| 20120056379 | THREE CARD BLACKJACK - The invention relates to a modified blackjack game between a dealer and at least one player. After placing initial wagers, three cards are dealt to each player and two cards dealt to the dealer. The game design allows players to either retain their initial three cards for play as a game hand, or divide their cards into separate game hands. Dividing cards into separate hands requires additional wagers. Players may play their one or more game hands by standing or hitting to reach a hand that is higher than the dealers without exceeding twenty-one. Players may divide their initial three card hand in any fashion that will provide them with the best opportunity to obtain a game hand under the conventional rules of blackjack. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110266747 | CRAPS-BASED SIDE WAGER FOR BLACKJACK CARD GAME - A card game of Blackjack including a novel side wager. If a Player has made the side wager, two dice are rolled. If the sum of the two rolled dice is 2, 3 or 12, the side bet is automatically lost similar to the Come-Out roll in the game of craps. If the dice sum is 7 or 11, the side bet is automatically won. If the dice sum is anything other, a Point is established. As in traditional Blackjack, each Player is dealt two cards face up, and the Dealer is dealt two cards—one face up. A Player wins the side bet if one of their dealt cards has a face value equal to the Point, or if the sum of their dealt cards equals the Point. Several variations on the basic game method are described. According to one variation, the side wager is resolved uniformly for all Players that have made the optional side wager based on the Dealer's initial up card or on the Dealer's first two cards when both are revealed. The invention may be implemented as a live table game in conjunction with the card game Blackjack, or in electronic implementations were the cards, playing surface, and dice are simulated on a display screen through the action of a non-transitory computer readable medium coded with instructions and executed by a processor. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110198809 | PAI GOW CARD GAME WITH SIDE BET OPTIONS - A modified version of the casino table/video game Pai Gow Poker, may be played with five to seven cards dealt to each player/dealer. Optional secondary and tertiary side wagers are proved which allow the player to use their cards to establish various pre-defined card combinations and/or values which, if achieved, result in a pay-out according to a pre-defined proportional factor of the amount wagered. In the secondary side wager, the High and/or Low hands are viewed as a Blackjack hand which is resolved against a pay table representing a plurality of outcomes. Various tertiary bonus schemes may include, for examples, a bonus based on all cards considered against a poker table, a bonus paid on consideration of one, two, three, four or five cards, consideration of the High and Low hands separately or collectively based on a Low Sum pay table, etc. The subject modified Pai Gow card is preferably played with one or two Jokers to increase the likelihood of players making a hand and therefore increase the excitement of the game. | 08-18-2011 |
