发明名称 Method of playing a casino-type card game
摘要 A modified method of playing two casino-type card games, Twenty-One (Blackjack) and Stud Poker, where a player exercises the option to play either Twenty-One or Stud Poker upon receipt of their cards. To begin, players place an ante to be eligible to participate in the game of Twenty-One. Players may place a second optional ante making them eligible to participate in the game of Stud Poker. Each player and the dealer is dealt two cards, with at least one of the dealer's "community cards" turned face-up. Players evaluate their cards to determine which one of the two games they will elect to play. If the player determines the most beneficial method of play is Twenty-One then the player forfeits the second optional ante and is subject to the rules associated with the game of Twenty-One as it is commonly played. If the player determines the most beneficial method of play is Stud Poker then the player receives one additional card only, giving the player a total of three cards. The player now has a new Stud Poker ante equal to the cumulative sum of the Twenty-One ante and the second optional ante. If one or more players elect to play Twenty-One, then, the dealer deals them additional cards, or "hits," placing "hit" cards in a designated area, separate from the original two "community cards." The dealer will continue to "hit" until casino rules are satisfied. If all players elect to play Stud Poker, then the dealer does not "hit," and turns the face-down card to the up position. The dealer determines if the Twenty-One player has a winning hand and pays this player accordingly. The dealer determines if the Stud Poker player has a winning hand by comparing the dealer's two "community cards" with each player's three cards, (giving each Stud Poker player a total of five cards). Successful poker antes will be paid according to a preset schedule. All unsuccessful antes will be collected.
