Systems, methods and apparatus which provides for a modified roulette wheel apparatus and associated wagering games.

The invention provides a game apparatus having matched inner and outer vessels and a set of cards that can be used to play a game. Each vessel of the game apparatus is configured to hold a liquid such as water or beer, which can be dispensed into the vessel body through the open top. The outer vessel is larger than the inner vessel and configured to hold the inner vessel in a substantially upright position and rotatable in its hollow interior. The matched inner and outer vessels can be used to play a game in which two or more players take turn adding at least a drop of water to an inner vessel placed in a fluid-filled outer vessel until a player loses by causing the inner vessel to sink by adding more fluid than the inner vessel can hold. The invention also provides a plurality of karma cards that are content matched to a two-vessel game apparatus. A karma card can stipulate one or more actions to be taken when a player causes the inner cup to sink to a position identified by an outcome element on the outer cup. The invention methods for playing games using the matched two-vessel game apparatus, as well as score cards.

A shuffling machine for use with a game of chance having a plurality of possible outcomes includes a base structure and a wheel portion in communication with the base structure. The wheel portion includes a plurality of discrete areas corresponding in number to the plurality of possible outcomes for the game of chance. Each of the plurality of areas includes a plurality of displays configured to show an indicia corresponding to one of the plurality of possible outcomes. The machine includes a selector for identifying one of the plurality of areas and the indicia associated with the identified one of the plurality of areas. Wherein the plurality of indicia are not fixed such that they are not permanently assigned to one of the plurality of areas.

The wagering game with multiple position betting is a wagering game played using four separate clock faces, all bearing the same repeating sequential series of indicia, allowing for bets to be placed upon the outcome of up to four randomly determined outcomes in a single wager. Each clock face has a single hand selectively rotated to stop at a random position. The clock faces may be separately identified by indicia, such as size and color designations. The three additional clock faces are disposed within the main clock face. When the start button is pressed, the hands of each face spin for randomly determined periods, resulting in four unique wagering positions being identified per wager. In an alternative embodiment, the wagering game may include at least three colored wheels and at least three random number generators.
