Abstract:
1. A method to play a wagering card game based on blackjack, the method comprising: one or more players place a bet; a dealer deals at least one card to himself and at least one pair of cards to each of said one or more players; the dealer then deals one or more further optional cards to each player, until the player stands or the total of the value of the cards in the player's hand exceeds 21; if the total of the value of cards in the player's hand exceeds 21, the player loses the bet; the dealer then deals one or more further cards to himself, until he stands, or the total of the value of the cards in his hand exceeds 21; if the total of the value of the cards in the dealer's hand is 21 or less and is greater than the value of the cards in the player's hand, then the player loses the bet; if the total of the value of the cards in the player's hand is 21 or less and is greater than the total of the value of the cards in the dealer's hand, then the dealer loses the bet; if the player's and dealer's hand are of equal value and 21 or less, then the bet is pushed; or if the total of the value of the cards of the dealer's hand is a single numerical point total selected from 22 to 26, then the dealer would push the bet instead of paying the bet as a winning wager if the total of the value of the cards of the dealer's hand is higher than 21 but not the single numerical point total.
