ABSTRACT:
In blackjack, a player makes an initial wager, and a dealer distributes one card to the player, one card to the dealer, another card to the player, and another card to the dealer. One of the cards to the dealer is revealed while the other is face down. The player requests additional cards until the player achieves a desired numerical value of cards less than or equal to a value of "21". When the numerical value of the player's hand is greater than "21", the game terminates, thereby resulting in the player losing the initial wager. Meanwhile, the dealer takes additional cards to achieve a desired numerical value of cards less than or equal to a value of "21" and greater than the value of the player's cards. The arrangement is such that the initial wager and a predetermined amount is awarded to the player if the player has a higher value than the dealer, or the initial wager is awarded to the dealer if the dealer has a higher value than the player. With the side bet of the present invention, after the dealer deals the cards to the player and the dealer, the player is given the opportunity to place a side bet if the dealer's revealed card has a value of "10". The player is awarded the a predetermined amount when the dealer's face down card has a value of "11" (i.e., an ace). But, if the dealer's face down card has a value other than "11", the player loses the side bet.
