ABSTRACT:
The invention provides methods and apparatus for playing a Blackjack-type of card game. According to one exemplary method, a banker is selected who then establishes the bank or maximum bet amount. An initial card is then dealt to the player and banker. After receiving the initial card, the player makes an initial wager limited at least by the amount placed in the bank by the banker. A second card is then dealt to the player and banker. At this point the player has the option of standing on the two-card hand or receiving an additional card. When the player decides to stand on a hand and refuses an additional card, the banker then has the option of receiving additional cards. Once the banker chooses to not receive an additional card, the banker's and player's cards are compared in the manner of conventional Blackjack to determine a winning and losing player.
