  • Patent number: 5741011
    Abstract: A game of skill and chance in which a plurality of decks of 34 cards comprising 10 numeric pairs of yellow designed cards, 10-10 through 1-1, and 7 numeric pairs of blue designed cards, 7-7 through 1-1, is used. One card in the deck is designated a wild card. Two cards are given special significance when present as a pair. This pair is the highest ranking hand. The next highest ranking hand is a yellow pair of 10s followed by yellow pairs of 9s through 1s, blue pairs of 7s through 1s, and then numeric combinations of any color. The highest permitted numeric combination is 9. Each player is dealt a set of 2 cards with the option of receiving one additional card. Any hand containing 3 cards can not be valued as a pair, that is, it will always be a numeric combination. The hand of each player is compared, in turn, to the corresponding hands of a banker/player.

  • Patent number: 5741012
    Abstract: A game of skill and chance in which a deck of 34 cards comprising 10 numeric pairs of yellow designed cards, 10--10 through 1--1, and 7 numeric pairs of blue designed cards, 7--7 through 1--1, is used. The highest ranking hand is a specially marked non-numeric yellow pair, followed by yellow numeric pairs 10--10 through 1--1, blue pairs 7--7 through 1--1, and numeric combinations of any color. Each player is dealt a set of 4 cards which the player arranges into subsets of 2 cards each. These hands or subsets are denoted as the front and back hands respectively. The subsets of each player are compared, in turn, front hand to front hand and back hand to back hand, to the corresponding hands of a banker/player. The combined outcome of the comparisons determines the outcome of the round of play as between that player and the banker/player.
