For example, if a player has a good hand, for example a "21", and the player is the action player, it is possible that the player can win from all of the other players as well as the dealer.
- the present method of playing a wagering card game has three preferred embodiments.
- Game One the dealer is an employee of the casino house and is a participant of card game; this dealer hereinafter is referred to as the "house-dealer”.
- Card Game One can be played wherever gambling against the house is legal, including for example, Nevada, Indian, Atlantic City and Riverboat casinos, where Blackjack is legal.
- Card Game Two the dealer is an employee of the casino house but is not a participant of the card game; this dealer hereinafter is referred to as the "card dealer'.
- Card Game Two can be played in states or local areas where play against a house/dealer is illegal.
- Card Game Three is a variation of Card Game Two.
- the card dealer is selected from the group of players; this dealer hereinafter is referred to as the "player-dealer”.
- Card Game Three can be played in states or local areas where play against a house/dealer is illegal.
- Card Game One, like the conventional game of Blackjack, the object of the game is to reach, but not exceed, a numerical total of 21. Cards are valued as in conventional Blackjack.
- a "natural 21" that is Ace/King, Ace/Queen, Ace/Jack or
- Ace/Ten beats all other hands totaling to 21.
- Other differences between Card Game One and conventional Blackjack include the following:
- FIG. 10 The method of playing Card Game One, generally designated 10 is shown in the flow diagram of Figure 1, which illustrates the steps of play.
- Figure 2 shows a typical table layout adapted to accommodate the house-dealer and up to eight (8) players.
- the method of play, generally designated 10 comprises a series of steps, beginning with step
- the playing table 40 includes a plurality of playing positions 41, preferably eight (8) playing positions, representing playing positions one (1) through eight (8) respectively.
- the wagers of each of the players can be identical, can be identical and equal a predetermined table limit, or can be varied but within the table limit.
- the house-dealer will cover the largest allowable wager placed on the table if the hand comes into play against the house-dealer's hand.
- the house- dealer can require each player to contribute a table collection fee which is retained by the house in step 12.
- the table collection fee can be any legally acceptable amount established by the house.
- the table collection fee per player per hand is between about $0.50 and $2.00.
- the action player can be selected by any fair and arbitrary method.
- the action player can be determined by cutting cards from the deck until a number card is turned up corresponding to a seated player position.
- the action player also can be determined by the cutting of cards from the deck and the player being cut the highest value card is selected as the action player (in instances of a tie, the cards are cut among the tying players until one player has been cut the highest value card).
- the action player is selected by the rolling of three special dice as described in U.S. Patent 5,620,183 to Skratulia, issued April 15, 1997, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. When these three dice are rolled together, a total of one to eight will be produced.
- the player seated at that playing position will be the selected action player. If the seat is unoccupied, the set of three dice are rolled again. The use of these three dice are simple to use, speed up the play of the game and eliminate the need for counting around the table.
- the action player for the next games can be selected by rolling the three dice to obtain a total of one to eight and then counting the occupied playing positions in a clockwise manner from the winner of the previous game. For example, if the total rolled on the dice is three (3) and the winner of the previous game is seated in playing position five (5) and all eight playing positions are occupied, then the new action player is selected by counting out three (3) beginning with playing position five (5). Thus, the new action player will be seated in playing position seven (7). When there are less than eight players, empty seated positions are not counted
- step 14 the house-dealer sequentially deals cards to the players and to the house-dealer.
- the action player receives the first card and the rest of the cards are dealt in clockwise order around the table, including the house-dealer until each player and the house-dealer have two cards.
- Each of the player's two cards are dealt face-down while the house-dealer's two cards are dealt face-up.
- the house-dealer is the first to act by standing (i.e. taking no cards) or drawing one or more additional cards (i.e. taking a "hit").
- the house-dealer must hit when the numerical total of his cards equals 11 or less and on "soft 17" (the numerical total of three or more cards equaling 17), and must stand on "hard 12 or more” (the numerical total of two cards equaling 12 or more) or on "soft 18 or more”.
- the action player acts on his hand, followed by each sequential player until each player has acted on his hand.
- the play then proceeds to the fast action round using fast action play beginning with step 16.
- step 16 the action player and house-dealer compare hands. If the house-dealer has the better hand, the action player is retired from the fast action round and loses his wager, as illustrated in step 21, with the action button 43 being passed to the house-dealer.
- step 22 if the house dealer has the better hand, the sequential player loses his wager and is retired from the fast action round; if the house-dealer has a tying hand, the sequential player receives back his wager and is retired. Steps 22 and 23 are repeated if the house-dealer has a tying hand or the better hand until the house-dealer has been beaten or if all players have participated, thereby ending the game.
- step 24 If the next sequential player has the better hand as illustrated in step 24, he collects his wager and the action button 43 is passed to him. In this manner, when a sequential player beats the house-dealer hand, he becomes the action player and proceeds to step 18. If the action player has the better hand as illustrated in step 17, the action player is declared the winner and collects the wager 42 and the house-dealer is retired from the fast action round. When the action player has the better hand against the house-dealer, the fast action round continues to step 18 and the action player and next sequential player compare hands. If the action player has the better hand, as illustrated in step 19, he collects the lesser of the two wagers and the sequential player is retired from the fast action round.
- next sequential player's wager is $20.00 and the action player's wager is $30.00 and the action player has the better hand
- the action player collects $20.00 from the next sequential player. If the next sequential player has the better hand, he collects only $20.00, as $20.00 is the lesser of the two wagers.
- the action player retains the action button while the next sequential player receives back his wager as illustrated in step 19.
- the sequential player has the better hand, he collects the lesser of the two wages and receives the action button, thereby becoming the action player as illustrated in step 20. Steps 18, 19 and 20 are repeated until all players have participated in the fast action round.
- each sequential player has the option to surrender when it is his turn to act in step 15.
- the sequential player can opt to surrender.
- the option of surrender allows the player to withdraw from the current round of play and receive back one-half ⁇ ) of his wager.

- the Blackjack hand When it is that player's turn to act, the Blackjack hand then is turned face-up. Once a Blackjack hand is exposed, none of the other remaining sequential players are allowed to draw cards or surrender.
- the last sequential player when at least seven (7) playing positions are occupied, the last sequential player can surrender and receive back one-half ( l ⁇ ) of his wager when a previous sequential player has exposed a Blackjack.
- the last two sequential players when all eight (8) playing positions are occupied, the last two sequential players can surrender and receive back one- half (54) of his wager when a previous sequential player has exposed a Blackjack.
- Card Game Two is shown in the flow diagram of Figure 3, which illustrates the steps of play.
- Figure 4 shows a typical table layout adapted to accommodate up to nine players.
- Card Game Two is similar to Card Game One, the major difference being that the card dealer is not a participant in the game. In other words, the card dealer is not dealt a hand. Like Card Game One, the object of Card Game Two is to reach, but not exceed, a numerical total of 21. Cards are valued as in conventional Blackjack. However, in the preferred embodiment, a "natural 21", that is Ace/King, Ace/Queen, Ace/Jack or Ace/Ten beats all other hands totaling to 21.
- the method of playing Card Game 2, generally designated 100 comprises a series of step, the first step 111 being the start of the game.
- the playing table 140 includes a plurality of playing positions 141.
- the table 140 includes eight (8) playing positions, representing playing positions one (1) through eight (8) respectively, although nine (9) playing positions are contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention.

- the wagers 142 can be identical, can be identical and equal to a predetermined table limit, or can be varied within the table limits, that is spread-betting.
- each player can be required to contribute a table collection fee per hand, preferably between about $0.50 per hand and about $2.00 per hand, which is retained by the house.
- an action player is selected in step 113.
- the action player can be selected by any method as described above.
- the action player is selected by the rolling of the three special dice described in U.S. Patent 5,620,153.
- the action player can be determined by the rolling of two special dice, also described in U.S. Patent 5,620,153 to Skratulia, issued April 15, 1997, the disclosure of which is incorporated be reference.
- the set of two special dice is rolled, a total of one to nine will be produced. Whatever total is rolled, the player seated at that playing position will be the selected action player.
- An action button A is placed next to the action player's betting area 143 and the game proceeds to step 114.
- step 114 the card-dealer sequentially deals cards to the players, beginning with the action player; the cards being dealt face down. Following the dealing of cards, the action player acts on his hand in step 115, followed by each sequential player until each player has acted on his hand in step 116 or opts to surrender (unless the action player has exposed a natural blackjack).
- the action player and next sequential player compare hands in step 117.
- the player with the better hand collects the lesser of the two wagers in step 118 and the action button A; the losing player being retired from the fast action round. If there is a tie between the action player and next sequential player, the action player remains the action player and the next sequential player receives back his wager and is retired from the fast action round. Steps 117 and 118 are repeated until each sequential player has participated in the fast action round.
- both hands are a "tie"
- a push is declared, the sequential player is retired from the fast action round and the action player proceeds to the next fast action play.
- any player with a Blackjack cannot expose the Blackjack hand until it is his turn to act in step 116.
- the winning hand can be two Aces. In other words, a hand of Ace-Ace beats all other hands. The two options for ranking hands is shown in the Table 1 and Table 2. In this alternative embodiment, a sequential player also is not allowed to surrender when an Ace-Ace hand is exposed.
- Card Game Three is shown in the flow diagram of Figure 5, which illustrates the steps of play.
- Figure 6 shows a typical table layout including a table 250 having a plurality of playing positions 251, preferably one (1) through eight (8) playing positions, although nine (9) playing positions are contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention.
- Card Game Three is a variation of Card Game Two, the primary difference being the selection of a "player-dealer" from the participating players seated at the table.
- the term "player-dealer” denotes that a particular player acts first and covers the largest allowable wager placed on the table, if the hand with that wager comes into play against the player-dealer. However, the player-dealer does not deal cards.
- the player-dealer also can be required to contribute a player- dealer collection fee to the house, which is retained by the house.
- the player-dealer collection fee can be any legally acceptable amount established by the house.
- the player-dealer collection fee per hand is between about $3.00 and $5.00. Because of the potential additional cost to the several players seated at the table, not every player must participate in the player-dealer selection process.
- the player-dealer can be selected in variety of ways. Most simply, the player seated in playing position ( 1 ) can be selected the player-dealer if the first game played, followed by the player seated in playing position (2) being selected the player-dealer in the next game played and in successive games, the player-dealer being selected in rotational order around the table. If the playing position is unoccupied, then the next sequential player is selected player-dealer.
- the player- dealer also can be selected in the same manner as the action player, if desired.
- the method of playing Card Game Three generally designated 200 comprises a series of step, the first step 211 being the start of the game and the selection of the player-dealer.
- a dealer button D is placed on the playing table 240, next to the player-dealer's betting area 243.
- Each of the remaining players then places a wager 242 in the respective betting area 243 in step 212.
- Each player can be required to contribute a table collection fee per hand, preferably between about $0.50 per hand and about $2.00 per hand, which is retained by the house.
- an action player is selected in step 213.
- the action player can be selected by any method as described above.
- An action button A is placed next to the action player's betting area 243 and the game proceeds to step 214 and a card-dealer sequentially deals cards to the players and player-dealer, beginning with the action player; the cards being dealt face down to the players and face up to the player-dealer.
- the player-dealer acts on his hand in step 215.
- the player-dealer must hit when the numerical total of his cards equals 11 or less and on "soft 17", and must stand on "hard 12 or more" or on "soft 18 or more".
- the action player then acts on his hand in step 215 followed by each sequential player until each player has acted on his hand in step 215 or opts to surrender.
- the action player and player- dealer then compare hands in step 216. If the player-dealer wins, the action player loses his wager and the action button; the action player is retired from the fast action round as illustrated in step 221. If the player-dealer ties, the action player receives back his wager and is retired from the round of play; the action button is passed to the dealer. When there are more sequential players, the next sequential player compares his hand with the player-dealer in step 222.
- step 223 if the player-dealer has the better hand, the sequential player loses his wager and is retired from the fast action round; if the player-dealer has a tying hand, the player-dealer receives back his wager and is retired. Steps 222 and 223 are repeated until a sequential player has a better hand than the player-dealer or until all players have participated in the fast action round. In this manner, if the player-dealer has the best hand, he has the opportunity to win every wager placed at the table. If the sequential player has a better hand as illustrated in step 224, he collects his wager from the player- dealer, the action button 243 is passed to him and he becomes the action player and proceeds to step 218.
