Abstract

L'invention décrit un jeu combinant le jeu de blackjack et le jeu de zanzi, en se basant sur deux dés ayant chacun 6 faces numérotées de 1 à 6. La table de jeu (12) présente une surface de jeu semi-circulaire (14) avec une zone de jeu pour le donneur de cartes adjacente au diamètre (16) de la surface de jeu semi-circulaire, ainsi qu'une pluralité de zones pour les joueurs (18). Chaque zone joueur comprend plusieurs cercles (20, 22, 24) d'indication des mises du jeu de dés de type zanzi (craps). Après établissement des mises en fonction du jeu de cartes selon les règles du blackjack, chaque joueur ayant un blackjack se voit attribuer le lancement des dés et une mise. Les autres joueurs peuvent également placer des mises sur l'un des cercles respectifs (20, 22, 24). Chaque mise du jeu de dés est ensuite établie en fonction du résultat du lancement des dés par le joueur ayant eu le blackjack. L'invention se caractérise par la combinaison d'une cagnotte qui est supportée par chaque joueur plaçant une mise sur l'un des trois cercles indicateurs avant que les cartes ne soient données. Un enregistreur (34) assure le suivi de ces mises initiales. Un joueur est qualifié pour le lancement des dés pour une portion de la cagnotte s'il obtient un blackjack prédéterminé, par exemple l'as et le valet d'une même couleur ou de couleurs différentes.
