CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 119 to commonly owned UK Provisional Application No. 0507030.5, filed in the UK Patent Office on May 30, 2006, entitled, "Blackjack Bingo," by inventor Geoff Hall, the application of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for all purposes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present inventive concept relates to a casino table game, and more particularly, to a variation of casino blackjack.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] The popularity of casino blackjack has been waning in recent years. Other games, such as poker variants and machine games have provided the standard blackjack game with some competition. Moreover, the standard blackjack game has become old and tiresome as gamblers have a limited attention span and like to see new and exciting games.

[0006] Therefore, what is needed is a new variation of blackjack which can provide a more enjoyable game than the standard version

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] It is an aspect of the present invention to provide an enjoyable variation of blackjack that can be played in a casino that some players may prefer over the standard game.

[0008] The above aspects can be obtained by a method that includes (a) providing an indicator display which can display occurrences of at least two conditions; (b) resolving a main wager by dealing dealt cards, completing a blackjack game, and updating the indicator display based on an occurrence derived from the dealt cards; and (c) determining if the indicator display displays a predetermined winning set, and if so, paying the player an award based on the winning set.

[0009] The above aspects can also be obtained by a method that includes (a) providing an indicator board which can display occurrences of at least two conditions; (b) receiving a first blackjack wager and a side wager from a player; (c) playing a first blackjack hand by dealing first dealt cards; (d) updating the indicator board based on at least one of the first dealt cards; (e) determining if the indicator board displays a predetermined set of conditions, and if so, then awarding the player an award for the side wager. (f) receiving a second blackjack wager from the player; (g) playing a second blackjack hand by dealing second dealt cards; (h) updating the indicator board based on at least one of the second dealt cards; (i) determining if the indicator board displays a predetermined set of conditions, and if so, then awarding the player an award for the side wager.

[0010] These together with other aspects and advantages which will be subsequently apparent, reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
