  • Method of playing Super Pan 9
    Patent number: 6511071
    Abstract: A rule change for Super Pan 9 presents a slight edge to the banker, thus encouraging greater participation in the game by those who ordinarily do not wish to bank and by those who desire to have their bets covered by a fully funded banker. A method of play comprises the specific designation of a type or value of special-rule Super Pan 9 hand (banker player's or non-banker player's), the appearance of which causes the banker to win a specified percentage of either all bets (when a banker's hand is designated) or of the bet of the non-banker player having the hand (when a non-banker player's hand is designated). The increase in odds favoring the banker is held to a predetermined and acceptably low value by the choice of special-rule hand whose frequency of occurrence can be determined statistically.
