ABSTRACT:
An electronic card game simulation apparatus adapted primarily for portable hand-held use by a player. A microprogrammed MOS/LSI device receives selection signals generated by means of a keyboard to which a player has access, and controls the progress of the card game in response thereto and in accordance with established game rules as programmed in a storage device such as a read only memory unit. A display device, such as a plurality of seven-segment fluorescent displays, indicates the identity of simulated playing cards dealt randomly from a full 52-card deck of simulated cards as the game progresses. In a preferred embodiment, the microprogrammed device includes memory capacity, arithmetic capability, and appropriate programming to permit a player to play the well known game of Blackjack against a phantom dealer and to place bets which are automatically added or subtracted from a previously established stake in accordance with the outcome of each hand.
