Abstract
A method, system, and computer readable storage to implement a variation of a blackjack game with an improved splitting mechanism. In an embodiment, the player cannot split unless the player is dealt a qualifying pair. If the player is dealt a qualifying pair, then one (or both) of the initial player's cards is replaced and then the two cards are split and played out as separate hands.
