Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0034903A1] This invention provides a method of paying winning bets against the house in a casino game such as Roulette. According to this method the casino provides a player's VDU display to display those bets of a player which are normally combined mentally by a croupier to provide a payout but which instead are entered through a keyboard or the like of data-input means by a croupier to provide an automatic calculation of the player's winnings. The player's VDU display also displays the total payout which is computed as being the amount payable to the player. In addition the data-input means has a display which the croupier can read without taking their attention from the table. This display enables the croupier to check the accuracy of the amounts entered and the total payout while maintaining surveillance of the table to ensure that bets are not shifted after close of play. At the same time the players can readily check the player's VDU display to ensure their wins are paid correctly.
