  • Blackjack game with side wager on predetermined hand
    Patent number: 8651489
    Abstract: A method to implement a blackjack side wager. The player makes a side wager which buys the player a predetermined point total such as 18. The game then continues and the side wager is resolved as if the player's hand for the side wager was 18, using the same blackjack rules as main wager at the table. If the dealer busts or has a final point total less than 18 the player wins the side wager. If the dealer does not bust and has a final point total greater than 18 the player loses the side wager. If the dealer has a final point total equaling 18 then the player pushes the side wager.
