Abstract:
A method to implement a blackjack variation includes that, when the dealer is resolving the dealer's hand, if the dealer's point total is a preset total, then the dealer would automatically burn a card in the dealer's hand (such as the last card dealt to the dealer). The preset total can be twenty-one, so that, whenever the dealer's point total (after the dealer is done resolving the dealer's hand) is twenty-one, the dealer would burn a card in the dealer's hand. Thus, the dealer would typically have to draw another card, which could result in a better outcome for the player. (E.g., the dealer could bust or end up with a point total less than twenty-one).
