ABSTRACT:
A combination card and dice game is employed suitable for play in casinos and card clubs. A number of players are seated around a table and one of the players is designated as a bank player. All other players thereupon become nonbank players. All players make their wagers prior to dealing of any cards. Two poker deck cards are thereupon dealt face down to all players. While the nonbank players may immediately look at their cards, the bank player's cards must remain face down until the bank player rolls a pair of cubical gambling dice to determine a current target point count. These dice are preferably specially configured so that they will display either a total of seven or eleven spots, regardless of the faces of the dice showing. Therefore, the target point count for each game is either the number seven or the number eleven. Players determine the values of their hands and may optionally draw a third card. The object of the game is to achieve a hand value as close as possible to the target point count of seven or eleven. If the point count total within a hand exceeds the target point count, whole number integer multiples of the target point count are subtracted from the total point count until a number equal to or less than the target point count is reached.
