  • Patent number: 6523830
    Abstract: A casino game between a dealer and a player uses a deck of cards consisting essentially of the forty cards Ace through ten for each of four suits. The cards each have a value equal to the face value of the card except Aces which may be valued at one or zero. The player makes a base wager and the dealer deals one card to the player and one card to the dealer. The player forms a final hand by standing or receiving additional cards. If the player receives a card that causes the player's hand sum to exceed ten, the player automatically loses and his base wager is collected. Alternatively, if the player forms a final hand consisting essentially of only two Aces, the player automatically wins and the player is rewarded unless, in an optional embodiment, the dealer also receives a hand of two Aces. A player may optionally increase his or her base wager if the initial card dealt is an Ace. The dealer forms a final hand by drawing additional cards or standing, optionally according to house rules.

  • Patent number: 6328305
    Abstract: A casino game played between a dealer and a player using a set of Pai Gow tiles, each tile including a pattern of pips defining a ranking for the tile begins with each player making an initial wager.

Wagers are resolved by first comparing the rank of the player's single-tile hand to the dealer's single-tile hand. The single-tile hand with the higher ranking is the winning single-tile hand. Next, the dealer compares the sum of the pips shown on the face of the tiles of the player's two-tile hand to the sum of the pips shown on the tiles of the dealer's two-tile hand. The two-tile hand with the higher sum is the winning two-tile hand.
