Method and apparatus for the casino Feng Shui slot machine game
First Claim
1. A slot machine, comprising:
- a display mechanism for representing the results of a simulated roll of three dice and a selection of a Feng Shui indicator from a set of Feng Shui indicators in which each indicator represents a single unique Feng Shui designation, for a given simulated roll of three dice and selection of the Feng Shui indicator;
an input mechanism for allowing a player to make one or more session bets for the given simulated roll of three dice and selection of the Feng Shui indicator;
a control mechanism that provides for the simulated roll of the three dice and selection of the Feng Shui indicator and then calculates a result of the one or more session bets; and
a player feedback mechanism that provides the player with the result of the one or more session bets.

Abstract
A slot machine that allows a player to make multiple bets of differing amounts for a simulated roll of three dice, and also allows the player to bet upon the selection of a given Feng Shui indictor from a set of Feng Shui indicators. The slot machine contains a display mechanism that includes a carousel wheel having inner and middle wheels divided into 6 segments and an outer wheel divided into six pairs of segments. Each wheel contains the numbers 1 to 6 and the outer wheel also contains the Feng Shui indicators. The carousel can be spun so that its wheels rotate with different degrees of freedom and independently of one another; the inner and middle wheels can spin in opposite directions of each other while the outer wheel can remain stationary while its designators are shuffled. The slot machine is controlled by a computer software program and the length of time that the control mechanism takes to create the session spin of the carousel can be at least partly dependent upon the total number of betting units wagered by a player for a session spin. The input mechanism of the slot machine allows a player to make session bets selected from a group of Sic Bo bets tied to the outcome of the simulated roll of three dice, and these bets can be represented by certain numbers related to the Sic Bo bets.

16. A slot machine, comprising:
-
a display mechanism that includes a carousel wheel, comprising;
an inner wheel divided into x inner wheel segments, each of which bears an inner wheel designation;
a middle wheel divided into y segments, each of which bears a middle wheel designation; and
an outer wheel divided into z outer wheel segments, each of which bears an outer wheel designation;
wherein the carousel can be spun so that each of the inner, the middle and the outer wheels rotate with different degrees of freedom and independently of one another; and
wherein y is greater than or equal to x, z is greater than or equal to y and both y and z are divisible by x;
an input mechanism for allowing a player to make one or more session bets for a session spin of the carousel;
a betting collection device for collecting betting units wagered by the player in association with the one or more session bets;
