Abstract

Disclosed is a method of playing a card game including a system of wagering on a card game against the house. The card game loosely combines the components of blackjack and poker in a three card game having various wagers paying out. The wagers may include an ante, play and insurance wager which pay out based upon either even money or by a pay table. Winning and losing hands are essentially based upon the game of blackjack with a hand hierarchy ranked in part on poker. The hand hierarchy ranks hands of 21 based on suites, straights, three of a kind and ace value card combinations.
