It's only Bigot if you change "Black Jack" to "Blackjack". Otherwise 
it's "Bjigot", which I suppose is a prejudiced Norseman.

I don't know how I feel about this. Blackjack has basically no skill 
involved unless you count cards and watch closely; that strategy 
doesn't apply in this game. I have a strong suspicion that you could 
find two numbers x and y such that this game is basically identical to 
the game "Roll 1dx. If you roll above y, get twice your bet. Otherwise, 
lose your bet."

I greatly prefer games that require skill, or at least thought, to the 
random awarding of points.
