The drawings are intended to be read together with the specification and are to be construed as a portion of the entire “written description” of this invention as required by 35 U.S.C. § 112.

In one embodiment of the present invention presented in FIGS. 1-5, this invention provides a triple blackjack card table 200, which can let players using at least one deck of special designed playing card to play a new blackjack game, wherein each of the special designed playing cards contains a first row 602a, a second row 602b, and a third row 602c vertically arranged from the top to the bottom on the surface of the special designed playing card, and the first row 602a contains two same numbers or letters with the same suit, the second row 602b contains two same numbers or letters with the same suit, the third row 602c only contains one number or letter with suit, and the number or letter between each row are different, the suits also arrange differently in each row, the triple blackjack card table 200 comprising:

    • a table structure, with a surface 208 that has a plurality of player areas 201, and each of the player area is provided with a first bet location 202a, a second bet location 202b, and a third bet location 202c, these bet locations are arranged vertically, and the first bet location 202a corresponds to the first row 602a on the surface of the special designed playing cards, the second bet location 202a corresponds to the second row 604b on the surface of the special designed playing cards, and the third bet location 202c corresponds to the third row 602c on the surface of the special designed playing cards, and a split location 206a is adjacent to the first bet location 202a, the first bet location 202a and the split location 206a are arranged horizontally, and the split location 206a also corresponds to the first row 602a on the surface of the special designed playing cards; and
    • two table legs 406, which are set under the table structure 200.

Through the aforementioned triple blackjack card table 200, players can play a new game of blackjack with the special designed playing cards on it. The most special feature is that players can bet 3 to 4 bets at a time in one hand of cards in the same game, that is, they can be placed wager(s) on the first bet location 202a, the second bet location 202b, the third bet location 202c, and/or the split location 206a (if split) of the desktop, which means betting on the total point value of the first row 602a, the second row 602b, and/or the third row 602c shown on the special designed playing cards respectively, while the traditional blackjack can only bet 1 to 2 (including split) bets. This special design makes the game more interesting and then proves there is a particularity in the triple blackjack card table, like shown in FIG. 4.

In another aspect, the triple blackjack card table 200 contains card-setting zone 204, for placing the cards or split cards.

In another aspect, the triple blackjack card table 200 can contains three split locations instead of one split position. For example, three split locations 206a, 206b, and 206c are adjacent to the three bet locations, each bet location and the corresponding split location are arranged horizontally, which allows up 3 to 6 bets opportunities in one hand.

In another aspect, please also refer to FIG. 3, the bottom surface of the table structure is provided with a convex column 404, and the convex column 404 is horizontally arranged at the middle section of the bottom surface 408 of the table structure, and two holes 402 are arranged on the convex column 404, and one end of each of the table leg 406 is correspondingly provided with a convex part, so that the convex parts are inserted into the holes 402 to fix the table legs 406 to the table structure. Such an arrangement allows the triple blackjack card table 200 to be easily decomposed into the table structure and the table legs 406, so as to reduce the space required for storage and further enhance the practicability of the present invention.

In another aspect, for the table size in an embodiment, preferably, the depth of the holes is 3 and ⅛ inches. The overall standing height of the triple blackjack card table is approximately 3 feet 3 inches and the overall size of the triple blackjack card table is approximately 4 feet 1 15/16 inches long and 2 feet 1¼ inches wide. Each of the table legs is 3 feet 2 5/16 inches at length. All the above sizes for the table should be adjustable to allow a comfortability to an adult player, sitting on the table.

In one embodiment of the present invention, for the special designed playing cards, the distance between the two numbers or letters in the first row on the surface of the special designed playing card is greater than the distance between the two numbers or letters in the second row, and the leftmost number or letter in the first row 602a, the leftmost number or letter in the second row 602b, and the number or letter in the third row 602c are arranged to form an oblique straight line. Just like the example illustrating in the FIGS. 4 & 5, these special designed playing cards allow each player to play up to three hands at once in one hand of cards by using the specially designed playing cards when playing blackjack. Furthermore, the suits of the first row 602a, the second row 602b, and the third row 602c are all arranged differently. That will not only be interesting, but also make it difficult for people who count cards, because there are three decks of cards combined into one deck of cards for 156 cards, which means the first rows of the total special designed playing cards will contain all the numbers, letters and suits in the original 52 cards, the second rows of the total special designed playing cards will also contain all the numbers, letters and suits in the original 52 cards, and the third rows will do the same to make three decks of cards combined into one deck of cards of the special designed playing cards. Also, it makes it less difficult for players to confuse the numbers or letters on each row of each special designed playing card. Furthermore, the special designed playing cards are a copyright product filed by the inventor, which can also reveal its uniqueness and originality.

In another embodiment of the present invention, for the special designed playing cards, the two numbers or letters in the first row 602a on the surface of the special designed playing card are located on two sides of the first row 602a respectively, the two numbers or letters in the second row 602b are located in the middle and rightmost of the second row 602b respectively, and the number or letter in the third row is located in the rightmost of the third row 602c. Just like the example illustrating in the FIGS. 4 & 5, this special designed playing cards allow each player to play up to three hands at once, that is, playing three different hands in one hand of special designed playing card when playing new blackjack (Triple Blackjack). Furthermore, the suit of the first row 602a, the second row 602b, and the third row 602c can also be all different, that will not only be interesting, but also make the special designed playing cards have a certain regularity, so that it is not easy for players to confuse the numbers or letters on each row of each special designed playing card.

In another aspect, this invention also discloses a method for playing a new blackjack game between at least one player and a dealer using at least one deck of special designed playing cards on the triple blackjack card table, like illustrating in the FIG. 6, wherein each of the special designed playing cards contains a first row 602a, a second row 602b, and a third row 602c vertically arranged from the top to the bottom on the surface of the special designed playing card, and the first row 602a contains two same numbers or letters with the same suit, the second row 602b contains two same numbers or letters with the same suit, the third row 602c only contains one number or letter with suit, and the number between each row are different, the method comprising the steps listed below.

Step 201: Having at least one player place at least one wager to participate in the new blackjack game, wherein the at least one wager can be put on any one or two or all of the first bet location, the second bet location, and the third bet location. In this method, the difference can be seen between the prior art and this invention because the normal blackjack game can only place at least one wager for one card (hand), but this invention can allow player(s) to bet on up to three or four hands at once, which makes this new blackjack game more exciting and fun by using the special designed playing cards.

Step 202: Dealing a first special designed playing card to each of the at least one player face up and to dealer face down, and dealing a second special designed playing card to each of the at least one player and to the dealer, wherein the second special designed playing card in the at least one player's hand is placed face up, and the second special designed playing card in the dealer's hand is placed face up, like the normal blackjack game.

Step 203: Adding the point value of the number or letter shown in the first row, the second row, and/or the third row corresponding to the bet locations where the at least one wager is placed in step 201.

Step 204: Determining an actual total point value for the first row, the second row, and/or the third row of the special designed playing cards in the at least one player's hand.

Furthermore, in this step, if the at least one player requests to add more point value on at least one of the three rows, then go to step 205; if the at least one player doesn't request more special designed playing cards, then go to step 206.

Step 205: Dealing one special designed playing card to the at least one player, and add the point value of the number or letter shown in the row that the at least one player requested for, and continue this step until the at least one player requests to stop, then the dealer turns the first special designed playing card in the dealer's hand to face up, and continue to step 207.

Step 206: The dealer turns the first special designed playing card in the dealer's hand to face up, and continue to step 207.

Step 207: Adding the point value of the number or letter shown in the first row, the second row, and/or the third row of the special designed playing cards in the dealer's hand.

Step 208: Determining which row has a greater actual total point value, then use that row to compete with the at least one player's each row that has put the at least one wager, and complete the new blackjack game (Triple Blackjack) according to conventional rules of play.

Through the above methods, the present invention does provide a new method of playing blackjack by giving players a more exciting experience than traditional blackjack, and because of the use of special designed playing cards, the way of playing is also more exciting and diversified, so that players will not be easily bored, but stimulated by excitement.

In another embodiment, this invention discloses another method for playing a new blackjack game between at least one player and a dealer using at least one deck of special designed playing cards on the triple blackjack card table, like illustrating in the FIG. 7, wherein each of the special designed playing cards contains a first row, a second row, and a third row vertically arranged from the top to the bottom on the surface of the special designed playing card, and the first row contains two same numbers or letters with the same suit, the second row contains two same numbers or letters with the same suit, the third row only contains one number or letter with suit, and the number between each row are different, the method comprising the steps listed below.

Step 301: Having at least one player place at least one wager to participate in the new blackjack game, wherein the at least one wager can be put on any one or two or all of the first bet location, the second bet location, and the third bet location.

Step 302: Dealing a first special designed playing card to each of the at least one player face up and to dealer face down, and dealing a second special designed playing card to each of the at least one player and to the dealer, wherein the second special designed playing card in the at least one player's hand is placed face up, and the second special designed playing card in the dealer's hand is placed face up.

Furthermore, in this step, if the numbers or letters in the either row of the first special designed playing card and the numbers or letters in the corresponding row of the second special designed playing card in the at least one player's hand are the same, the at least one player can decide whether to split. If the at least one player decide to split, go to step 303, and if the at least one player decides not to split, directly go to step 304.

Within this step in a preferable embodiment, if the numbers or letters in the multiple rows of the first special designed playing card and the numbers or letters in the corresponding rows of the second special designed playing card in the at least one player's hand are the same, the at least one player can decide whether or not split, and how many rows he/she decides to split. Accordingly, in the event that the player wants to split, he/she will place wager on the split location(s). As mentioned before, a split brings a wagering opportunity, which means during a single hand in Triple Blackjack in this embodiment, player(s) will possess up to 6 opportunities to wager at maximum. Alternatively, player(s) may decide to not split to give up the extra wagering opportunities.

For example, if the numbers or letters in multiple rows of the first special designed playing card and the numbers or letters in the multiple corresponding rows of the second special designed playing card in the at least one player's hand are the same, the at least one player can freely choose to split the two special designed playing cards based on the amount of the same rows between the original designed playing cards. There are two scenarios in this example. Take FIG. 5 as an example, where a player (not dealer) has two rows having same numbers ([Queen, K] in the first row and [2] in the second row) in the two original designed paying cards. One scenario is that the player may choose split one time based on either same row (assume the player chooses [K] row, the first row, to split), then put the same amount of wagers as in the bet location (the first bet location to the corresponding (parallel) split location (the first split location), and then the dealer deals a third special designed playing card and a fourth special designed playing cards to the at least one player to pair with the first special designed playing card and the second special designed playing card after split. Thus, combined with after-split choice, the player has one more bet opportunity based on the split. The other scenario is that the player decides to split two times ([K] row and [2] row in FIG. 5; however, possibly up to three split times upon the actual amount of the same rows), then put the same amount of wagers as in the bet locations (the first and second bet locations) to the corresponding (parallel) split locations (the first and second split locations), and then the dealer deals a third special designed playing card and a fourth special designed playing cards to the at least one player to pair with the first special designed playing card and the second special designed playing card after split. Thus, combined with after-split choice, the player has a more multiple bet opportunities based on the split. Therefore, combined all the possibility of the cards and the player's choice, there is a chance to add up to 6 bet opportunities to wager during a single hand in Triple Blackjack game of the present invention, no doubt increasing the amusement and unpredictability.

Step 303: After the at least one player decides to split the two special designed playing cards and put the same amount of wager as in the bet location(s) to the corresponding split location(s), then the dealer will deal additional special designed playing cards to the at least one player to pair with the first special designed playing card and the second special designed playing card after split.

Step 304: Adding the point value of the number or letter shown in the first row, the second row, and/or the third row corresponding to the bet locations and/or the split location(s) where the at least one wager is placed in step 301 and step 303.

Step 305: Determining an actual total point value for the first row, the second row, and/or the third row of the special designed playing cards in the at least one player's hand.

Furthermore, in this step, if the at least one player requests to add more point value on at least one of the three rows, then go to step 306; if the at least one player doesn't request more special designed playing cards, then directly go to step 307.

Step 306: Dealing one special designed playing card to the at least one player, and add the point value of the number or letter shown in the row that the at least one player requested for, and continue this step until the at least one player requests to stop, then the dealer turns the first special designed playing card in the dealer's hand to face up, and continue to step 308.

In other words, there is a wager on any one of the bet locations, the at least one player can request more cards for each of the bet locations. If the at least one player already held on the first bet after the third special designed playing card is dealt, and also held on the split bet after the fourth special designed playing card is dealt (if there is a split), the following card(s) that the at least one player requested will only add value to the second row (for second bet) and the third row (for third bet).

Step 307: The dealer turns the first special designed playing card in the dealer's hand to face up, and continue to step 308.

Step 308: Adding the point value of the number or letter shown in the first row, the second row, and/or the third row of the special designed playing cards in the dealer's hand.

Step 309: Determining which row has a greater actual total point value (the first row, second row, or third row), then use that row to compete with the at least one player's each row that has put the at least one wager, and if there is the at least one wager put in the split location(s), then when competing with the split part of the special designed playing cards, only compete with the actual total point value of the first row of the split part of the special designed playing cards, and completing the new blackjack game (called Triple Blackjack) according to conventional rules of play.
