Abstract
A method is disclosed for playing a CASINO dice game with a set of six identical dice in which each die has a different symbol on each face. The symbol may be one of the letters of the same six lettered word CASINO or one of six different colors. A scoring system assigns a predetermined point value to individual symbols or combined symbols. A player must reach a threshold level of 1000 points and surrender his turn before rolling nothing of value for that player's points to count, failing which he loses his turn and all points accumulated during that turn. The players then continue to play until one player ends the game by reaching 10,000 points. That player may choose to surrender his turn and establish his final score as the winning high score or continue his turn to establish an even higher score, at the risk of losing his turn, his points for that turn, and the established winning score if he rolls nothing of value. Once the winning score is established, each of the other players are then given their last opportunity in turn to beat the prior winning score and themselves win the game. If any remaining player surpasses the present high score, he may choose either to end his turn or to continue his turn to establish an even higher winning score making it more difficult for any players to exceed during their last turn.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
