| 20110109043 | Wagering Game Based on Bayes' Theorem - A method to implement a casino card game. After the player places an ante wager, the dealer can deal three cards and the player selects a player selected card and the dealer randomly selects a dealer selected card. The goal for both the player and the dealer is to pick the highest (or strongest) card. The dealer will then reveal the lowest (or weakest) of the two remaining cards that are not the dealer selected card. The player can then place an optional raise wager, and the dealer may randomly switch the dealer selected card. All three cards are then revealed, and if the player picked the highest (strongest) card and the dealer did not pick the highest (strongest) card, then the player wins a payout on the ante wager and any raise wager placed. If the dealer picked the highest (strongest) card and the player did not pick the highest (strongest) card, then the player loses his or her ante wager and any raise wager placed. | 05-12-2011 |
