Abstract

A gambling method allows players to make one or more bets dependent upon the outcome of a gaming selection of three dice and a fourth dice containing 6 feng shui elements. The method can be played using a carousel wheel with an inner wheel divided into six inner wheel segments bearing the numbers 1 to 6, a middle wheel divided into six segments bearing the numbers 1 to 6, and an outer wheel divided into six outer segments bearing the numbers 1 to 6, while the six different feng shui choices are randomly varied and assigned to one of the outer wheel segments. The carousel can be spun so that each of the inner, the middle and the outer wheels rotate with its own independent degree of freedom, and the inner wheel and the middle wheel rotate in opposite directions when the carousel is spun.
