Abstract: Described herein are gaming systems and methods for providing multi-hand card games. A data processing system can receive a wager for a play of a multi-hand card game and present a graphical user interface having multiple hands. The graphical user interface can indicate a respective set of cards for each hand. The data processing system can determine, based on the respective set of cards for each hand, whether a hand satisfies a lock condition or an unlock condition. The data processing system can receive input to advance the play of the card game. The data processing system can update the graphical user interface according to the command for each hand satisfying the unlock condition. Finally, the data processing system can adjust the credit balance according to the player's multiple hands and the dealer's hand.

Abstract: A card game is described in which two hands of cards are dealt, and players are invited to wager on whether one hand or the other will win, or whether the hands will tie. The hands may initially be formed from two cards each, and further cards may be added to the hands on the basis of a predetermined dealing tableau. Determination of the winner may be on the basis of a modified blackjack scoring system which provides for a winner even if both hands have totals over 21. In an alternative embodiment, the initial hands are formed from five cards each and the winning hand is determined by determining ascribing a rank value to the five-card combination and determining that the winning hand is the hand with the higher rank value. In some embodiments, the rank value may represent the highest-ranking poker hand which can be formed from the cards of each hand, and the winner will be the hand from which the higher-ranking poker hand can be formed.
