Abstract
A supplementary gambling game allows a player to participate in a physical table game without having to sit at the table and bet on every outcome. The game does not require any additional casino operator. In one embodiment of the game, an existing roulette table game is the source of a set of random numbers used in the supplementary game. The conventional roulette game played at the roulette table is unaffected by the new game. A player playing the supplementary game uses a game terminal to bet and select a set of numbers applicable starting at a certain time. The terminal issues a ticket with the relevant information. The random numbers generated in the actual table game are transmitted to the terminal and are later compared to the player'"'"'s selected numbers. An award is granted to the player based upon the matching of the numbers.
