Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus, system, computer readable storage media, and/or method that involve or otherwise facilitate a card game or secondary card game played on a gaming device. The card game may be structured to use similar rules to a blackjack-styled card game. The card game may be played against an opponent, such as a computer, dealer, or another player. Alternatively, the card game may include the display of one or more cards and a process to determine if a total value of the cards meets a predefined criterion. A win against an opponent or satisfaction of the predefined criterion may progress the card game to another round of play. These rounds of play may continue until an opponent wins, or until the predefined criterion is not satisfied.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of operating a gaming device having a player input device, a game display, a memory configured to store a credit amount and store a table identifying a predefined minimum threshold and a predefined maximum threshold, a wager input device structured to accept physical items associated with a currency amount, and a processor, the method comprising:\n receiving a signal from the wager input device indicating receipt of a physical item associated with a currency amount; increasing the credit amount in memory based upon the received signal from the wager input device; receiving a signal initiating a primary game event on the game display, the signal indicating a wager amount, where the credit amount is reduced by the wager amount; determining an outcome for the primary game event; initiating a secondary bonus event when a triggering condition is satisfied, the secondary bonus event comprising the steps of:\n (a) dealing two playing cards representing a player's hand, \n (b) determining a value of the player's hand, \n (c) providing a secondary award when the determined value of the player's dealt hand exceeds the predefined minimum threshold, \n (d) drawing an additional card for the player's hand to form a modified player's hand when the determined value of the player's hand does not meet the predefined minimum threshold, \n (e) determining if the value of the modified player's hand exceeds the predefined maximum threshold, \n (f) ending the secondary bonus event when the determined value of the modified player's hand exceeds the predefined maximum threshold, \n (g) providing a secondary award when the value of the modified player's hand exceeds the predefined minimum threshold while remaining less than or equal to the predefined maximum threshold, and \n (h) repeating steps (d)-(g) when modified player's hand does not meet the predefined minimum threshold; and \n providing any awards associated with the primary gaming event and the secondary bonus event, where the provided awards increase the credit amount stored in memory.
