This invention relates generally to card games, blackjack, poker and craps, a dice game. It combines the playing method of blackjack card game and poker card game and the proposition betting bonus as the craps game offered to players.

2. Description of Related Arts

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The game of “blackjack” or “twenty-one” is typically played with a standard deck of playing cards containing fifty-two cards in four different suits with numerical value equal to their face value from one pip to ten pips and three face cards (i.e., king, queen and jack) are assigned a numerical value of ten points each. An ace card may be assigned either a point value of one or eleven.

The object of the blackjack card game is for each player to collect a number of cards in his or her hand whereby the total point value assigned to the cards in a player's hand is as close to possible to twenty-one without going over. If the point value in a player's hand exceeds twenty-one points, the player “busts” and is eliminated from further play.

Each player should place a wager initially to receive two cards to start the game. In traditional blackjack, each player is playing against the dealer or “house”. The dealer or house acts as the bank, paying all losses and collecting all winnings from the other players at the table. In order to win his or her wager, the cards in a player's hand must have a higher total point value than the total point value in the dealer's hand without going over twenty-one points.

During a player's turn, a player may elect to draw additional card which is called “take a hit”, or play only the cards currently held in his or her hand which is called “stand”. A player may continue to receive additional cards in order to try to reach a point total of twenty-one without exceeding twenty-one.

Blackjack is a card game comprises one or more players individually playing against the “house”. Most of casinos set the procedure as, dealer is dealt one face down card and one face up card and players are dealt two face-up cards. With conventional blackjack, all players must place a minimum bet and attempt to receive a card combination that is equal to or slightly below “21”.

The object of conventional blackjack is to either, (1) receive “21”, (2) receive a hand greater in value than the house, or (3) remain under “21” with the house “bursting” or going over “21”. Blackjack card game players are involved in a contract bet as a blind bet in poker game.

Playing method of conventional poker game allows players place small amount of wager to start playing the game; and offers player different playing strategy, such as fold, check, call, etc. Players have the chance to see few cards before they place big amount of wager to finish the game.

Craps, a dice game, offers better odds to players through propositional bet, hard ways, and place bet.
