Abstract: A method for playing a wagering game with cards using a stripped-down 52-card deck, from which Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings have been removed and a Joker card added to create a 37-card deck. A player/dealer can play either one or two sets of hands per round of betting and players can also have the opportunity to bet on a bonus situation, thus providing multiple opportunities for players to win.

Abstract: Players place bets. A 36 card deck with the tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings removed from a standard 52 card deck is dealt into eight piles of four cards each in front of a house dealer. A player/dealer chooses an action pile from the eight. A roll of three dice establishes who receives the action pile. The last four cards and any cards at vacant player positions are discarded. Players each create a front hand of two cards and a back hand of two cards of higher value than the pair of cards in the front hand. The player/dealer turns over his/her cards to the face side for both front and back hands. Each player in turn, beginning with the action hand, compares front and back hands with those of the player/dealer. Betting chips are paid or taken by the dealer/player depending on the comparative value of the player hands to the dealer hands.
