US 6,805,353 B2 · Method of playing a casino card game

Abstract

A contract wager and a bonus wager are placed to participate in the card game. A three card player hand is dealt face down to the player, a three card primary dealer hand is dealt face down to the dealer, and a three card dealer secondary hand is dealt face down to the dealer. Then, one of the cards of the primary dealer hand is exposed. The player hand is examined to determine the point total thereof, and an additional wager is placed to continue to participate in the card game. Then, the remaining two cards of the primary dealer hand are exposed, and the point total of the primary dealer hand is determined. If desired, one of the cards in the primary dealer hand may be replaced with one of the cards in the secondary dealer hand if the point total of the primary dealer hand is less than a predetermined minimum amount. Lastly, the contract wager and the additional wager are resolved by comparing the point total of the primary dealer hand to the point total of the player hand, and the bonus wager is resolved by comparing the point total of the player hand with a bonus pay table.
