Card game with counting

1. A system comprising:

a memory, having stored thereon, a set of instruction, in which, when executed by a computing device, the set of instructions cause the computing device to perform a method comprising the acts of:

providing an indication of a deck of cards;

playing a game using the deck of cards;

determining a first value of a card count describing the deck of cards;

determining at least one card used from the deck of cards in the game, in which rules for determining a winner of the game are defined by the rules of blackjack;

determining a second value of the card count based on the first value and the at least one card;

determining that the second value is at least one of greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold; and

in response to determining that the second value is at least one of greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, initiating a shuffling of the deck of cards prior to using the deck for any further games.

2. The system of claim 1 in which initiating the shuffle includes signaling that a reshuffle is due.

3. The system of claim 1 in which the card count represents a difference between a number of ten-value cards remaining in the deck and a number of cards remaining in the deck with point values of two through six.

4. The system of claim 1 in which the card count represents a difference between a number of cards with point values of two through six removed from the deck and a number of ten-value cards removed from the deck.

5. The system of claim 1 in which determining the second value of the card count includes incrementing the first value if the at least one card has a point value of two through six, and decrementing the first value if the at least one card has a point value of ten.

6. The system of claim 4 in which the first threshold is nine and in which the second threshold is negative eight.

7. The system of claim 4 in which the first threshold is nine and in which the second threshold is negative nine.

8. The system of claim 1 in which determining at least one card occurs after the first value has been determined and in which determining a second value occurs after the at least one card has been determined.

9. A system comprising:

a memory, having stored thereon, a set of instruction, in which, when executed by a computing device, the set of instructions cause the computing device to perform a method comprising the acts of:

providing an indication of a deck of cards;

playing a first game using the deck of cards;

determining the first value of the first card count describing the first game, in which rules for determining a winner of the first game are defined by the rules of blackjack;

playing a second game;

determining the second value of the second card count describing the second game, in which the second game includes a game played from a separate deck than the first game and in which rules for determining a winner of the second game are defined by the rules of blackjack; and

displaying the first value and the second value together on a display device to non-participants in the first game and second game.

10. The system of claim 9 in which displaying together includes displaying on a public monitor.

11. The system of claim 9 in which the display device includes a screen of a mobile device through which a wager may be placed related to at least one of the first game and the second game.

12. The system of claim 11 , in which the method further comprises:

receiving an indication of the wager from the mobile device.

13. A system comprising:

a memory, having stored thereon, a set of instruction, in which, when executed by a computing device, the set of instructions cause the computing device to perform a method comprising the acts of:

providing an indication of a deck of cards;

playing a first game using the deck of cards;

determining the first value of a first card count describing the first game, in which rules for determining a winner of the first game are defined by the rules of blackjack;

playing a second game;

determining the second value of the second card count describing the second game, in which rules for determining a winner of the second game are defined by the rules of blackjack, and in which the second game includes a game played from a separate deck than the first game;

determining a third value of a statistic based on the first value and the second value; and

displaying the third value on a display device to non-participants in the first game and second game.

14. The system of claim 13 in which the statistic represents an average of the first statistic and the second statistic.
