Abstract

This article proposes a visual gambling scheme, in which the banker encodes several images into random-looking share images that are printed on transparencies and declares the contents of the original images at the same time. Afterwards the gambler chooses a random-looking share image and guesses the content of his chosen share. The result of this gamble can be revealed by physically stacking the gambler's share transparency and a previously public share transparency. If the gambler guesses correctly, he wins and takes all the money, otherwise the banker wins and takes all the money. After the gamble is over, the banker reveals the content of each share image to ensure that the banker is not cheating. The whole process is done with the help of several transparencies on an open table and relies on no computing device. In addition, the scheme provides a brand-new experience for gamblers when compared to the traditional dicing approach, and may gain some popularity in casinos.
