ABSTRACT:
A method of dealing playing cards in the gambling casino game known as Twenty-one or Blackjack which prevents player skill from determining the outcome of a game. The method involves the removal of a multiplicity of unseen cards from the active deck before each game, creating large uncertainties in the deck's composition which nullify the mathematical probabilities upon which player strategy is based and which make card counting impossible, thereby removing the means by which the players gain advantage over the dealer. The uncertainties grow large with each game dealt from a deck, enabling dealers to play the active deck down completely without giving undue advantage to players.
