ABSTRACT:
A card game called "Newjack" is disclosed. Newjack is preferably played with between one to eight normal decks of playing cards, although a larger number of decks may be employed. Players play against each other rather than the house dealer. (Hence the game is not a banking game.) The players are trying to reach a card value total of between 22 and 30. When the target value is 22, aces are always worth 1. Deuces are worth 2 or 12. Each numbered card is worth its face value and picture cards (King Queen Jack) are each worth 10. In Newjack, the player wagers against a designated player "Dealer". The designated Dealer is rotated throughout the game. The house collects a fixed amount from each player for each hand. Each player other than the Dealer is dealt two cards. The Dealer is dealt one card. The player's cards are dealt face down. The Dealer's card is dealt face up. Each player has the option to SHOW (a natural 22), STAND, HIT, DOUBLE, or SPLIT. After all the players have acted, the Dealer is dealt a second card face up. The Dealer chooses whether to hit or stand. Ties may be decided by the number of cards drawn. A three-card 21 beats a two-card 21. Jackpots can be provided, even to players with losing hands.
