Abstract: A card game method pits a dealer against one or more players. The highest value hand is nineteen. The value of the player and dealer hands is the sum of the value of the cards in the respective hand and if the value is 20 or more, the value is reduced by 10 until the value is less than 20. A player who has placed a wager to win seeks to obtain a hand having a value greater than that of the dealer hand, which will generally mean a hand of nineteen or as close as possible to nineteen. A player who has placed a tie wager will seek to tie the dealer hand. Tens and face cards have a value of ten—otherwise, card values are as provided in traditional blackjack. In one embodiment, additional hit cards are limited to two, so that no player hand may contain greater than four cards. The dealer can draw up to three additional cards so that the dealer hand may contain no greater than five cards.

A player who has placed a wager to win seeks to obtain a hand having a value greater than that of the dealer hand, which will generally mean a hand of nineteen or as close as possible to nineteen. A player who has placed a wager to push will seek to tie the dealer band. Tens and face cards have a value of ten or zero—otherwise, card values are as provided in traditional blackjack. In one embodiment, additional hit cards are limited to two, so that no hand may contain greater than four cards.
