ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a blackjack-type wagering game where the playing cards have ranks and suits. Initially, the dealer deals a hand to each player making an ante bet and the banker. This dealing step includes the step of hitting each player and the banker as desired thereby. Next, it is determined whether each player has a winning hand, a losing hand or a push hand. For each push hand, it is then determined whether a poker value of that push hand is greater than or less that of the banker's. Finally, the ante bet of each respective player is paid to (a) each respective player if each respective player has a total hand value considered a winner over a total hand value of the banker or for a push hand if the poker value is greater than the banker's, or (b) the banker if each respective player has a total hand value considered a loser over a total hand value of the banker or for a push hand if the banker's poker value is greater than the player's. In a preferred embodiment, the dealing step includes allowing splits and hitting the hand of the banker until the total hand value is greater than 16. In addition, the valuing of a poker value is first by rank from higher to lower of ace to 2, and then by suit in the order of higher to lower of spades, hearts clubs, and diamonds.
