Abstract
A method for playing a modified game is provided wherein, if the dealer shows an Ace as the up card, and after action is completed regarding insurance wagers, the dealer exposes the down card regardless of whether or not the dealer has a Blackjack. In a further or additional embodiment, if the player has a predetermined holding from the initial cards dealt such as a twelve and draws a ten value card to bust, at least a portion of the player's wager is returned to the player. As but yet a further feature, the player may opt to make a bonus wager. If the player makes a bonus wager and from his initial two cards has a card which matches in denomination or both denomination and suit, the player is rewarded up to 10:1 on the bonus wager whether or not the player ultimately wins his Blackjack wager. Additionally the bonus wager may be applied in the event the dealer's up card is a two and the player has a specified initial holding. Large payoffs may be provided for certain specified holdings.
