Abstract: A wagering game apparatus and method is provided which permits the random selection of prizes for games such as blackjack, poker, and electronic games. A side wager is placed in a receptacle or designated area which indicates to the dealer that the player wishes to participate in the random jackpot selection portion of the game. If a random event occurs, such as the player being dealt a preselected combination of cards, the player or dealer may activate the random prize selection process. The random prize selection is performed by a computer which uses a random generated number to select a prize from a pay table. The prize may be displayed on or near the gaming table. The player is then awarded the random jackpot amount.
