ABSTRACT:
A roulette-style game of chance which is played using a player-banked system. The role of temporary Banker is randomly offered to one of the player positions (12-22). If a player is not available or willing to accept the role, a licensed Banker is appointed as temporary Banker and game play begins. Once a game decision is reached, wagers are resolved according to pre-established wager resolution priorities with pay-outs being resolved before collections. In situations where a player acts as temporary Banker, other players may bank behind the temporary Banker by placing supplemental value at risk. A player acting as temporary Banker, and any players banking behind the temporary Banker, are not permitted to pay out and collect more than the aggregated amount of value they have placed at risk. Once a pre-determined number of games of chance have been played and resolved in this manner, the role of temporary Banker is offered to another player so that all players have an equal chance of participating in the role of temporary Banker.
