  • Publication number: 20100253001
    Abstract: Methods of playing card games similar to Blackjack and Baccarat are described. The methods include dealing initial hands of two cards.

Players are allowed to place bonus bets on the hands, such as three of a kind in the same suit, three of a kind, three low cards, three card straight, and first two cards are a pair.

  • Publication number: 20090224480
    Abstract: The standard game of Asia Poker is modified by dividing the seven cards dealt to each participant into three groups or hands rather than two, with the three groups containing four cards, two cards or one card, respectively. To win, a player must win on at least two of three hands, and because there are three hands rather than two, the number of tied hands or “pushes” is greatly reduced. Each player is also allowed to place a separate bonus wager that the cards of the hand of the player will include one hand of a posted table of payout hands. The payout hands for the separate bonus wager include at least a hand with a four of a kind and a three a kind. Following the step of dealing the cards, the game includes paying, according to predetermined odds, each player (i) who has placed a bonus wager and (ii) who has a hand including one of the payout hands.

  • Patent number: 7455297

To win, a player must win on at least two of three hands, and because there are three hands rather than two, the number of tied hands or “pushes” is greatly reduced. Further, by providing that the dealer (whether the house(casino) or a customer acting as the banker) wins all ties or “copy hands,” such “pushes” can be completely eliminated.

To win, a player must win on at least two of three hands, and because there are three hands rather than two, the number of tied hands or “pushes” is greatly reduced. Each player is also allowed to place a separate bonus wager that the cards of the hand of the player will match one hand of a posted table of payout hands. In addition, each player is also allowed to place a separate “win all three” wager that all three hands of the player will be of higher rank than the three hands of the dealer.
