ABSTRACT:
A blackjack play option response indicator which presents the 350 card combinations and the appropriate play option response for each card combination, composed of two disk rotatably connected to each other. The back disk has thereon a plurality of radially arranged rows of play option response indicia, wherein "B" designates "blackjack"; "H" designates "hit"; "S" designates "stand"; "D" designates "double down"; and "SP" designates "split". There are 350 play option response indicia which correspond to the recommended play option responses uniquely corresponding to each and every one of the 350 card combinations possible in blackjack. Adjacent the perimeter of the back disk, dealer's up card value indicia are provided thereon. The front disk is provided with a view port in the form of, preferably, four radially arranged slots for being selectively aligned with the aforementioned play option response indicia. Adjacent each slot is a player's card value indicia corresponding to all possible hands, which is either the total value of the player's hand, or each card in the event the cards include an ace or are a pair. The front disk further includes alignment indicia for selectively aligning a slot with the dealer's up card value indicia. In operation, the player finds the player's cards value indicia which corresponds best to his or her hand on the front disk. The player notes the value of the dealer's up card, and then rotates the front disk relative to the back disk so that the alignment indicia aligns with the dealers' up card value indicia on the back disk. Now, the appropriate play option response indicia will have appeared at the slot corresponding to the player's cards value indicia of the player's hand. The player then makes the play option so indicated.
