Embodiments described herein are directed to an electronic version of domino that adds elements of wagering. A player makes a wager for dominoes to be dealt. A minimum of one domino through a maximum of five dominoes can be wagered on and dealt. Once the dominoes are dealt, the player may “flip” the dominoes by touching them. A player can flip the dominoes online in the starting row, so that dominoes dealt in the next row/level have the best chance of creating a chain. Once satisfied with the dominoes, the player keeps the dominoes to play them. A new row of dominoes is then dealt. Any number of pips on these dominoes that match the bottom dominoes number of pips awards the player a payout and another domino or set of dominoes is dealt to the next row/level. This sequence of play continues until there are no more matching dominoes or the player has hit the maximum payout level. Payouts increase with the size of the domino chain. There is also a bonus game that is awarded whenever a certain type of domino is dealt.

An automatic method for assigning the clock phases on a domino datapath embedding static gates includes replacing domino cells on non-critical paths by a static equivalent cell, delaying the clock arrival on domino gates driven by static signals, ensuring that critical data never waits for the clock in the domino pipeline, ensuring that a domino data never goes to precharge, and therefore is lost before it is consumed, ensuring that the domino datapath operates at any speed below the maximum operating speed, ensuring that domino signals leaving the design through primary outputs of a static block are latched to prevent the precharge to overwrite the evaluated results, providing an optimal solution in terms of performance, area and power, defining some constraints that are checked and enforced by the downstream tools in order to guaranty the proper functionality of the design.

The invention discloses a step type structure filling method for second mining of coal pillars of remnant mining areas. According to the method, on the basis of exploring and ascertaining the remaining coal pillars in the remnant mining areas and pillar mining area distribution situations, step type filling moulds are built and installed; the remaining coal pillars of the remnant mining areas are sequentially side-supported by adoption of a pillar side double-side layered filling method; in addition, a short-wall mechanical second mining working face is arranged; and accordingly, the remaining coal pillars of the remnant mining areas are safely recovered. According to the step type structure filling method for second mining of the coal pillars of the remnant mining areas, the recovery ratio of the coal resources can be increased, the economic benefits can be improved for an enterprise, and dynamic disasters including instantaneous instability, domino instability and the like of pillar type filling bodies in mining fields under the multi-factor coupling effect can also be avoided, so that the long-term stability of the pillar type filling bodies of the mining fields after second mining of the remnant coal is guaranteed.

A Mexican Train Dominoes game includes a game board that defines a central recess corresponding to the train station hub of the game. The recess includes a platform on which an “engine” domino tile is placed to commence the game. The platform can be depressed to activate a sound generation component that is operable to produce simulated train sounds. The game board can include a circuit board that carries a resiliently depressible switch that is operably coupled to the platform. The switch can support the platform in its normal position and can restore the platform to that normal position after the “engine” domino and platform have been depressed during game play.
