Method of playing a casino game

Abstract

A method of playing a casino game can be played in conjunction with primary common casino table games such as Blackjack, Poker, Pai Gow games, Baccarat, Acey-Deucey, and any game with six player locations. The game of the present invention employs two identical dice and a third different colored dice called the “Dragon's Eye”. Wagers are put down and payments made based on the cumulative numbers of the thrown dice and the numbers shown on the “Dragon's Eye”. Players actually become involved in rolling the dice based on the numbers shown on the dice themselves. The “Dragon's Eye” dice game is designed to be played at any number of casino tables prior to the play of the primary casino game. The various tables are linked electronically, to establish a progressive jackpot, based on the wagers and results of the “Dragon's Eye” game.
