ABSTRACT:
A wagering card game permitting players to play against a dealer or the "house" and not against other players. Six standard decks of playing cards, from which all face cards have been removed, are combined. Each of the numbered cards has a number value equal to its number, and aces have a number value of 11. Each player places a wager as to whether a three-card game hand to be dealt to him or her will be odd or even. If a player's odd/even wager matches the sum of the number values of the three cards dealt to that player, then the player wins the wager. Preferably, a single card is dealt face down to the dealer and in addition to an odd/even wager as to the player's own game hand, the player is permitted to place one or more other wagers as to a characteristic of the face down card. Further, each player is permitted to place additional wagers as to another characteristic of the cards in the player's own game hand. Variations of the type of game hand dealt are also possible.
