A card reading apparatus is provided for playing a casino table game identified as Down Under Blackjack&#x2122;. The apparatus includes a camera assembly, a computer, a housing assembly and a plurality of color indicators. The computer receives pixel-based image data from the camera assembly. This data is obtained from the dealer's down card during play of the game. The computer processes this data to output information related to a predetermined set of playing cards associated with the down card. Such output activates one of the color indicators corresponding to that particular predetermined set. The information associated with the activated indicator can be used by players in playing the Down Under Blackjack&#x2122; game. Use of the apparatus enables the game to be played using conventional playing cards.
