The present invention relates to game system, and more particularly to a game system with additional bets and odds for extra payouts.
Game systems have a variety of styles, with which a variety of games are played, such as slot machines, poker games, SicBo shakers (dice) and roulettes, etc., so they are widely welcomed by players and operators. Although game systems with a dealer (real person) are more lively and vivid, its labor cost is high, and someone is likely to cheat. Game systems without a dealer (real person) have the disadvantage of being a mechanical response, which makes it easy for people to feel monotonous and without changes. Therefore, in order to avoid the stereotyped ways of playing, and prevent the player from losing interest in the game in a short time, there are many ways to attract players.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 9,646,459 B2, “Incentive Apparatus for Gambling Game Systems”, enhances the variability of a game while attracting the attention of a player by displaying a dynamic raised odds of additional stakes on an electronic display board, thereby reducing the player's fatigue.
However, under the premise of retaining the profits of operators, in actual use, a probability of occurrence and a quantity of the dynamic raised odds of additional stakes are quite limited. Increase in the probability of occurrence and quantity is only possible by reducing a value of the raised odds of additional stakes. It is not incentive and yet one would hesitate to discard it, and cannot achieve the effectiveness of attracting the attention of the player to place bets.
Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a game system with additional bets and odds for extra payouts, which attracts a player's attention by enabling and displaying an additional bet option.
