I never clicked the link, but nobody can take patent on a way of playing, you can protect a collection in a book. But never claim the sole right to use a method.  Patent and copyright can never be on a method which follow the rules of a 300 years play.

I clicked on the link, it's some sort of roulette computer using lasers, well it's hard-ware technology so you can take a patent out on that.


The question is do you believe in roulette computers?

I am  have doubts. They are not allowed to use in Nevada, but many casinos in Europe do not mind a computer or other devices as long they do not disturb the game or other players. How could they stay in business if this devices  works? I have seen people using computer a few meters from the table openly, and they let him do so.
