Abstract

A gambling game includes a housing; a first wheel of a first diameter rotatably mounted in the housing and having an exposed surface with a first plurality of numbers on a circumferential area thereof and a plurality of colors, each associated with one number; a second wheel of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter and rotatably mounted in the housing and within the first wheel, the second wheel having an exposed surface with a second plurality of numbers on a circumferential area thereof and a plurality of colors, each associated with one number; first and second flexible pointers for indicating one number and one color on the first wheel and one number and one color on the second wheel after rotation of the first and second wheels; and a single wagering area for both wheels, including boxed areas for wagering on individual numbers from the first and second wheels which are indicated by the indicating arrangement; at least one numerical outcome from an arithmetic operation of multiplication, addition or subtraction performed between the two numbers from the first and second wheels which are indicated by the indicating arrangement; and individual colors and color combinations which are indicated by the indicating arrangement.

Claims

1. A gambling game comprising:

a housing;

a first wheel of a first diameter rotatably mounted in said housing and having an exposed surface with a plurality of first numbers on a circumferential area thereof;

a second wheel of a second diameter smaller than said first diameter and rotatably mounted in said housing, said second wheel having an exposed surface with a plurality of second numbers on a circumferential area thereof;

an arrangement for rotating said first wheel and said second wheel such that said first wheel rotates simultaneously and independently of said second wheel;

an indicating arrangement for indicating one first number on said first wheel and one second number on said second wheel after rotation of said first and second wheels; and

a single common wagering area adjacent said housing for both said first and second wheels, said single common wagering area including boxed areas for wagering, said boxed areas including first boxed areas having said first individual numbers from said first wheel and said second individual numbers from said second wheel which are indicated by said indicating arrangement, and second boxed areas having third individual numbers corresponding to at least one numerical outcome from an arithmetic operation performed between a first number from the first wheel and a second number from the second wheel which are indicated by said indicating arrangement, with only one number being provided in each boxed area.

2. A gambling game according to claim 1, wherein said third individual numbers include numbers corresponding to at least one of a multiplication operation, addition operation and subtraction operation of said first and second numbers.

3. A gambling game according to claim 2, wherein the first wheel includes said first numbers, each in a range of “

1”

through “

n”

thereon, with “

n”

being an integer, and said second wheel includes said second numbers, each in a range of “

1”

through “

n”

thereon, with “

n”

being an integer, and said second boxes on said wagering area include said third numbers in a range of “

1”

through “

n×

n”

.

4. A gambling game according to claim 2, wherein the first wheel includes said first numbers, each in a range of “

1”

through “

m”

thereon, the second wheel includes said second numbers, each in a range of “

1”

through “

n”

thereon, where “

m” and

“

n”

are integers, and said second boxes on said wagering area include said third numbers in a range of “

1”

through “

m×

n”

.

5. A gambling game according to claim 1, wherein the indicating arrangement includes a first flexible pointer mounted on a support adjacent the rotatable first wheel for pointing to a number on the first wheel and a second flexible pointer mounted on a support adjacent the rotatable second wheel for pointing to a number on the second wheel.

6. A gambling game according to claim 1, wherein said first wheel includes a central recess therein, and said second wheel is positioned within said central recess for rotation therein.

7. A gambling game according to claim 1, wherein each said wheel is divided into a plurality of sectors around a circumferential area thereof, with each sector of the first wheel having one said first number associated therewith and each sector of the second wheel is number associate therewith.

8. A gambling game according to claim 7, wherein each sector also has one of a plurality of colors associated therewith such that said indicating arrangement also indicates one color from each wheel, and said single wagering area also includes third boxed areas for wagering on individual colors and color combinations in view of the colors indicated by the indicating arrangement, each third boxed area including at least one color designation corresponding to the plurality of colors in said sectors.

9. A gambling game comprising:

a housing;

a first wheel of a first diameter rotatably mounted in said housing and having an exposed surface with a plurality of first numbers on a circumferential area thereof and a plurality of colors, each color associated in juxtaposed relation with one number;

a second wheel of a second diameter smaller than said first diameter and rotatably mounted in said housing, said second wheel having an exposed surface with a plurality of second numbers on a circumferential area thereof and a plurality of colors, each color associated in juxtaposed relation with one number;

an arrangement for rotating said first wheel and said second wheel such that said first wheel rotates simultaneously and independently of said second wheel;

an indicating arrangement for indicating one first number and one color on said first wheel and one second number and one color on said second wheel after rotation of said first and second wheels; and

a single common wagering area adjacent said housing for both the first and second wheels, the single common wagering area including boxed areas for wagering, said boxed areas including first boxed areas having said first individual numbers from said first wheel and said second individual numbers from said second wheel which are indicated by said indicating arrangement, second boxed areas having third individual numbers corresponding to at least one numerical outcome from an arithmetic operation performed between a first number from the first wheel and a second number from the second wheel which are indicated by said indicating arrangement, with only one number being provided in each boxed area, and third boxed areas for wagering on individual colors and color combinations which are indicated by said indicating arrangement, each third boxed area including at least one color designation corresponding to the plurality of colors on said first and second wheels.

10. A gambling game according to claim 9, wherein each said wheel is divided into a plurality of sectors around a circumferential area thereof, with each sector of said first wheel having one said first number and one said color associated therewith and each sector of said second wheel having one said second number and one said color associated therewith.

11. A gambling game according to claim 9, wherein said third individual numbers include numbers corresponding to at least one of a multiplication operation, addition operation and subtraction operation of said first and second numbers.
