the operator's perspective if a relatively high table limit is applied. Accordingly, it would be desirable to modify the rules so as to allow for more rapid settlement, and to allow for table turnover to be increased.
  • One modification to the rules is to allow for the house percentage to be taken on a different basis.
  • One such basis is to substitute the percentage of winnings on each winning hand by the banker with a scheme in which the house percentage is only taken on certain hands, at a higher rate. For example, the house may win take 50% of bankers winnings if the banker wins with say, a certain total. This speeds up game play considerably. However, it does not increase the level of wagering on each hand at all - it simply speeds up play.
  • Some casinos also allow for a bet on whether the banker and player have tied hands, which bet is generally paid at odds of 8 to 1.
  • the present invention takes advantage of the approach to house takings, wherein the house takes a higher percentage but only from winning bankers hands which fulfill a certain characteristic.
  • a simple form is where the banker wins with one or more specific totals, but alternatives could be where the banker wins with one or more specific totals, but alternatives could be where the banker's winning hand includes certain cards, or indeed where the players losing hand has a certain total or includes certain cards.
  • the present invention allows players to place an insurance bet, against the house, on any such outcome occurring.
  • the house is taking side bets, placed before cards are dealt, against the outcome in which the house percentage is payable.
  • the insurance bets are a direct bet on well understood odds against the house, and which additionally can be quickly settled with players. Some players may even prefer to simply make such a bet and not participate in general play, which is sometimes confusing to novices. It accordingly provides a way for new players to participate to a certain extent without having to understand all the intricacies of the game.
  • the present invention further relates to an improved baccarat game in a commercial gaming establishment, of the type in which a gaming surface is provided with marked spaces for placement of wagers on the banker or player, and subject to the cards dealt to the banker and player, the wagers placed in said marked spaces are paid in accordance with predetermined rules by paying player bets to the banker or vice versa, characterised in that said gaming surface further includes further marked spaces for the placement of wagers on defined outcomes other than the result of play between the banker or player, said wagers being placed with the commercial gaming establishment.
  • the baccarat game includes rules in which the house extracts a percentage of bankers winnings only in the event that the cards dealt meet predefined criteria, being criteria other than whether the banker or player wins, ties or draws, and the defined outcomes are either those criteria or a subset thereof.
  • the present invention defines a new working interrelationship between the participants, the cards, the playing surface and the wagers. The interelationship allows for the players to place a wager on a factor not necessarily related to the outcome of the principal game, and in particular to make an insurance bet against having to pay a percentage to the house.
  • the present invention allows for a new class of player, who may not want to participate in a game against other players for significant stakes, but who is interested in participating in a wager for an easily understood situation against the house. It further allows a sophisticated player to utilise a more complex betting strategy, which may contribute to his enjoyment of the game, and hence from the perspective of the casino operator his frequency of play may increase. Further, the volume of wagers per deal is likely to be increased, with virtually no extra effort or time taken, so that the daily turnover of the table is likely to increase. Description
  • Figure 1 illustrates a possible table layout according to the present invention
  • Figure 2 illustrates a flowchart for determining outcomes for use in conjunction with an online gaming facility.
  • the preferred implementation of this present invention is for a casino game in which the operator pays even odds for either player or banker wins, unless the banker wins with a total of six (as previously defined), in which case the operator only pays 1 to 2, or 50% of the bet as winnings.
  • This may be either a game in which wagers are strictly matched against other players, or where the operator allows bets and will honor them regardless of matching.
  • the table provides some facility, for example a specially marked area either in front of each player or in front of all players on a portion of the table (this will be explained further below) for an insurance bet to be placed. This bet is against the house, and pays 10-1 if the banker wins, and his cards have a point total of six. In any other case, the bet is lost.
  • FIG. 1 much of the table layout shown is conventional for casino baccarat.
  • areas 26 adjacent the banker end and 27 adjacent the player end.
  • a series of seven positions numbered 1 to 7 are provided at the player end 27, and seven positions numbered 8 to 15 at the banker end 26.
  • a series of curved lines generally following the shape of the playing area define the spaces for making banker 23 and player 22 bets in front of each participant.
  • an inner area 24 defines a space where bets on a tie can be placed by any player,
  • One implementation of the present invention provides a further inner area 30, immediately inside the tie area, for placement of insurance bets.
  • This may either be divided into specific areas for each player, or be an open area where any such bet can be placed. Numerous alternative positions could be used, as desired.
  • the insurance bets may be paid, preferably prior to disposition of other bets, as in most cases there will be no pay out required. Hence, only in something less than 10 % of cases will the croupier be required to pay out, and so the time involved from a game play perspective is small. Similarly, the odds of 10 to 1 are relatively easy to calculate and pay.
  • the present invention also has advantages for baccarat play via an electronic game, or via an electronically facilitated game.
  • a game which actually takes place with human participants, and which can be viewed via a video facility, for example via the internet or a pay television channel.
  • the latter may be simply an electronic layout, with buttons for bets to be placed operated via mouse clicks or the like.
  • Such facilities are already in existence, and will not be described in detail.
  • Figure 2 shows an exemplary flowchart for implementing such a system in an electronic gaming environment, where at least the bets are placed and paid via software systems. It will be appreciated that the present invention requires only simple changes to implement.
  • the system determines at box 40 if an insurance bet had been made. If not, then this process ends at box 46. If a bet has been made, at box 44 the amount is stored as valus X in a suitable register. After the cards have been dealt and the hand completed, the process enquires at box 41 if the dealer has won. If not, the bet is lost and this is communicated to the credit system at box 47.
  • the system enquires if the dealer's card score a point value of 6. If not, then the bet is lost at box 48. If the answer at box 42 is yes, then at box 43 the bet is paid as 10X plus the original bet 10, and this is communicated to the credit system.
