20140094238 | Card Game - A card game is described in which two hands of cards are dealt, and players are invited to wager on whether one hand or the other will win, or whether the hands will tie. The hands may initially be formed from two cards each, and further cards may be added to the hands on the basis of a predetermined dealing tableau. Determination of the winner may be on the basis of a modified blackjack scoring system which provides for a winner even if both hands have totals over 21. In an alternative embodiment, the initial hands are formed from five cards each and the winning hand is determined by determining ascribing a rank value to the five-card combination and determining that the winning hand is the hand with the higher rank value. In some embodiments, the rank value may represent the highest-ranking poker hand which can be formed from the cards of each hand, and the winner will be the hand from which the higher-ranking poker hand can be formed. Rank values may be ascribed to 5-card combinations on the basis of other criteria or characteristics of the five-card combination. | 04-03-2014 |
