ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, a method for playing a non-banking Blackjack game is disclosed. A card game played according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is somewhat similar in spirit to traditional Blackjack. However, using the present invention, the individual players do not play against the house, instead, the players are pitted against each other. Each player station has a first betting location, a second betting location and a third betting location. To begin play players place their initial bets in their first betting location. After the initial bets have been placed, each player is dealt a first card. Each player then has the option to place a second bet in their second betting location. After the second bets have been placed each player is dealt a second card. Each player then has the option to place a third bet in their third betting location. Each player may then draw additional cards or stand. To resolve the bets, all players compare their final hands to determine a first winner. Then only the players that placed a bet in the second betting location compare their final hands to determine a second winner. Then only the players that placed in the third betting location compare their hands to determine a third winner. This provides an advantage in that a game played according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention allows for increased excitement to be generated as the players compete and bet against each other. Finally, the inclusion of wildcards increases the element of chance and enhances the possibility of a player getting a Blackjack.
