Abstract: A variation of the card game of Twenty-One enables each player to play a single hand against multiple successive dealer's hands. The apparatus for playing the game includes a table layout with positions designated for the players to make their wagers and play their hands and for the dealer to play his hands. Each of the dealer's hands uses the same "up" card. Each player makes one or more antes to be eligible to participate against each of the dealer's hands played during any particular round and two cards are dealt to each player and the dealer. Each player then takes hits or stands as desired by the player. Once all of the players have completed the play, the dealer then takes hits or stands as required by the predetermined method of play of the dealer's hand. Once the dealer has completed the play of his hand, winning player's wagers are paid and losing player's wagers are collected, but only relative to the player's first ante and any additional bets that may have been made.

Abstract: A modified method of playing blackjack or Twenty-One where a player plays the same hand against two or more successively dealt dealer's hands. To begin the game each player makes one or more antes to be eligible to participate against each of the dealer's hands. Each player and the dealer are dealt two cards with at least one of the dealer's cards turned face-up. Each player and the dealer then takes hits or stands according to the conventional manner of play of Twenty-One. The dealer's first hand is compared to the player's single hand. Winning player's wagers are paid and losing player's wages are collected, but only relative to the player's first ante. The dealer discards his first hand except for his face-up card, and then using the face-up card the dealer deals himself a "second" hand according to the conventional manner of play of Twenty-One. The dealer's second hand is compared to each of the player's same hand that the players played against the dealer's first hand.
