27. An apparatus comprising:
-
a non-transitory medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to; determine at least one first set of symbols in a game involving a number of symbols being chosen that is greater than the number of the first set of symbols; determine, for at least one outcome, a first odds for a first player; receive an indication of a first bet from the first player; determine a second odds for a second bet by a second player, in which the first odds is different from the second odds; receive an indication of the second bet from the second player; determine at least one second set of symbols that in combination with the at least one first set of symbols yields the number of symbols; determine a first outcome of the first bet based on first set of symbols and the second set of symbols; determine at least one third set of symbols that in combination with the at least one first set of symbols yields the number of symbols; determine a second outcome of the second bet based on the first set of symbols and the third set of symbols; and provide a respective indication of at least one of a first payment to the first player based on the first outcome and the first odds and a second payment to the second player based on the second outcome and the second odds. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
