Abstract: A wagering game, such as Ban-Nag or Blackjack, includes defining a finite set of cards. The player plays multiple sequential game hands by placing a wager, receiving cards from the finite set cumulatively excluding any cards previously dealt, playing the game hand to completion, collecting the cards from the player and dealer and excluding the dealt cards from further play, and displaying at least the excluded cards or any winning combinations precluded by the excluded cards. Optionally, a proposition wager may be offered in each player game hand having an eligible game hand sum in which the player is rewarded if the player game hand reaches a target value. The game hands continue in sequence until a restoration event, which may be manually triggered or automatic, that restores the excluded cards. Optionally, multiple game hands may be dealt simultaneously from a finite set continuously depleted of dealt cards.

Abstract: A method of conducting a wagering game according to the rules of a base game includes defining a finite set of game indicia. The player plays multiple sequential game hand by placing a wager, receiving game indicia from the finite set cumulatively excluding any game indicia previously dealt, playing the game hand to completion, collecting the game indicia from the player and excluding the dealt game indicia from further play, and displaying at least the excluded game indicia or any winning combinations precluded by the excluded game indicia. The game hands continue in sequence until a restoration event, which may include a manually triggered restoration or an automatic restoration event, that restores the excluded game indicia. The invention also includes a method for conducting multiple game hands dealt simultaneously from a finite set continuously depleted of dealt game indicia.
