ABSTRACT:
A modified method of playing Blackjack wherein a player plays one hand against the dealer's one hand and the player can optionally make a modified 21 wager called "Texas 21 Wager" and/or a conventional 21 wager before the start of the deal. A winning Texas 21 wager pays double the amount paid on conventional 21 wagers. The player loses the Texas 21 wager whenever the dealer's face-up card is a three, four, five or six or when the dealer's hand beats the player's hand. An embodiment of the present invention in one version of the invention is a modified Blackjack table layout that has double wager boxes for each player. One "21" wager box is for conventional 21 wagers and an adjacent 21 wager box with indicia within showing "Texas 21 Wager Pays Double" where the player places his modified Texas 21 wager. In another version of this modified Blackjack game a conventional Blackjack table layout can be used. On the conventional layout when the player desires to make a conventional 21 wager and/or a Texas 21 wager the player places his wager or wagers in his 21 wager box with a Texas 21 wager marker disc on top of the Texas 21 wager. The conventional 21 wager and the player's and dealer's hands are played as they are played in conventional Blackjack games. The Texas 21 wager is won or lost according to the conventional rules of Blackjack except that the player always loses the Texas 21 wager when the dealer's face-up card is a three, four, five or six, whether or not his hand beats the dealer's hand. The Texas 21 wager cannot be split or a double down wager made on it.
