Benefits of technology

This approach provides players with more engaging and potentially favorable odds by allowing mid-game wagers on the dealer's bust, enhancing player interaction and perceived fairness, while maintaining the house's advantage through carefully designed payoffs and rules.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional side-bets may have various drawbacks, such as leaving the players with the impression that the odds of winning are still stacked in the house's favor, the odds presented are unfavorable, the side-bets offered are undesirable, unimaginative, or viewed as having an unacceptable high-risk for the offered payout, and the like.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The present embodiments are directed to a method for placing a Blackjack side-bet. In one aspect, the side-bet offered may be placed against any dealer face-up card—Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, or King. The payoff may vary depending upon the dealer face-up card and paid in accordance with a pay table. The bet may be paid when the dealer hits their hand and exceeds the total of 21, therefore going bust. The bet may lose when the dealer receives a standing hand of 17, 18, 19, 20 or 21. The side-bet may be made once the dealer's face-up card has been determined, and may be asked for at one time similar to an insurance bet or as each player acts on their individual hands. If the dealer has no players left to play against when it is their turn to act on their hand, the bet may be considered a push. If by mistake the hole card is exposed prematurely, there may be no more side-bets allowed, but all existing side-bets will have action.

The side-bet offered may be placed against any dealer face-up card—Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, or King. The payoff may vary depending upon the dealer face-up card and paid in accordance with a pay table. The bet may be paid when the dealer hits their hand and exceeds the total of 21, therefore going bust. The bet may lose when the dealer receives a standing hand of 17, 18, 19, 20 or 21. The side-bet may be made once the dealer's face-up card has been determined. The side-bet may be asked for at one time similar to an insurance bet or as each player acts on their individual hands.
