Introduction to: Common-Hand Blackjack®

The New Way to Deal and Play Blackjack
The Game is significantly faster with One Common-Hand is dealt which all Players share. Each making his own play decisions.
No card will be drawn until all Players have made their play decisions.

Roules
One split and Double on 9-11 only.
No card will be drawn until all Players have made their play decisions.

Playing Procedures
Step 1. All Players make their bets.

Step 2. A Common-Hand of two cards is dealt face up and one card is dealt face up to the Dealer.

Step 3. Each Player makes a play decision to draw a card, to double down or to stand.
If the Player elects to draw a card or double down go to Step 4.
If the Player elects to stand go to Step 5.

Step 4. Once every Player has made his play decision a third card is dealt face up and will belong to those Players who have elected to draw a card or double down.
Players who has double down go to Step 5.
If the hand value is below 21 after the third card is exposed, any Player may stand or request a fourth card.
The same procedure as in Step 3 (no double down) is followed until all Players stand or bust.

Step 5. When the Player stands the value of the hand is recorded on the Blackjack Grid (as illustrated) .' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://www.casinoholdempoker.com/CHP%20Black%20List/HoneycombGrid.jpg].

Step 6. When all Players' play decisions have been executed. The Dealer will burn a card and draws to his hand in the normal way.


What to do with Splittable-Pairs? (using Stephen’s Split-Pairs concept.)

The following Table sets out the Split-Pair Options and Consequences (using Stephen’s Split-Pairs)
In the case of split Aces the Common-Hand is complete once the second card is dealt to each Ace.

1 Splittable pair is dealt as the Common-Hand
All decide not to split: One non-split hand of two cards (See Fig 1) is played and the hand will be played to completion.

2 Splittable pair is dealt as the Common-Hand
All decide to split: Two split hands of one card each (See Fig 2) are played to completion. The original hand no longer exists.

3. Splittable pair is dealt as the Common-Hand
Some split – Some don't split: Three Common-Hands are played; one non-split hand of two cards and two split hands of one card each (See Fig 3).
Non-split Hand (See Fig 1) is played and completed before dealing with the two new hands created by the split cards (See Fig 2).

DESCRIPTION: Blackjack-Sandwich
Blackjack Sandwich is a card game designed to be played as a blackjack side bet. The object of the game is to achieve a “sandwich” in which the dealer’s up card is ranked between both or equal to either of the player’s first two cards.

RULES:
1. Blackjack-Sandwich is played using 4 to 8 decks of cards. For purposes of the side bet, aces are always high.

2. To begin, the player makes his wager for the side bet in the appropriate betting box.

3. The dealer then deals two cards face up to each player and one card face up and one card face down to himself as part of the normal blackjack dealing procedure.

4. Before continuing further with the blackjack game, the dealer will assess the outcome of each side bet hand to determine whether any player has achieved a sandwich.

5. Starting on his right, the dealer will collect all losing bets and pay all winning bets according to the sandwich pay schedule. The following table describes each winning hand on the pay table.


Hands and Descriptions
Triple Sandwich: --------Three of a Kind

Straight Sandwich: -----The ranks of all 3 cards are consecutive.
The rank of the dealer’s up card is in between the ranks of the player’s 2 cards.

Pair Sandwich: ----------The rank of one of the player’s cards matches the rank of the dealer’s up card.

Sandwich: ---------------The rank of the dealer’s up card is in between the ranks of the player’s 2 cards.

Blackjack-Sandwich Pay Table (6 deck)
Triple Sandwich ------ 15
Straight Sandwich ---- 7
Pair Sandwich --------- 1
Sandwich -------------- 1


ANALYSIS
To analyze Blackjack Sandwich, a combinatorial program was written in Java to evaluate all possible outcomes of the game. To do so, the program cycled through all 13 unique ways to deal the dealer’s up card versus all 91 unique ways to deal the player’s 2 cards. The program then determined whether or not the 3 cards produced a winning hand and if so, the value of that winning hand.

The number of combinations of each type of winning hand as determined by the program was then verified using combinatorics counting techniques.

Introduction to: Hybrid Double-Bet Roulette™.

General:
Hybrid Double-Bet Roulette is played on a gaming cloth as illustrated – the familiar Roulette Cloth plus extra Double-Bet Boxes.

The Double-Bet concept enables the Players to bet on two outcomes namely the standard Roulette Wheel Number together with the result of the Random Number Generator.

Both numbers must occur for a winning bet.

The Double-Bet is made by placing a bet on any one or more Double-Bet Boxes.
The winning Double-Bet consists of the winning street (or zero straight up) in combination with the number (1, 2, 3 or 4) produced by the Random Number Generator as indicated on the Number Display Unit.

Betting Example: The Player fancies 22-24 Street. He places his bet on the betting box for the street selecting one of the four numbers, (1,2,3 or 4) to complete his double-bet.

Dealer's Procedures:
The Players place their bets.

In addition to making the Standard Roulette bets Players may make one or more double-bets, on the appropriate Double-Bet Box or Boxes, which will be successful if two pre-designated outcomes are correctly forecast.

The first outcome is zero or the 'street' containing the standard number into which pocket on the Roulette wheel the Roulette ball lands; the second outcome is 1,2,3 or 4 as determined by the Random Number Generator.

The dealer spins the ball in the normal way. The Scanner knowing when the ball is due to drop, energises the Random Number Generator and sends a 'No More Bets' message to the Number Display Unit.

The Random Number Generator will offer a number between 1 and 4 inclusive which appears on the Number Display Unit Just before the roulette ball lands in one of the roulette wheel pockets.

Once the ball has landed in a pocket in the roulette wheel the dealer will place two dollies one on the winning number on the Principal gaming cloth the other on the winning number on the Double-Bet box.

The dealer will clear all losing bets including all losing Double-Bets.

The dealer will pay all (standard) outside bets, i.e. the evens bets and the two to one chances.

Dealer will pay out all winning Double-Bets in accordance with the Double-Bet Pay-Out Schedule.

Dealer will remove the Double-Bet dolly.

The dealer will next pay out all winning bets on the Principal gaming after which dealer will remove the Roulette dolly.
