CA2242813A1 - An accumulated pot for craps qualified by a predetermined blackjack - Google Patents

Abstract

A game is disclosed for combining the play of blackjack and the play of craps based upon two dice each having six faces numbered one to six. The board (12) presents a semicircular playing arena (14) with a dealer playing area adjacent the straight diameter (16) of the semicircular playing arena and a plurality of player areas (18). Each of the player areas includes a plurality of craps wager indicator circles (20, 22, 24). After the wagers are settled based upon the play of the cards in accordance with the rules of blackjack, each player who has a blackjack is offered the roll of the dice and a craps wager. The remaining players may also place bets on one of their respective craps wager circles (20, 22, 24). Each craps wager is then settled based on the outcome of a roll of the dice by the player having the blackjack.
The subject invention is characterized by interleaving an accumulating pot which is supported by each player placing a pot wager on one of the three wager indicator circles prior to the cards being dealt. A
register (34) keeps track of these initial pot wagers. A player qualifies to roll the dice for a portion of the pot by having a predetermined blackjack, such as the Ace and Jack of one suit or different suits.
