Bingo game with blackjack component

Abstract

A method, system, and computer readable storage medium to implement a bingo related game that uses cards to determine individual outcomes. A dealer can deal blackjack hands to determine the individual outcomes which are designated on game pieces. A shoe of multiple decks can be used, with each deck having a different color. Thus, each outcome can have a point total representing a hand value as well as a color representing the last card dealt to make that hand.

 providing a shoe comprising a first deck of cards using a first color and a second deck of cards using a second color;   proving unique game pieces to at least two players;   determining a card hand to determine an outcome, the outcome comprising the card hand and a characteristic;   displaying the outcome;   allowing the players to mark their respective game pieces based on the outcome;   determining if one of the at least two players has marked a predetermined pattern on the player's respective game piece, and if so, awarding an award to the player; and   repeating the resolving and the displaying until a terminating condition occurs.   
     
     
         2 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the terminating condition is when a player has marked a predetermined pattern on the player's respective game piece.
