ABSTRACT:
A novel casino tale game, network game, computer game or video game comprises a player placing a wager (which may comprise three equal bets) to participate in the play of the game. Multiple card hands (at least two hands and preferably exactly two hands) are provided face down to a player. When there are three bets, the first bet establishes the wager amount for play of the first game; the second bet establishes the wager amount for the play of the second game; and the third bet establishes the wager amount for a parlay event involving the first and second hand. The first hand usually must be played to conclusion after initiation of the game, with winning combinations receiving a predetermined payout according to a pay table. After play of the first hand, the player may a) forfeit one of the two remaining wagers (as when there was no winning hand in the play of the first game), b) or continue play of the second hand. When both hands (the first and second hand) both achieve at least minimum predetermined ranks, a special payout is paid on the parlay third bet. In the play of the game, the player may win one amount on the play of a first hand, a second amount on the play of the second hand, and a third amount on the parlay play of both hands, with an opportunity to win an amount on the play of both hands in the parlay play that is more than additive with respect to the sum that can be won on the individual play of the first and second hands.
