Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage to implement a wagering system, method and non-transitory computer readable storage medium. A computer system can implement a gaming methodology wherein a player is dealt a set of cards and splits the set of cards into two separate hands at the player's choice. The dealer is also dealt a set of cards and splits the dealer's cards into two separate hands at the dealer's choice.
