Blackjack Variant Game and Method of Play

摘要

A live or electronically implemented casino game of Blackjack wherein players are afforded an opportunity, by payment of an ante or discard fee in advance of any cards having been dealt, to replace both of the face-up cards in their originally dealt hand with two new face-down cards that are dealt to the players prior to the original hand being dealt and which the players have not seen prior to electing to replacement the original hand with a replacement hand. Where the player elects not to switch hands, the replacement cards are transferred by the dealer to the discard card rack unseen by the players, effectively hindering card counting.
