A casino wagering game where at least one player has the options to either
place multiple wagers against a dealer and/or banker (the house) in a
game, to qualify for a pre-determined Bonus schedule, or both. However,
uniquely by the design of the present invention, each participating
player is initially dealt three cards creating at least two separate
hands. Specifically, one of those cards dealt to each player is
considered a "shared card" in its relationship to each of the other two
cards dealt to that player. Within the dealing, the house is dealt one
hand of two cards. According to another aspect, the three cards initially
dealt to each player, defined as at least two separate hands, may be
treated separately in a Bonus game offered for an additional or separate
wager. After the initial Bonus aspect of the game is resolved, a game
defined by the house ensues.
