ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for preventing card-counting in blackjack games includes one or more shields on a playing table which obstruct each player's view of at least one other player's cards, without obstructing each player's view of the dealer's cards or the dealer's view of any of the cards. One or more shields may be used. They may be fixed to the table, or they may be portable so that the dealer may move them during the game if he or she wishes. Portable shields may be supported by legs, or may be inserted in grooves in the table. Each shield is a thin sheet of opaque material which stands generally vertical with respect to the table. The plane defined by the shield generally passes through the dealer's line of sight so that the dealer's view of the players' cards, and each player's view of the dealer's cards, is not obstructed. However, each player's view of at least one other player's cards is obstructed so that none of the players may count cards. A checker vantage point is provided over the table from which a checker may view the dealer' s card and each of the player's cards.
