machine format. The preferred embodiment differs from traditional craps in that there is no
requirement of a repeated number roll for a win. In one embodiment, a number other than
seven, the target number, can be rolled on two six sided dice, numbered on sides from
1-6, in a tournament style fashion over a selected calendar period to win the primary
wager. These games include counting the rolls on different players and comparing those
rolls and making an award to the player making (a) the most rolls, (b) the most points, (c)
the fewest points or rolls or (d) enhanced pay outs for higher targets during a limited (e.g.,
4) number of dice rolls. The invention also envisions the addition of points in a given
number of rolls to generate a total which is compared to a central number or to reach
certain specific numbers. A video (slot) game (i.e., slot machine format) is disclosed which
replaces traditional displays with multiple dice rolls in a novel fashion otherwise consistent
with Moore's disclosure.4 Moore teaches (column 7, lines 18-19) that "the subject game
could be incorporated completely or in part with a pre-existing craps game."
The Admitted Prior Art teaches the conventional game of craps.5
4 Thus, Moore's dice game differs from the conventional game of craps.
5 Note the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION section of the application quoted above.
