Abstract

A gaming layout for the game of Craps having a jackpot box for receiving a wager that a set of randomly generated dice outcomes will be rolled. The set of randomly generated dice outcomes has a remote probability of occurrence and is selected from a predefined set of limited possible outcomes. A jackpot corresponds to a higher payoff than the payoffs associated with the ongoing possibilities of a conventional Craps game. The dice outcomes may be generated by a computer or by mechanical means. The dice outcomes to be matched and the corresponding tally of matches achieved are displayed for the bettors to observe.
