Abstract

A method of playing a blackjack card game for providing a blackjack player the opportunity to control the subsequent cards dealt while simultaneously allowing all blackjack players to bet that the player is incorrect to win a share of a 'progressive jackpot'. The inventive device includes a game table having an area for player cards, a betting area for each player, a burn bet area for each player, a burn card area for receiving a burn card, and a container for receiving bets relating to a burn card. The game is played similarly to conventional blackjack except that each player is given the option of either (1) 'passing', (2) 'hitting', or (3) 'burning' after their initial two cards are dealt. When 'burning' a card, the player must place a 'burn payment' within the container after which the dealer places the 'burn card' from the deck face down within a burn card area of the game table. Each player is given the opportunity to place a burn bet within their respective burn bet area indicating they believe the burn card would have provided the burning player with '21'. After the burn bets are placed, the dealer exposing the burn card. If the burn card would have provided the player with '21', then all of the players that placed a burn bet receive an equally divided portion of the tokens within the container. If the burn card would not have provided the player with '21', then the burn bets are collected by the dealer and placed within the container forming a progressive jackpot. The burning player is finally dealt the next card from within the deck of cards.
