Abstract
A casino table game having a football motif is played on a standard table that resembles a blackjack table having six or seven betting positions around the same. Each betting position includes a symbol for a home team and a visiting team so that each player can place a bet on either. Additional side or bonus bets can also be made. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards with jokers. The table layout resembles a football field and includes spots for the dealer to place four cards for the home team and four cards for the visiting team. In the simplest form of the game, the team with the most points after adding up the four cards wins.
