Multiple action blackjack

Abstract

Abstract A variation of the card game of Twenty-One enables each player to play a single hand against multiple successive dealer's hands. The apparatus for playing the game includes a table layout with positions designated for the players to make their wagers and play their hands and for the dealer to play his hands. Each of the dealer's hands uses the same "up" card. Each player makes one or more antes to be eligible to participate against each of the dealer's hands played during any particular round and two cards are dealt to each player and the dealer. Each player then takes hits or stands as desired by the player. Once all of the players have completed the play, the dealer then takes hits or stands as required by the predetermined method of play of the dealer's hand. Once the dealer has completed the play of his hand, winning player's wagers are paid and losing player's wagers are collected, but only relative to the player's first ante and any additional bets that may have been made. The dealer then plays a "second" hand according to the predetermined method of play for the dealer using his original "up" card. Again, winning player's wagers are paid and losing player's second ante and any additional bets that may have been made. This method of play continues for the number of multiple dealer's hands that are prescribed.
