A method for playing a modified Blackjack game is set forth using decks containing an extra 11 and/or 12 value card(s). Prior to play each player makes a Blackjack game wager and a suit wager. After one or more cards are dealt to each player a suit designating card is dealt and revealed and if one or both of the player's first two cards are of the same suit as the suit designating card, the player wins the suit wager. Thereafter, each player hand and the dealer hand are completed according to the rules of Blackjack (slightly modified due to the inclusion of the additional 11 and/or 12 value cards) and the Blackjack wagers are resolved.
