Abstract:
1. A method of playing a hand of the card game Blackjack wherein a player places a primary bet, accumulates cards and creates one or more hands, stops at a selected point in receiving cards in each hand, such that adding the point values of the cards in a given hand creates a numerical total of the player's cards in that hand, the desired goal being that the numerical total of the player's cards is higher than a total numerical point value of a dealer's cards, but not greater than a total numerical point value of twenty-one, the improvement comprising: a. allowing the player to pay a fee in addition to the primary bet, both the primary bet and the fee being placed before any cards are dealt; b. allowing the player to accumulate cards to make one or more hands; c. if the player has paid the fee, allowing the player to roll a single six-sided die after all of the player's cards are accumulated for a hand as customary in the card game Blackjack; d. adding the numerical point value of the die roll outcome to the numerical total of the player's cards to arrive at the total numerical point value for the player's hand; e. comparing the total numerical point value for the player's hand to the total numeric point value of the dealer's cards; and f. paying out to the player if the total numerical point value of the player's cards in the hand is higher than a total numerical point value of the dealer's cards, but not greater than a total numerical point value of twenty-one.
