Improved Blackjack-style games are set forth. In one embodiment, the player
and dealer are dealt at least two cards and can discard and exchange one
of the cards to make a final hand. In another embodiment a trump card is
used to resolve pushes. The trump card can also be used for designating
certain jackpot awards. In still another embodiment, face cards of Jacks
through Kings are assigned values other than the traditional value of 10.
In another embodiment, losing player wagers are inventoried and either
recaptured or lost based upon the outcome of the subsequent hand. In
another embodiment the player makes two wagers and plays a traditional
Blackjack hand. To resolve the second wager the player's hand receives
additional cards (if necessary) to have at least five cards representing a
winning or losing Stud Poker hand.
