[0238] In another example, the computer-network 116 may be a wide-area network (WAN), such as an Internet network or a network of the World Wide Web. In such a configuration, the client machine 100 b may communicate with the server machine 100 a via a website portal (for a virtual casino) hosted on the server machine 100 a. The data described herein as being transmitted by server machine 100 a to client machine 100 b or by client machine 100 b to server machine 100 a can be transmitted as datagrams according to the user datagram protocol (UDP), the transmission control protocol (TCP), or another protocol.

[0239] The computer-network 116 may include any of a variety of network topologies and network devices, and may employ traditional network-related technologies, including for example the public switched telephone network, cable networks, cellular wireless networks, WiFi, and WiMAX. Further, the computer-network 116 may include one or more databases (e.g., a player credit account database), to allow for the storing and retrieving of data related to performing an outcome event by a machine, as well as adjusting account balances associated with client machines.

[0240] For purposes of this description, any operation listed in a sentence including the words the machine 100 can cause, the server machine 100 a can cause, or the client machine 100 b can cause can be carried out, at least in part, as a result of that particular machine executing software program instructions. Those software program instructions can be stored within data storage 114, 114 a, or 114 b.

[0241] The present invention is implemented on a graphical user interface. FIG. 7 shows a board display with an octagon shape in the center of the board. An array of nine variables correspond with nine rectangular shaped image displayed as sprites or objects. The array has a first row 11, a second row 12, a third row 13, a first column 14, a second column 15, and a third column 16. The nine variables includes a first array variable 1, a second array variable 2, a third array variable 3, a fourth array variable 4, a fifth array variable 5, a sixth array variable 6, a seventh array variable 7, an eighth array variable 8, and a ninth array variable 9. Each sprite is displayed corresponding to a variable of the array. The array is displayed as a matrix of nine spaces including: space one 21, space two 22, space three 23, space four 24, space five 25, space six 26, space seven 27, space eight 28, and space nine 29.

[0242] Sixteen betting lines are displayed around and within the octagon shape and can be arranged in a counterclockwise orientation as shown in the figures, or can be arranged in a clockwise orientation. The sixteen betting lines have sixteen betting areas described above are indexed as lines one through sixteen. Each of the sixteen betting areas correspond to fields on the board display that are configured to receive user input. A user can access any of the fields by selecting it on the graphical user interface. The betting lines include line one A1, line two A2, line three A3, line four A4, line five A5, line six A6, line seven A7, line eight A8, line nine A9, line ten A10, line eleven A11, line twelve A12, line thirteen A13, line fourteen A14, line fifteen A15, and line sixteen A16.

[0243] Preferably, four bet all fields are displayed on the game board including a first bet all field Bl, a second bet all field B2, a third bet all field B3, and a fourth bet all field B4. These bet all fields are accessible by the user for entering amounts to bet. A pair of bet all fields can be located on the right and left side of the game board. The board has a space five 25 in which a Jackpot symbol is related to the fifth array variable 5 displayed on space five 25. The game board contains two bet jackpot fields, namely a first bet jackpot field C1 and a second bet jackpot field C2 on a right and left side of the display as seen in FIG. 7.

[0244] The present invention is preferably operated using a single deck that populates all nine spaces, however in an alternate version, each of the nine spaces can be populated by its own deck such that there are a total of nine decks.

[0245] FIG. 8 depicts an arrangement of cards during game play according to an embodiment of the present invention. There are numerous manners of implementing the game having multiple hands with at least two common cards and at least some manners of implementation (and variations) are described below. The arrangement of cards depicted in FIG. 8 can be an arrangement of physical cards dealt from a deck of cards by the dealer shown in FIG. 8D4, (the dealer). Players are shown in FIG. 8D1, D2 and D3. In one embodiment, preferably following an initial wager a player is dealt nine (9) cards arranged in a face up position shown on the center of the octagon shape in which there are nine (9) rectangular shapes shown as FIG. 8.1-9 and sixteen (16) betting lines shown in FIG. 8, A1-A16. The dealer displays the cards in the above-mentioned area in a fashionable order by placing the first card on the first column starting from the top to bottom and continuing to the second column from top to bottom and continuing to the third column from top to bottom. In order to have a winning bet the player must match at least two to three identical cards running consecutively, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally from all directions, including left to right, right to left, up and down, down and up, diagonally upper left to bottom right and vice versa, diagonally lower left to upper right and vice versa. The sixteen (16) betting areas described above are indexed from one (1) through sixteen (16) as shown in FIG. 8, A1-A16. Players can bet on multiple lines from lines 1 (one) through sixteen (16) and if desired the player may bet on all sixteen (16) lines at once by using any of the four (4) Bet All betting areas shown in FIG. 8, B1, B2, B3, and B4. Players may bet different values/amounts as desired.

[0246] Table Slot King contains a game version which provides a jackpot betting option. This version contains one jackpot card in the deck of cards. The game board contains an assigned spot for the Jackpot card. This designated spot for the jackpot card is displayed in the center of the game board located in within the center of the octagon and is specifically marked JACKPOT as shown in FIG. 8.5. To be evaluated as the winner of the Jackpot hand, the player must Bet All and place a fixed wager of $1.00 on the Jackpot symbol. The game board contains two Bet Jackpot symbols. One Bet Jackpot symbol is located on the right side of the game board as shown in FIG. 8, C1. The second Bet Jackpot symbol is located on the left side of the game board shown in FIG. 8, C2. The House will provide a seed amount for the Jackpot hand valued at $80.00.
