Abstract: The game typically comprise dealing a number of cards, typically five cards, to each of the players and dealer. In a first phase, the player attempts to make a qualifying hand. To make a qualifying hand, the player must use three of the five dealt cards to equal a predetermined point total, typically a total of 10, 20, or 30. If the player is able to make a qualifying hand, the player moves onto a second phase of the game and takes the two remaining cards to create a point hand that will be compared against the dealer's point hand. In the second phase, if the player's point hand is superior to the dealer's point hand, the player will win. However, if the dealer has a superior point hand, the player loses his wager(s). If the dealer and the player have an equal point hand, the game is considered a “push.
